El monitoreo de los gastos e ingresos es vital para cualquier empresa, especialmente para las pequeñas compañías.
El monitoreo de los ingresos requiere el registro de los pagos por niño/familia, ya que ayuda a asegurar que usted está recibiendo fondos, y tiene el beneficio adicional de ser un registro de cada pago. Una adecuada contabilidad le ayuda a usted y tambien a las familias a completar su W-10 y sus impuestos. Heather Mallett es una proveedora de cuidado de niños en Vincennes, Indiana. Ella es la Directora y Propietaria de Happy Hearts Daycare and Preschool LLC, como tal, Heather comparte este formulario de Registro Individual de Pagos Anuales para monitorear los pagos y registrar los totales para las familias. Hace unos años, Heather encontró este recurso a través de una colega directora general de una guardería con sede en otro estado y lo ha utilizado desde entonces.
Para utilizar el formulario
- Prepare uno para cada niño/familia al principio del año
- Ponga el formulario en la documentación del niño.
- Anota el pago cada viernes, o cuando sea necesario.
- Anote el total al final del mes.
- Por último, sume el total anual y añada su número de identificación fiscal.
- Haz una copia para compartirla con las familias y guarda el original para tus archivos.
Heather también incluye una nota en la que se indica si las familias desean otra copia, que costará 2 dólares.

Tracking both spending and income is vital for any enterprise, especially for small businesses.
Tracking income requires logging payments per child/family as it helps ensure you are receiving funds, and has the added benefit of being a record of each payment. Accurate bookkeeping helps both you as well as the families complete their W-10 and taxes. Heather Mallett is a family childcare professional in Vincennes, Indiana. She is the Director and Owner of Happy Hearts Daycare and Preschool LLC, as such, Heather shares this Individual Annual Payment Record form to track payments and record totals for families. A few years ago, Heather came across this resource from a fellow childcare CEO based in another state and has used it ever since.
To use the form:
- Create one for each child/family at the start of the year
- Add the sheet to the child’s folder
- Enter in the payment every Friday, or whenever payment is due
- At the end of the month, tally the total
- At the end of the year, add the annual total and add your EIN
- Make a copy to share with families, and keep the original for your records
Heather also includes a note stating, if families request a second copy, it will cost $2.
