Marine Accounting Has More Moving Parts Than Basic Bookkeeping
Marine businesses often combine service work, retail parts, dockage, storage, project deposits, subcontractors, payroll, travel expenses, and seasonal cash flow. We structure your accounting so QuickBooks tells the truth.
Parts, Labor & Job Costing
Track service labor, parts, subcontractors, haul-outs, freight, and job deposits so you know which projects are profitable.
Dockage, Storage & Recurring Revenue
Organize slip fees, storage, monthly accounts, prepaid deposits, customer balances, and recurring marina revenue.
Merchant Deposit Reconciliation
Match card deposits, ACH payments, refunds, chargebacks, merchant fees, bank feeds, and invoices to prevent hidden errors.
Seasonal Cash Flow
See cash needs before slow season hits. We help separate real profit from deposits, parts purchases, debt payments, and owner draws.
Payroll & Contractor Records
Support crew payroll, subcontractor bills, 1099 tracking, reimbursements, travel costs, and owner compensation records.
Monthly Owner Reports
Get clear monthly reports showing revenue, gross margin, expenses, open invoices, cash flow, and cleanup items that need attention.
