Solo Bentonville bookkeeping — answered personally, never a queue.
Bookkeeper — answered personally.
On the 10th of every month, end of business — not “around,” not “by end of week” — the three plain-English reports below land in your inbox. One short package: P&L for the month just closed, balance sheet as of the last day of the month, cash flow showing where the money actually moved. Plus a one-line read on every number, in plain language.
The four sections of the monthly close: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, plus a short plain-English read on each. Sample numbers throughout — the layout is the deliverable.
Clearly labeled — no real client, no real figures.
What’s in the sample
The monthly close package: the three plain-English reports below are exactly what your bookkeeper delivers on the 10th, in the order you read them. Sample numbers below are illustrative — the layout is the deliverable.
Report 01
Revenue for the month, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expenses broken into the buckets that actually matter on the business, and operating income - with a one-line read on what changed vs. the prior month, not a chart-of-accounts dump.
Report 02
Cash and equivalents on hand, accounts receivable aging, inventory and fixed assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and ending equity as of the last day of the month - with a read on runway vs. month-ago and the year-to-date trajectory.
Report 03
Net cash from operating, investing outflows (equipment, etc.), owner draws or loan activity, and the month-over-month change in cash - written so the answer to "can I pay next month's bills?" comes off the page in a glance.
