Services
Financial and back-office services for guitar repair shops
Everything is delivered remotely. All services are built specifically for the guitar repair and lutherie business — not adapted from a generic bookkeeping template.
01
Monthly Bookkeeping
Clean, reconciled books delivered every month. I categorize everything correctly for a repair shop — repair labor income, parts income, COGS for shop supplies, vendor purchases from StewMac, AllParts, Mojotone, WD Music, and more. You get a clear picture of your shop's finances without having to think about it.
- ✓ Monthly reconciliation
- ✓ Income & expense categorization
- ✓ Monthly P&L + balance sheet
- ✓ Vendor invoice processing
02
Sales Tax Compliance
Repair labor may or may not be taxable depending on your state and whether parts/consumables were used. I can handle the initial research and setup, filings, and ongoing compliance so you don't get caught flat-footed by your state's Department of Revenue.
- ✓ Initial sales tax research & advisory
- ✓ Sales tax return filing
- ✓ Invoice & POS setup review
- ✓ Labor vs. parts tax mapping
03
Accounting Software Setup
Get your QuickBooks Online or Wave account set up correctly from the start — or cleaned up if it's a mess. That means a chart of accounts built for a repair shop, proper income types, correct COGS categories, and bank feeds connected and reconciling cleanly.
- ✓ Chart of accounts setup
- ✓ Bank & credit card connections
- ✓ Income/expense category mapping
- ✓ Historical cleanup (priced separately)
04
QuickBooks & Wave Training
One-on-one Zoom sessions built around your actual shop, not generic tutorials. We'll work through your real accounts, your real transactions, and the specific workflows that apply to your shop.
- ✓ Live Zoom sessions
- ✓ Session recordings included
- ✓ Custom workflow walkthroughs
- ✓ Follow-up Q&A support
05
Financial Reporting
Monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement delivered in plain language — not accountant-speak. I'll flag anything unusual, highlight trends, and give you the context to understand what your numbers actually mean for your shop.
- ✓ Monthly P&L + balance sheet
- ✓ Cash flow statement
- ✓ Plain-language summary
- ✓ Quarterly trend review
06

- ✓ Service pricing analysis
- ✓ Dealer account evaluation

- ✓ Internal controls review
07
