Small Business QuickBooks Cleanup Near Hoboken and Union City NJ

Year-round, Bergenline Avenue has been a lively thoroughfare. There are businesses opening at 5 am, restaurants not closing until midnight, and contractors busy at work on row homes on New York Avenue. Small businesses in the areas we serve, such as Hoboken and the Union City area, work hard, and sometimes they are also short on time to keep their books up-to-date.

Incomes Union City NJ Small Business QuickBooks Cleanup, if you own a business near Palisade Avenue, such as a plumbing contractor and you run a landscaping service that services parks along the streets of Boulevard East, your QuickBooks file could be in a terrible state. There are duplicate transactions, bank feeds are not reconciling, and transactions that get put in to vendor bills are posted to the wrong account. It does not take long to end up with QuickBooks reports that do not match the actual situation.

This occurs most frequently with businesses in home services in the Hoboken and Union City area. A handyman has three roofing jobs booked in a week across Hudson County. There is a different expense for each job, but the accounting is entered into a catch-all category in QuickBooks. There is no way to determine profitability per project, as QuickBooks cannot calculate the margin per project.

There is a broad assortment of businesses close to Hoboken and Union City so we stay busy. This region consists of a long continuous series of multifamily units and business spaces lined up closely along the main arteries. There is a high percentage of these business owners who do not own their business properties; instead they pay rent. In addition to lease expenses, there are ongoing costs to account for in payroll, inventory and materials. We see these problems all the time as we clean up QuickBooks for local clients:

• QuickBooks Online accounts with many uncleared and uncategorized transactions, going on for months
• Bank accounts that have never, and credit card accounts have never been reconciled since initial QuickBooks setup
• Payroll transactions were either not entered correctly or at all into QuickBooks
• New Jersey sales tax that is received and has not been filed appropriately
• Open invoices in QuickBooks that have actually been paid in the past, and so should not be

Each of these problems make it impossible to clearly see what is occurring with your accounting.

And the truth is that many area business owners know that there is a problem, but do not know where to begin with the solution. An electrician who did work in Hudson County on jobs from 32nd Street to the Hoboken waterfront informed us that he hadn’t updated his QuickBooks in almost 8 months. When we got him all cleaned up and reconciled his accounts and re-categorized his jobs, he was now able to identify which jobs were profitable.

What Makes Union City NJ Business Landscape Distinct ideal for Bookkeeping

Union City has more small businesses per square block than just about anywhere else in Bergen County. Just walking down Bergenline Avenue reveals dozens of stores, eateries, and service businesses within a couple of blocks. This density creates a bookkeeping ecosystem in this town that you won't find anywhere nearby.

The types of businesses here mean that we spend much of our time doing QuickBooks cleanups in this town with these industry verticals:

• Home contractors (plumbers, painters, landscaping), all serving the many multi-family homes in Union City on New York Avenue and Summit Avenue
• Small stores and bodegas with many cash and card transactions each day
• Restaurants and food establishments, particularly those near the border of Hoboken and Union City, which typically need to account for sales tax on prepared foods
• Contractors, who perform renovations on many of the older buildings that exist throughout Union City, on nearly every street of the town

But, these aren't Fortune 500 corporations; they're one-truck tradesmen, mom-and-pop shops, owner-operated storefronts. And their QuickBooks files have that reflected in them. Transactions enter late, categories get mixed up, bank feeds sit untidy for months without anyone reconciling them.

The abundance of rental properties around the Hoboken and Union City area means the landlords there often have businesses on the side. We often see landlords who also do handyman or small contracting work in town. Their QuickBooks files end up all mixed up, personal expenses, business costs, rental income, revenue from individual jobs. It's a disaster that will make you want to cry on tax day.

But that's the area where we want to work.

Contractors that work around Hoboken and Union City have job costing issues that are often overlooked by typical bookkeepers. A roofer doing a tear-off job on a three-flat building on 32nd Street has no way to tell if they lost or made money on the project. Or, a landscaper doing work on properties along Park Avenue needs clean records so they know what client accounts are profitable. Sorting out QuickBooks means the numbers actually mean something to you.

We've done files for contractors who haven't reconciled a single month in the entire year. Receipts in a shoebox. Invoices spread out over two different apps. QuickBooks Online showing an ending balance that didn't match the bank by thousands of dollars. I had one HVAC contractor who operated near the Hoboken and Union City line who had three years of uncategorized transactions sitting in his QuickBooks file. Three years. We cleaned it up, and the following week, he could see which of his service calls were worth his time and which ones cost him money.

Union City business owners are long hours and they don't spend their evening at home, going through QuickBooks categories to file. The books fall behind, the file gets messy. Come January, they're in a panic. And this repeats every year. Unless someone steps up to help fix the root cause.

Different industries have varying sales tax requirements, a contractor is different from a restaurant. Job costing can look different for a painter vs. an electrician. And all of these details matter because that's how businesses really operate within this town.
