Bookkeeping for a Town Built Around the Oil Patch
Crane is the county seat and only town in Crane County, and it has served the surrounding oil fields since the 1926 discovery. Oil has driven the county ever since, and ranching still covers a large share of the land. A lot of local businesses are lease service, roustabout, hot shot and welding outfits, with a few ranch and retail operations mixed in.
In a town this size, the same owner often runs two or three ventures out of one checking account. That is where the trouble starts. Monthly bookkeeping pulls those threads apart so each business has its own numbers, and your accountant, lender and the IRS all see the same picture.
One Owner, Several Ventures
Separate classes or entities for the service company, the ranch and any rental property, even when the money moves between them.
Costs by Lease or Customer
Labor, fuel and parts tied to the operator or lease that used them, so you know which work pays.
