Cameo's 1099-NEC reports your gross booking price, but the platform keeps 25% — and Apple takes another 30% on iOS orders — so booking only your net deposits creates an IRS mismatch and erases a deductible fee. Here's how to record gross revenue and platform fees separately, what the 15.3% self-employment tax costs once you clear $400, and the 2026 quarterly estimated-tax dates to calendar.
CLA, a top-10 U.S. accounting firm with nearly $2 billion in revenue and 9,000 people, is co-building a proprietary AI model with Digits trained on its own client base and rolling it out to thousands of clients over three years. Here is what firm-trained AI bookkeeping means for small businesses — what gets automated versus reviewed, where your data goes, how pricing shifts, and why keeping a portable plain-text copy of your books matters more as accounting goes AI-native.
Landfill tipping fees rose about 10% this year to a national average near $62 per ton — enough to erase a demolition contractor's 5–10% margin on a single misestimated job. How to job-cost disposal fees as their own line item, build a disposal contingency into every bid, and book scrap-recovery revenue against the right project.
How charge point operators should structure their books — splitting per-kWh energy COGS from demand charges (30–70% of many commercial utility bills), recognizing four distinct revenue streams correctly, and handling the Section 30C credit that expired for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.
How should a fractional CFO firm structure its own books? Retainers ($3,000–$15,000/month) are deferred-revenue liabilities until earned, unbilled work-in-progress belongs on the balance sheet, and revenue should be split by billing model — retainer, hourly ($175–$450/hour), and project fees — in a market headed past $3.2 billion in 2026.
How freight brokers should structure their books — separate gross freight revenue from net margin, record factoring advances as loans (not income), track quick pay fees distinctly, and account for the FMCSA $75,000 bond or trust reserve that 2026 rules require replenishing within seven days of a claim.
Full-service horse board runs $650–$1,600 a month nationally, yet a 30-horse barn's real costs can near $60,000 monthly — here's how to build a per-horse chart of accounts, handle vet and farrier pass-throughs, recognize board revenue correctly, and stay clear of the IRS hobby-loss rule.
Effective January 1, 2026, Illinois eliminated the 200-transaction economic nexus threshold, leaving a single $100,000 trailing-12-month revenue test for remote sellers. Here's who gains or loses nexus, how the August–October 2026 amnesty program works, and how to structure your books to answer state-by-state sales questions on demand.
How independent couriers and last-mile delivery drivers keep real books on 1099 income — the 1099-NEC and 1099-K reporting thresholds, a 25–30% tax set-aside habit, standard mileage vs. actual expenses, and a cost-per-mile formula that counts the 20–25% of miles driven deadhead to tell profitable routes from money-losers.
How to set up bookkeeping for a paragliding or hang gliding school — split tandem vs. solo revenue by USHPA rating level, capitalize $4,500–$9,000 wing/harness/reserve setups as depreciating fixed assets, track PASA certification and site insurance as recurring compliance costs, and hold weather-delayed tandem deposits as unearned revenue until the flight is flown.
Print-on-demand sellers run two different businesses — integration channels (Etsy + Printify) with real COGS, and marketplace channels (Redbubble, Amazon Merch) with none. This guide covers how to reconcile 1099-K gross figures, avoid double-counting platform fees, handle marketplace-facilitator sales tax, and structure a per-channel chart of accounts to track margins that range from 20% to 70%.
