Bookkeeping for Households Near Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church

Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church is physically located on First Street in North Caldwell, and its congregation spans North Caldwell as well as adjacent Essex County communities like West Caldwell and Fairfield. Within this broad parish, a large number of families maintain home-based small businesses. Remote accounting firms have made it their business to serve such home businesses.

Home-based business owners in North Caldwell and the surrounding area who use remote accounting enjoy the benefit of having accurate accounting, without leaving their homes or even picking up the phone to speak to anyone. All of their accounting is performed online, and this style of accounting has become very compatible with the lifestyle of most of our clients in this area.

As you can imagine, the streets surrounding the church are quiet residential streets, where the predominant dwelling type is single family homes with nice yards. But in addition to the residential character, many of the single family homeowners also operate home based businesses in various service trades, such as being a contractor or a landscaper, a painter, an electrician and so on. The owners of such businesses get up early to work on a job in the early morning and get home late. They just do not want to have to deal with all the accounting for their business. And the remote bookkeeping service companies provide them with that service.

Here are some of the characteristics of this part of the world which make it a prime area for remote bookkeeping:

• Many of the single family homes here are owner-occupied, but the owners may have side businesses and are in many trades.
• Many of the households in North Caldwell have rental real estate as an added income stream to a regular W-2 job.
• Home services contractors throughout North Caldwell and surrounding parts of Essex County need their job costs properly recorded in their accounting system.
• Many of the small landlords in the parish area are filing 1099 forms for their subcontractors.

We work for a plumber, living in North Caldwell and doing jobs across the surrounding towns. He used to keep his invoices in a shoebox in his garage. His accounting in QuickBooks was a total mess, and so we had to do a QuickBooks Cleanup first, and then moved him to regular monthly bookkeeping. And now he knows, in every project, which ones were profitable and which were not. Such knowledge has changed the way he does business.

But there are home businesses in the North Caldwell parish area other than contractors. There are many households, for example, that deal with the income and expenses related to being a small landlord. Many residents of North Caldwell own a duplex or a small multi-family home. And the residents have to report all of the income and expenses properly each and every month in their bookkeeping system. For small business owners managing these finances on their own, the Small business bookkeeping guide from the SBA is a useful starting point for understanding recordkeeping obligations.

In other words, all the homeowners and small business owners in this parish area, need an expert in QuickBooks who can do their accounting, without them having to leave the house. That's what we do. We work in QuickBooks Online. The clients snap photos of receipts with their smartphones and those receipts get posted into our client's accounting system, and then we reconcile their bank accounts, and categorize all their expenses, and provide them with monthly reports.

We also take an extra step for the home services contractors who are part of this parish area, we set up the job costing for them in QuickBooks so that they can see the profit and loss per job. So if we have a contractor who is doing a tear-off roofing job and a re-roof in the same week, he needs to know what the job was and if one job was more profitable than the other. We make that visible.

So if you are a business owner at the church on First Street with a home nearby, you no longer have to stress about your books. This area and its trades are what keep these neighborhoods going, and we’re here to support that from our Teaneck office.

How to get to Capgro Bookkeeping Services from Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church area

The Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church is in North Caldwell on First Street. We do remote bookkeeping services over the internet so, in many cases, you don't have to drive anywhere. That's the point about our remote bookkeeping services throughout northern New Jersey.

But suppose you do want to come to our office on Congress Ave in Teaneck. Here is how you do get to our office here in Teaneck from the North Caldwell parish:

1. Tell your eastbound Westervelt Place to Bloomfield Avenue.
2. Turn right on to Bloomfield Avenue and go through North Caldwell center.
3. Talk Route 23 South towards Verona. Then get on the 3 East towards the George Washington Bridge.
4. Take the Teaneck Road exit heading north in Teaneck.
5. Turn left on Congress Ave. Our office is 1090 Congress Ave.

With the road clear you will probably get here in 25 minutes. But the trip can easily take 40 minutes and sometimes more in rush hour on the Route 3, and it may be very different on different days.

