Cloud workflow
Shelley context, nationwide reach
Shelley runs on two things: the ground and the people who work it. Out past town it's potato cellars, grain bins, and the equipment that keeps a Bingham County operation moving. In town it's the shops and family businesses on the main street. Both earn money in their own rhythm, and both deserve books that match how the cash moves.
That's our work. We're a local Idaho Falls firm a short drive up the highway, handling bookkeeping for Shelley farms and businesses so you're not reconciling receipts at the kitchen table after a long day. You get someone who knows eastern Idaho, picks up the phone, and replies within one business day. Our founder, Mark Browning, is an advanced certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (Online and Payroll).
Idaho context
What we do for Shelley businesses
Books matched to the farm season
A potato or grain operation spends heavy in spring on seed, fuel, and inputs, then sees most of the income land after harvest. We set your books up around that real cycle, so a thin checking balance in June doesn't read like a thin year. You see the whole season building instead of one month at a time.
Crop, equipment, and input tracking
We track stored potatoes and grain as inventory, log your seed, fertilizer, fuel, and custom hire in categories that mean something, and keep tractors, pivots, and trucks on the books as fixed assets with cost and dates ready for your tax preparer's depreciation. When you trade a piece of equipment, the books reflect it cleanly.
Main-street and retail bookkeeping
For Shelley shops, cafes, and service businesses, we reconcile your card batches and cash drawer against the bank, track inventory and cost of goods, and close your books by the 10th of each month so you're looking at last month while it still matters.
Idaho sales and use tax, filed on schedule
We track Idaho's 6% sales and use tax inside your books and file it on the right schedule for you. We also flag the use tax you owe on equipment, parts, and supplies bought out of state or online and used here in Shelley.
Payroll for steady and seasonal crews
Whether you keep a year-round crew or bring on extra hands for harvest and Spud Day weekend, we run payroll with Idaho income tax withholding and State Unemployment Insurance. New employers start at the 1.0% unemployment rate. Withholding registers with the State Tax Commission and unemployment with the Department of Labor, both through the Idaho Business Registration system.
1099s and contractor records
Custom harvesters, haulers, mechanics, and anyone else you pay as a contractor get tracked all year, with W-9 details collected up front. When January comes, your 1099 totals are ready to file instead of buried in old check stubs.
We know Shelley, Spud Day and all
Shelley sits right in Idaho's potato country, and the town throws Idaho Spud Day every fall to prove it. That farming base shapes how money moves here: big swings around planting and harvest, and main-street businesses that feel the same seasons. We're based in Idaho Falls and we get it, because eastern Idaho is our backyard. Start with a free books health check and we'll reply within one business day.
Questions
Bookkeeping in Shelley
Do you work with businesses in Shelley, or just Idaho Falls?
We serve Shelley businesses. We're a short drive up the highway in Idaho Falls, doing bookkeeping for Shelley farms and main-street shops across Bingham and Bonneville counties. Most of the work happens in the cloud through QuickBooks Online, so you don't need to drive anywhere, but we're close enough to be a real local firm.
I farm potatoes and grain. How do you handle Idaho tax on the things I buy for the operation?
You owe 6% Idaho use tax on out-of-state or online purchases where no tax was charged and the item is used here. We track your purchases, record use tax where it's owed, and keep clean records so you're not overpaying or exposed. We handle the bookkeeping side and work alongside your tax preparer at filing time, so anything specific to your situation gets sorted with them.
My income is lumpy and my books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes, and that's common for farms and seasonal businesses. We start with a free books health check to see where things stand, catch up the backlog, and get you current. From there we close your books by the 10th of each month so you always have a fresh picture. We reply within one business day, so it's easy to get started.
