Questions that arrive before a gin month is closed

Does the cheque count in the month it hit the bank, or the month the cotton left the field? It counts in the month the books are kept on, and we will say which method the file already uses before anyone moves a number. Changing the method is a decision, not a cleanup.

Can you file the sales tax while the fair week is still mixed into the batch? We can file what is known and label what is not. We will not file a blended number and call it the city's.

Will you run payroll? No. We set it up on the provider you choose, watch the first clean run, and leave the button with you. The books then record the wages in the right month.

Questions about the return

Can the return start before the last month closes? The parts that depend on that month wait. A draft can be built from the months that are already closed, and it is labeled as a draft.

What if a number on last year's return does not match this year's books? We stop and find the month it broke. A plug is not how that break gets hidden. Plugs are how a later year becomes unreadable.

Do you need every receipt? We need the ones that explain a deposit or a bill the bank cannot explain by itself. A shoebox is fine. A story with no paper is not a record.

Questions about the relationship

Is there an office to visit? No. Owners in Lubbock meet us on a video call, look at the same books, and use a calendar link when a clock time helps. A video call can replace a drive. The written close day stays the written close day.

What does it cost? It depends on how many months are open, whether payday still needs to be set up, and whether a lender is waiting. We quote the scope in writing. No single price is posted, since a shop with one gin and a farm with three gins are different jobs.

How fast is the first answer? On this working day or the next. A time you pick on the calendar starts a talk. It does not create a signed scope.

People also ask whether a shop in town and a farm outside town can share one close. They can share a practice. They should not share a set of books. Each one gets its own month, its own bank match, and its own close date. Mixing them is how a fair-week batch ends up explaining a gin cheque.

After the first close, people ask whether the next month can use the same checklist. It can, when the gin, the cards, and payday did not change shape. A new lender, a new crew, or a new sales channel adds one line to the checklist. The close date stays where it was.

Keep going on the gin month.
