A 750ml bottle yields about 5 five-ounce pours, and wine pour cost typically runs 25–30% versus 18–24% for liquor. This guide covers FIFO costing by vintage, by-the-glass yield math, shrinkage as a real COGS line, and why wine bars need separate on-premise and off-premise revenue and COGS accounts from day one.
Under IRS Notice 2014-21, every mining pool payout is ordinary income at its fair market value on receipt — a daily-payout pool creates ~365 taxable events a year before you sell anything. This guide covers hobby vs. Schedule C classification, 15.3% self-employment tax, Section 179 vs. 100% bonus depreciation for ASICs, the 2026 per-wallet cost-basis rule, Form 1099-DA reconciliation, and the per-lot records mining books need to survive an audit.
Draft Finance Bill 2026-27 clauses published on L-Day (July 13, 2026) modernize HMRC's Schedule 36 inspection powers to explicitly cover cloud-hosted accounting records, with consultation open until September 7, 2026. Here's how the change interacts with Making Tax Digital and what UK small businesses should do now.
Pet waste removal services gross $20–$45 per visit at ~50% gross and ~20% net margins, with top operators reporting $2M+ in annual revenue. This bookkeeping guide covers the metrics that actually decide profitability — revenue per route-hour, deferred revenue on prepaid subscriptions, and separating residential cash flow from invoiced commercial contracts.
A code-audit firm selling fixed-scope static audits, hourly remediation, and resold SAST subscriptions runs three ASC 606 revenue-recognition rules under one roof — point-in-time, as-performed, and ratable. This guide covers the chart of accounts to separate them, the principal-vs-agent test for reseller margin, and a worked example posting one client engagement across unearned revenue, unbilled receivables, and subscription margin.
Effective July 1, 2026, Virginia's HB 975 replaces the flat 45% food-to-beverage ratio for mixed beverage licensees with three tiers — no ratio above $48,000 in monthly food sales, 30% between $25,000 and $48,000, and 45% below that — making monthly food-sales tracking a compliance requirement, not just an annual MBAR exercise.
Alphabet's Q1 2026 revenue was $109.9B (+21.8% YoY) with Google Cloud accelerating to 63% growth and backlog above $460B, but the 82% jump in diluted EPS to $5.11 rests largely on a $37.7B other-income line — mostly unrealized marks on non-marketable equity securities. Backing out the $36.9B equity-securities gain leaves EPS near $2.76, roughly flat against last year's $2.81. Rebuilding the FY2022–Q1 2026 books in a public Beancount ledger shows exactly where the gain landed — non-marketable securities rose from $68.7B to $106.9B, not cash.
Amazon's FY2025: $716.9B net sales (+12.4%) and a record $77.7B net income (+31.1%) — but operating income grew only 16.6%, with a $15.2B non-operating equity gain accounting for $7.0B after tax. AWS grew 19.7% to $128.7B and produced 57% of company operating income on 18% of revenue, while PP&E jumped $104.4B in a single year. Modeled line by line in a public Beancount ledger.
Apple's Q2 FY2026 revenue reached $111.2 billion (+17% YoY) with expanding margins across every geographic segment, and a new $100 billion buyback authorization pushed retained earnings positive for the first time since fiscal 2021. Full income statement and balance sheet, FY2021-Q2 FY2026, in a public Beancount ledger.
Broadcom's FY2025: $63.9B revenue (+23.9%) and GAAP net income of $23.1B, up 292% from $5.9B — but decomposing the $17.2B swing shows revenue growth explains only 72% of it, with roughly $4.8B coming from a tax provision flipping to a $397M benefit plus one-time restructuring and discontinued-operations reversals. The durable signals are Infrastructure Software's operating margin rebounding to 76.8%, above its pre-VMware baseline, and AI semiconductor revenue guided to roughly double to $8.2B. Rebuilt line by line in a public Beancount ledger, FY2021–FY2025.
Circle's Q1 2026 revenue was $694.1M (+20% YoY) with USDC in circulation at $77.0B, but $405.4M — 58.4% — went to distribution partners, leaving an RLDC margin of 41%. Reserve income is 94% of revenue, so the top line tracks short-term interest rates. Rebuilding Circle's books in a public Beancount ledger also shows FY2025 was a net-loss year (−$70M), driven by a one-time $503.4M IPO compensation charge in Q2.
A frame-off classic car restoration can run $20,000 to $200,000 in labor and parts against a finished car worth less than the invoice, so restoration shops need per-job cost centers, a Work-in-Progress asset account, and phase-based billing to stay solvent across builds that last one to two years.
