With all deference I don't think you need a CPA to set you up when it's just you and one helper and a struggling business. You DO need someone who knows what they are doing. Anyone can call himself a bookkeeper, but 'accountant' means more, and you pay a lot for 'certified.' I did it for years and was totally self taught, from IRS booklets.

There are associations of retired professionals who help with this! AARP offers help. But you need to find them where you are so you can get help in person. Check the AARP website.

Please don't use chat speak B.

Residential accounts are basically homes or housing related jobs. Commercial accounts are businesses such as office buildings, medical buildings, warehouses, etc. Retail speaks for itself.

Hello again, B:

I STAND by my earlier advice... You have NO IDEA what you're talking about! That's NOT criticism! NO boss KNOWS every single little job that everybody DOES in his company.. He HIRES EXPERTS. That's what you need to do. This is NOT something you can learn online. It is NOT something you can learn by reading IRS documents.

BE the expert cleaner that you are.. LET an expert businessperson HELP you RUN the business.
