The Specific Challenges We Solve
Deposit and Deferred Revenue Tracking
Catering contracts collect deposits months before the event. That money isn't earned revenue until the event delivers. We recognize income correctly so your P&L isn't overstated and your taxes aren't paid early on income you haven't earned yet.
Event-Level Job Costing
Do you know which events actually made money after food, labor, rentals, and travel? We set up event-level tracking so you can price future contracts based on real cost data — not instinct.
Seasonal Cash Flow Management
Catering revenue peaks around weddings, corporate events, and holidays — then slows. We build cash flow projections that help you manage overhead during slow months without surprises.
A Bookkeeper Who's Also a Federally authorized Enrolled Agent
Most bookkeepers categorize transactions and hand you a report. Simple Books Now does that — and our Licensed EA can also represent you before the IRS, file your business and personal tax returns, and advise on tax strategy year-round. One firm. No referrals. No gaps.
