Description of Company – Newton Financial Planning

After many years with his company, Chance Newton was caught by the entrepreneurial spirit. After carefully saving up enough seed capital and convincing a recently unemployed colleague to join him, he developed a well thought-out business plan and started Newton Financial Planning (HFP). Chance saw great opportunities. He lives in a large metropolitan city in Texas, close to several regional colleges and large universities, as well as hundreds of medium to large corporations. He plans to offer financial planning, investment and estate planning seminars, plus related consulting services to individual, corporate and institutional clients. Furthermore, his business plan includes the purchase and promotion of planning kits, along with several popular books and instructional DVDs related to achieving financial stability and success, which he will sell at corporate and collegiate brown-bag lunch seminars. Several times a year he conducts large seminars on financial planning and building wealth. He also offers companion seminars on estate planning and minimizing taxes. To control his new start-up, he selected QuickBooks software to help manage the business operations while fulfilling fiduciary responsibilities from an accounting, tax and record-keeping perspective. To launch the company, he has hired a full time employee, Liz Bellingham, and a part-time employee, June Flannery. He has leased 1,200 square feet of downtown office space. Using QuickBooks and the sample file (Newton.QBW), you will record initial start-up costs, complete one month of business transactions, including purchases, sales, deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and taxes as well as track inventory and reconcile a bank account. In the end, you will answer several questions about the finances for Newton Financial Planning.
