Understand operating costs
Fuel, repairs, insurance, tolls, driver payroll, and contractor payments all affect margins. We discuss useful reporting categories and whether your existing records can support vehicle- or service-level analysis.
ACCOUNTING & TAX / TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS
Accounting for
Transportation & Logistics Businesses.
Keep your business moving with a clearer financial picture.
Fuel, drivers, equipment payments, and customer receipts can move on different schedules. Collins CPA helps trucking, delivery, freight, and other transportation business owners connect monthly bookkeeping with business returns, owner tax work, and year-round planning.
Discuss your businessTHE FINANCIAL DETAILS THAT MATTER
Reconcile settlements and receipts
Carrier settlements, broker payments, factoring proceeds, and processing fees can complicate the path from an invoice to a bank deposit. We review source reports so the accounting reflects the underlying activity.
Keep equipment and debt organized
Trucks, trailers, financed vehicles, and other equipment need supporting records. Agreed asset and loan schedules keep those balances connected with the monthly financial statements.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Accounting that works alongside dispatch and operations.
Your business continues handling dispatch, load tracking, customer billing, collections, and vendor payments. We review how those records reach QuickBooks Online, reconcile the agreed accounts, and prepare monthly financial statements. For businesses using factoring, we review advances, fees, and reserves as part of defining the bookkeeping scope. Transportation-specific filings, including IFTA or highway-use tax returns, require a separate scope discussion and are not automatically included in income-tax preparation.
For our first conversation
Bring recent financial statements, carrier or broker settlements, factoring reports if applicable, payroll and contractor records, and vehicle financing statements. Describe any transportation-specific filing requirements during the initial conversation.
BEFORE WE TALK
A little more detail.
Can you work with owner-operators and small fleets?
Yes. We can discuss the needs of an owner-operated trucking or delivery business as well as a company with multiple vehicles or drivers. The proposal is based on the accounts, transaction volume, reporting needs, and filings agreed for your business.
Do you serve businesses outside Mobile?
Yes. We serve business owners in Mobile and Baldwin counties, with remote service available. The business fit and scope are discussed before work begins.
