Question

Help answer this question below.

My business partner is stealing cash from our automotive repair shop. He owns the building but my father and I own all of the tools and equipment. We have figured he has stolen 300,000. What should be our first course of action?

    How is he stealing the cash?

    Are you recording all cash income on the books?
    Has anyone been keeping cash off the books to avoid paying taxes?

    Have an accountant examine your business and create sound systems for keeping track of what you do, how parts and services are billed, and how everything is tracked and recorded.

    Deposit cash in the bank every night.

    Buy a safe if you need to.

    Visit with your bank and see what services thay have to handle cash for small businesses.

    I use Microsoft Accounting to manage my business. It is not trivial to use but it forces you to keep track of things.

    It costs $199.95.

    An accountant may be needed to help you set it up.

    Look at this:

    This integrates with Microsoft Accounting.

    I know this looks complicated but it will cost a lot less than $300,000.

    Good luck!
