What the accounting actually looks like
Bare Cat LLC operates as an independent small-business platform under separate ownership, which makes workspace isolation and clear handoff structure non-negotiable. Revenue lines depend on the specific service mix, but typically include recurring service fees and project-based engagements processed through Stripe or similar. Expenses include hosting, software, contractor support, and standard small-business operating costs. The 1099 list scales with contractor engagement volume. A monthly close with a clean CPA-handoff posture matches how an owner-operator wants to run.
How ATCS handles it for bare-cat.com
-
Multi-business workspaces with role-based access
Separate ownership demands a workspace that is fully isolated from any operator or affiliated entity.
-
CPA handoff bundle
An owner who works with an outside CPA benefits from a one-click bundle rather than ad-hoc requests.
-
1099-NEC vendor tracking with tokenized W-9 capture
Contractor-driven small businesses need clean year-end forms without paper W-9 storage.
-
Audit log + close-cycle workflow
A defensible trail and locked periods support owner-led finance in front of any future advisor or buyer.
Bookkeeping reality for Third-party client engagements
Third-party engagements demand strict separation: the books, the workspace, and the audit log all belong to the client, not to the operator. Multi-business workspace isolation enforces that. Owner-led finance benefits from a one-click CPA handoff bundle, encrypted vendor records, and locked closed periods that any outside professional or future buyer can defend.
