Bookkeeping Support for Bloomfield and Nutley Small Businesses

Running down the middle of both towns, Bloomfield Avenue is where the businesses that have built lives of shop owners, contractors, and service providers have been. Many of these small business owners are keeping the books with either an old spreadsheet or bits of paper that haven't been updated since March.

We're here to help.

Remote bookkeeping for small businesses in the Bloomfield and Nutley area. We spend our weeks plumbing pipes down the street off of Belleville Turnpike, trimming the grass near Yanticaw Park, or repairing air conditioning systems to older homes along Franklin Avenue. These small businesses are hands-on, we don't have to be with bookkeeping.

Almost all of the home service businesses within the Bloomfield and Nutley area will experience the same problem. Finish the job, get the payment, and leave without understanding if you were actually profitable on that job. With job costing bookkeeping, you can finally see if that job was profitable. We track costs to give you a breakdown of labor, materials, and profit on each individual call. For example, a roofer replacing shingles on one of those older Nutley colonials needs to know if the drive time and dump fees ate into the margin.

What is worrying business owners in Bloomfield and Nutley right now?

• Flooding receipts in the truck without a way to organize them
• The QuickBooks that nobody set up or hasn't been used
• The sales tax return that you don't want to face every few months
• Not knowing which jobs are really profitable

We take care of all of that remotely. We don't need to come to the office. We login to your QuickBooks Online, get the books cleaned up, and kept current every month. Our monthly bookkeeping service allows us to be prepared for tax time or even when you are needing financials for a loan application, partner, or meeting.

Since we only serve home service contractors, the ins and outs. Electricians in Nutley making service calls and doing electrical panel upgrades. Painters juggling three exterior jobs across Bloomfield in the same week. This is how we use QuickBooks with our clients to make sure the chart of accounts reflect how the business works, not just following a template you get elsewhere.

I used to work in corporate accounting for 20+ years and then started a bookkeeping business based on Teaneck. I also know what the stress of running your own small business feels like, which is why the books are so far behind. The area of Bloomfield and Nutley is full of hard working contractors who are great at what they do for their living. Bookkeeping is definitely not their strength, nor should it have to be.

We also do QuickBooks setup and configuration. A new landscaping company picking up residential accounts near Brookdale Park doesn't need a complicated system. They need something clean and that tracks income and expenses from day one. This is what we build.

So, if you are a home service contractor running your business within the Bloomfield or Nutley area and are not sure how to proceed with your bookkeeping, let us talk to you. free bookkeeping consultations to find out exactly what you need. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just talk to your accountant about your numbers. How do you sort out your accounts?

You will find us at:

1. Take Bloomfield Avenue north towards Nutley. Go into Nutley and stay on Bloomfield Avenue until Franklin Avenue.
2. Cross into Nutley on Route 21 North to Passaic. Continue on Route 21 until you join onto Route 3 West.

And yet, you do not have to travel.

We designed our remote bookkeeping services so that business owners in the Bloomfield and Nutley area do not have to make the trip here at all. All transactions are conducted online: your QuickBooks data, your bank connections, your reports every month; everything, and you never have to leave the place of work or the work site.

In the Bloomfield and Nutley region, this is significant. Our clients there usually work in the home services industry. A plumber is in the field performing work at all different places in Essex County. The landscapers are traveling the length of Nutley, Belleville, and Clifton. And the HVAC technicians are making calls all over Washington Avenue and Centre Street. They just do not have time sitting in traffic on Route 3 while making the drop for their receipt books.

, our work is done remotely. When we connect to your online QuickBooks account, we take care of your monthly bank reconciliation, project accounting by job, and every other detail that needs to be managed. We do so without your having to meet with us face to face, and that is until such time as you request it.

A few of our clients from the Nutley region are more than content to meet face to face during that initial meeting. That's fine. The route from Bloomfield Avenue over to our Teaneck office is not difficult, particularly when you bypass Route 3 in the event of rush hour. Before 9 a.m. or just after noon at 1 o'clock, the trip is smoothest.

If you come from the Bloomfield side near Watchung Avenue, you can also go up Broad Street north to Route 3 and proceed down the same path. This saves a few minutes.

In the course of the initial meeting, the relationship moves online. After this meeting, you can conduct your monthly follow-up calls by Zoom or telephone. We email you all reports. You can submit documents electronically via a secure online portal. Our clients in Bloomfield and Nutley who provide home services really like this approach, because their working day is built on this model.

One roofer we work with near the Nutley Park Oval told us he used to spend half a Saturday driving to his old bookkeeper. He now checks his cash flow statement on his mobile phone in the gap between projects. This is the type of transformation remote bookkeeping services can bring to active business owners in the area.

Nutley and Bloomfield: A Unique Business Area

Franklin Avenue in Nutley sees a lot of activity on weekday mornings. There are contractors grabbing a cup of coffee before a day on the job site, landscapers loading up their trucks on side streets off of Bloomfield Avenue, and small business owners operating in a modest storefront or home office that's located right between several older residential areas.

It's not a high-end commercial center. It's a working business area.

What distinguishes the Bloomfield / Nutley business community from other parts of the region is the large concentration of trades and home services companies. Think plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and painting contractors who are servicing clients in and around our area. Many of them were one-truck operations that started out decades ago but whose bookkeeping hasn't kept up.

Several key things define this business community:

• A large concentration of home services contractors who service the whole of Essex and Bergen counties
• Family businesses that have been passed down or started by Nutley and Bloomfield residents over generations
• Seasonal peaks and valleys that affect contractors who work outdoors (landscaping and roofing) in the winter months (November-March)
• A small number of staff that are responsible for invoicing their own jobs but lose track of jobs by mid-year

This is a recurring theme among contractors near the Bloomfield / Nutley area. The roofer on Centre Street has just signed six jobs in a month. He uses a paper notebook to track materials and his smartphone for deposits. Come tax time, the two don't add up. Nutley NJ remote bookkeeping services fixes that issue before it gets out of hand.

There's also a residential component to this community. Most of the homes here were built decades ago, which means there's always some kind of demand for renovation, remodeling, and emergency repair jobs. Contractors never run out of jobs. But without clear visibility on how much each job costs, that means you may be busy but not profitable.

Job costing bookkeeping is of great importance to home improvement contractors in and around Bloomfield / Nutley. The painting company bidding on a job on Watchung Avenue needs to know what that job cost in real terms. And it shouldn't be an assumption or an average. It should be the exact cost per job that allows a growing contractor to separate themselves from the rest.

There is a strong group of business owners in and around this community that do it all for themselves: They are responsible for quoting work, managing the crew, buying materials, and chasing invoices. That means bookkeeping is a lower priority. Understandably, running a small business in and around Bloomfield Avenue leaves very little time for a deep-dive into QuickBooks at the end of the month.

But the Bloomfield / Nutley area rewards people who do it all for themselves. The customer base is strong and loyal. Neighbors talk to neighbors and every job leads to three more just on that block. This is how you grow your business. You know your margins and you track your cash flow.

Businesses in our area don't want some big accounting firm downtown. What they want is a bookkeeping service that knows what trades are all about, how to track jobs with three staff, and maintain clean books on a month-to-month basis without needing to come in to the office. And that's exactly how we do things in our Teaneck office, a short drive away from home.
