Occupation Tax & Contractor Accounting
Occupation tax and business classification
Augusta-Richmond County uses gross receipts and a business classification in its occupation-tax system. The city's guidance excludes Hephzibah and Blythe from that jurisdiction. Confirm the actual operating location before choosing the application and reconcile reported receipts with the books. Augusta occupation-tax guidance.
Renewal records and changes in activity
The city's licensing resources include renewal, amended-application, and account-closure procedures. Keep notices and prior submissions together when a practice relocates, adds an activity, or closes a location. We help identify which revenue schedules support the renewal and which changes need separate attention. Augusta business-license resources.
Job costing before a financing request
For a construction or service contract, compare billings, deposits, labor, subcontractor costs, and unfinished work. A profitable income statement can still hide a cash shortfall if receivables are slow or costs arrive before the next billing. We use those schedules to prepare a practical cash forecast.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
For an audit or other assurance request, bring the lender, grant, board, or regulatory requirement. We confirm the engagement type and applicable professional requirements before accepting the work.
