The Specific Challenges We Solve
Perishable Inventory and Daily COGS
Unlike retail with static SKUs, bakery inventory turns daily and waste directly affects your real cost of goods. We track production costs against sales so your margin analysis reflects what you're actually keeping — not just what you baked.
Wholesale vs. Retail Revenue
Bakeries supplying cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores alongside their own storefront have two distinct revenue streams with different margins, payment cycles, and customer relationships. We track each separately.
Florida Sales Tax on Baked Goods
Florida's food sales tax rules are notoriously specific — some baked goods are taxable, some aren't, and the threshold rules matter. We apply the correct rules for your product mix and file accurately every reporting period.
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.
