I keep the books for companies that produce running races and baseball and softball tournaments. Monthly books, a profit and loss statement for every event, and a clear view of the money you've collected for events that haven't happened yet.
Race companies putting on 8 to 25 races a year. Registrations come in months before race day, charity dollars pass through your account, and the platform payout rarely lines up with the bank deposit line for line. I sort out what you've earned, what you still owe runners and charity partners, and what each race cleared.
Tournament companies running 8 to 40 events a year. Deposits, rainout credits and housing rebates make it hard to tell what a weekend really made. I track the deposits you haven't earned yet and the credits you still owe teams, so each tournament's results are real.
On a calendar-year close, that money can land in the wrong year's profit.
Source: RunSignup, RaceTrends 2025.One event's registration payouts traced to the bank, an estimate of how much of your registration money is still unearned, and a check on money you're holding for others. You get a short written memo and a call to walk through it, whether or not you hire me for anything after.
Your books closed every month, every registration platform payout reconciled, and a profit and loss statement for each event. Money collected for future events stays on the balance sheet until the event happens. Includes a quarterly call, 1099s, and a year-end package for your CPA.
Running the business out of a spreadsheet? I rebuild a year of books in QuickBooks Online or Xero, with every payout matched to the bank and opening balances for money you've collected but haven't earned.
A season budget built event by event, so you know before registration opens what each event needs to clear. Includes a per-event report template and a written procedure for keeping the budget current.
A short call to talk through how you run your events and where your books stand.
I look at one event from registration to bank deposit and give you a short written memo.
Monthly books, a cleanup, or a budget, priced from what the Health Check found, not from a guess.
I'm not a CPA firm, and I don't prepare tax returns. I work alongside your CPA and give them clean, current books to work from. I don't run payroll or pay your bills, and I never have access to move your money.
