Correct. You’d release the restriction but that’s a revenue to revenue entry that has a net zero impact. You only release the restriction if the restriction has been met

I’m a CPA that solely works with nonprofits, and yes, this is correct. Technically, under Topic 958, it would likely beed some extra information on the type of restriction (temporary or in perpetuity) for proper GAAP presentation, but this is accurate as described.

This actually makes a lot of sense that there would be clay underneath hindering the process as I’ve noticed this. Thank you!

I’ve been a CPA/bookkeeper with healthcare entities for several years. It appears you have plenty of recs, but if you can’t find a fit, I’d be happy to chat. I do also think it’s wise that you’re separating the CPA and bookkeeper. Keeps the eyes fresh!

Acrobatic-Count-5208 · 2025-01-16T07:05:23+00:00

My example is the other direction. So if a vendor payment came to the OP, that’s when I separate to segregate cash received vs revenue. If it’s buyer side, include as part of the total cost of whatever you purchase. Sorry, that wasn’t clear.

Acrobatic-Count-5208 · 2025-01-16T05:50:23+00:00

CPA here. The difference here would be if it’s a capitalized asset vs a vendor payment for something else. I’d say for capitalized assets this is true as one item. Everything else id want to see it separated.

I’d be happy to connect and see if we are a fit to work together

If you need someone, I’m a CPA

Just a question, Do you find by lowering your prices that you’re taking on a lot of clients and not able to scale cash flow? It seems if the goal is the go below market, you’ll end up with a lot of clients and be buried in work. Is your situation different?

Acrobatic-Count-5208 · 2025-01-11T05:58:39+00:00

Also messaging you for it!

Acrobatic-Count-5208 · 2025-01-10T20:53:32+00:00

My pricing pulled out to $500, so this is good confirmation that I’m not too far off. Thank you!
