Bookkeeping for Self-Storage, Car Washes & Rentals

Yes — that is the point of setting the books up by industry. These are asset-heavy businesses with subscription-shaped revenue: memberships and monthly rentals billed automatically, against equipment or property that is wearing out on a schedule nobody is tracking. Prepaid months are deferred revenue, failed payments quietly reduce the recurring base, and the capital assets that generate all the income are frequently recorded as one lump with no depreciation schedule behind them.

Recurring billing reconciled to the management or point-of-sale system every month; Prepaid periods and annual plans recognized across the term they cover; Fixed assets tracked individually with real depreciation schedules; and 2 other recurring pieces. It is done monthly rather than reconstructed at year end, so the numbers are usable while the decisions are still open.

The three we see most: annual prepayments taken to income at once, distorting the year; failed and lapsed payments never reconciled, so the recurring base is overstated; equipment recorded as one asset line with no schedule behind it; repairs and improvements in one account, so nothing is capitalized correctly. Recurring revenue and depreciating assets, and both need watching.

Yes. We work inside your file so you keep ownership and full visibility. If you do not have one set up yet, we build it around your industry from the start, including a chart of accounts that matches how you actually earn.

That is our specialty. Cleanup is quoted at a fixed price after a short no-obligation review, so you know the cost before any work begins. Scope varies enormously, so we look first and quote second.
