State childcare subsidy payments reconciled to the enrollment periods they represent — not just the deposit dates. Prior-period adjustments tracked, hold-backs documented, and variances flagged. You always know the difference between earned subsidy revenue and what's actually been received so cash flow surprises don't catch you off guard.
USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program reimbursements tracked as a separate revenue stream and reconciled to your meal count records. Food costs categorized correctly to support your program documentation. Monthly reconciliation so your books and your CACFP records always match — important for program audits and renewals.
Childcare payroll set up with proper role classification from day one — directors, lead teachers, assistant teachers, and aides each tracked separately. Overtime exposure identified. Benefit eligibility by role documented. Your labor cost reports show what you're spending on each staff tier, not just a blended payroll number.
Private-pay tuition and state subsidy income tracked as distinct revenue lines in your chart of accounts. Provider certificate income tracked separately when applicable. You always know the real mix — what percentage of your revenue is government-funded and what's private-pay, and how changes in enrollment affect each stream.
Your revenue is a direct function of licensed capacity, actual enrollment, and the subsidy vs. private-pay mix. We build a simple enrollment-based model so you can forecast revenue as enrollment changes, understand your break-even headcount, and make staffing and expansion decisions with real numbers behind them.
Licensing fees, annual inspections, staff certifications, mandatory training, and compliance-related costs tracked separately so you see the true cost of operating a licensed childcare facility. Renewal timelines visible so you're never caught off guard by a large compliance expense. Behind on your books? Catch-up bookkeeping gets you current first.
Tax filings and legal matters — coordinated with your CPA or attorney. Turnkey CFO does not provide tax or legal advice; we keep your books filing-ready and support the process.
We learn your center — licensed capacity, enrollment mix, subsidy programs, CACFP participation, staff structure, and current software. No sales pitch.
We connect to QuickBooks, review your chart of accounts, map your revenue streams and staff roles, and assess what needs to be restructured before going live.
Monthly close package, subsidy vs. tuition revenue split, CACFP reconciliation, role-based payroll, and enrollment-based P&L running clean from month one.