Most of our clients in that area never do this ride. They don't have to. We get everything done through our QuickBooks Online and secure file share. And if you want, you can take a picture of all your receipts from your phone as soon as you get out of the church parking lot after Saturday evening mass. We then take care of balancing your books at our desk here in Teaneck.

Why remote bookkeeping works well in this area

There are quiet, residential streets all around the First Street parish. There are lots of families there. Many of those families have members in small business running their home, or their trucks. Landscapers who begin early morning in the jobs in Essex County. Painters and their crews working in towns over the border in Bergen County. And HVAC contractors that work on three or four towns in one day.

None of these people can afford to be sitting around in someone else's office. Their days start early in the morning and run very late into the evening. This is one reason why our remote bookkeeping works. We schedule ourselves, not them.

We get QuickBooks set up for people in the North Caldwell area who are contractors, with work that runs all over northern New Jersey. From jobs and job costing to tax filing. All done remotely. And we send you reports every month by email. You read them, and you do all the rest when you can.

Yes, our office is located in Teaneck on Congress Ave, but that is irrelevant. We already service home service companies right down the street from the church who have never stepped foot inside our office. They found us via search, had a free consultation via the phone, and now their books are clean every single month. Are you a contractor in or near our parish of North Caldwell whose receipts are stuffed in a shoebox? We'll pair you up with remote bookkeeping in northern New Jersey without you leaving your neighborhood. There are no commute times; the coffee is already at home.

What Single-Family Homeowners in Established Neighborhoods Need from a Bookkeeper

There's a certain quietude to the streets that surround Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church. They're tree-lined and mostly single-family residences. For the most part, the homes are passed down from generation to generation of family ownership. But that type of ownership history brings up a specific type of bookkeeping that isn't necessarily covered with generic accounting services. People in North Caldwell like that may have more than one form of income. They may have a home-based business or pick up contract jobs in trades like lawn care, home painting, and electrical work. Because it's so close to Route 23 and major Essex County highways, our clients can easily live in a more residential, tranquil setting while servicing customers from throughout the state. However, that makes it difficult to keep your household and business expenses separate. With remote bookkeeping, no one's sitting in your home for that. You just need someone who understands what your monthly cycle is like:

• Job costs to identify jobs you're making money on as well as those you're not
• Household and business expenditures to identify before you start thinking about it
• Payroll for your team, including seasonal employees
• QuickBooks Online to keep up to date so that you don't start your year by redoing your bookkeeping in March.

People have lived in established neighborhoods like the ones around our parish in First Street for decades. Everyone knows everyone. And they refer people by name. That means your books need to show real profit, not the end-all figure at the end of the year. So if you have a plumber doing work from a house on Elm Ave, or a contractor doing work for people in your area whose vehicle you've seen parked along Terhune Place, you need monthly bookkeeping with detailed job-costing. We've built our practice on that.

Say you live near the parish church and have a small HVAC business. You have two employees and you hire additional staff during the hotter months of the year to help you with the increase in demand. Your spouse is responsible for invoicing but the bank account is not reconciled until January. When that happens, you have months of uncategorized transactions sitting in QuickBooks. You are missing receipts. The preparer of your federal income tax returns charges you more for dealing with your messy bookkeeping. Remote bookkeeping avoids that happening. Our team comes in each month and organizes it for you so no one thing builds up.

Single family property owners also are dealing with property tax deductions that need to be properly recorded. Deductions for your home office, vehicle use and equipment you're keeping in the garage aren't that hard deductions, but they do require clean books. When you're filing sales tax and doing all that, the deadline isn't waiting either.

The streets in the vicinity of Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church aren't lined with major companies. They're lined by working folks with houses and real businesses. That is exactly who our remote bookkeeping services cater to.

Those are the streets and homes that we do remote bookkeeping for in and around North Caldwell, from our Teaneck office, with over 20 years in accounting and recently have become focused on home services bookkeeping.

Your bookkeeping services should keep up with your work. Not do a best guess when it gets to the end of the year.
