Industry-Focused Solutions for Georgia Businesses
I help any business with trust-fund taxes. These are the industries where the rules are trickiest and the stakes are highest.
Automotive Dealerships
Vehicles in Georgia carry TAVT rather than sales tax, so a dealership’s challenge is the books: floor plan, inventory, deals, and payroll that all have to tie out.
See Dealer Bookkeeping Services
Restaurants & Food Service
High volume, cash, tips, and a point-of-sale system that has to charge the right county rate. Restaurants are often audited on what they bought, not just what they rang up.
- POS tax settings checked against current county rates
- Service charges vs. tips, and delivery platform sales
- Daily sales posting from Square or Toast to QuickBooks
- Use tax on equipment and supplies
- Payroll withholding for tipped employees
- Catch-up and resolution when returns fall behind
Contractors & Landscapers
The exposure here is use tax: materials and equipment bought without tax or out of state, and jobs that cross county lines. Owners rarely know they owe it until an audit.
- Use tax review on materials and equipment
- Out-of-state purchases used in Georgia
- Job-site county rates
- Payroll withholding for crews
- Bookkeeping by job, so you know which jobs make money
Multi-State Sellers
Online and wholesale sellers can owe sales tax in states where they have no office, once sales pass a state’s threshold. Back exposure often surfaces when the business is sold.
- Nexus review: where you’re required to collect
- State registrations
- Marketplace facilitator review
- Voluntary disclosure for back exposure, including the multistate program
- Ongoing filing
Other Cash-Heavy Businesses
Convenience stores, retail shops, salons with product sales, and any cash-heavy business where sales tax adds up quickly. If you collect sales tax or withhold payroll tax, I can help.
