Bookkeeping Services for Wallingford Small Businesses

Wallingford has a deeper manufacturing and light industrial base than most towns its size, alongside the retail and service businesses on Route 5 and in the center. Manufacturing bookkeeping carries complications most small businesses never see: inventory valuation, equipment depreciation, job costing, and sales and use tax on materials. ASP Bookkeeping handles that work from Hamden, a short drive south.

Use Tax Is Where
Manufacturers Get Caught

Sales tax on what you sell is the part everyone knows about. Connecticut use tax on materials and equipment bought out of state is the part that shows up later as a bill with interest attached. ASP sets QuickBooks up to track both correctly and keeps the filings current, which for a manufacturer is often worth more than everything else on this page combined.

Common questions from Wallingford business owners

Do you handle inventory accounting?

Yes. Inventory valuation and cost of goods sold are central to getting a manufacturer's books right, and getting them wrong distorts every profit number you look at.

What about use tax on out of state purchases?

This is a common exposure for Connecticut manufacturers. ASP makes sure your system tracks taxable purchases correctly, so it is handled as you go rather than discovered during an audit.

Our books have not been reconciled in years. Where do you start?

With a cleanup. Alan reconciles the accounts back to a point you can trust, then puts a regular monthly schedule in place so it does not happen again.
