Bookkeeping for Custom Apparel & Print Shops

Bookkeeping for Custom Apparel & Print Shops

Keep job deposits, materials, vendor bills, and shop costs organized.

I understand your business

Custom apparel and print businesses may take deposits for jobs, purchase blank garments and print materials, pay for equipment, and manage orders at different stages.

When customer payments and production purchases do not happen at the same time, accurate monthly records help you see how the business is moving financially.

The details matter

  • Customer deposits, job invoices, and final payments
  • Blank garments, inks, paper, and other materials
  • Equipment purchases, repairs, and maintenance
  • Contract production, design, and shop support
  • Packaging, delivery, and shipping costs
  • Software, rent, utilities, and payment fees
