Is this a replacement for my accountant's software?

No. It is the shop-side ledger that produces clean, exportable numbers — sales, rentals, repairs, lessons, cost of goods — that your accountant or bookkeeping package can consume.

Can I see profit by revenue line?

Yes. Retail sales, rentals, repairs, and lesson tuition are reported separately so you can see which part of the shop actually pays the rent.

How does inventory value get calculated?

From the cost basis on each unit, including refurbishment costs, so stock valuation reflects what you actually spent rather than a list price.

Can I export for month-end?

Yes. Every report exports to CSV or PDF, including a period P&L, inventory valuation, and outstanding customer balances.

Bookkeeping Software Built Around How a Music Shop Earns

A music shop has four businesses inside it: retail, rentals, repairs, and lessons. Generic bookkeeping tools flatten all of it into one revenue line. Music Shop Suite keeps them separate, values your stock at real cost, and hands your accountant numbers that reconcile.

Profit reported by sales, rentals, repairs and tuition
Inventory valuation from real cost basis, including refurb
Outstanding customer and school balances in one view
Month-end P&L exported to CSV or PDF
Committed supplier spend from open purchase orders

Four revenue lines, reported honestly

Rentals look like steady income until you count the repairs they generate. Lessons look small until you see the retained retail they pull in. Splitting revenue by line is the fastest way to find out which part of the shop deserves more of your week.

Revenue and margin per line, per period
Repair recovery on rental fleet visible separately
Tuition income with outstanding family balances

Stock valued at what you actually paid

Cost basis follows the unit from purchase order or trade-in through refurbishment to sale, so inventory value is a real figure rather than an optimistic one.

Month-end without a spreadsheet rebuild

Pull the period P&L, the stock valuation, and the aged balances, export them, and send them on. No re-keying, no reconciling three systems that disagree.

Period P&L export
Inventory valuation export
Aged customer balances

Numbers your accountant will accept

Every figure traces back to a document — an invoice, a work order, a rental agreement, a purchase order — so questions at year end have answers.
