Your revenue is set by enrollment, your biggest cost is set by ratios, and the state pays some of your families’ bills for them. We keep childcare books that reflect how a center actually runs.
A center is a payroll business with a tuition problem. Every decision about staffing, rooms, and rates shows up in the same two lines, and the books have to keep them side by side.
We track tuition by classroom so you can see which rooms carry the center and which ones are waiting on enrollment.
Assistance payments and food program reimbursements are income, and the IRS's Child Care Tax Center points to the reporting rules. We book them where they belong so year end holds no surprises.
Staffing follows the state's ratios, so labor cost moves with enrollment. Your monthly report shows labor as a share of tuition, room by room.
The IRS looks at who controls the work and how the relationship is set up when it decides whether a worker is really a contractor. We set substitutes and part-timers up the right way from the first shift.

When an agency writes, we answer it. You hear about it after it is resolved.
When you're ready to open another site, the numbers are already set up to show whether the first one earns it.
Enrollment changes every month. Your accountant shouldn’t disappear for eleven of them. Book a call and we’ll show you what your rooms are really worth.
