for gas stations & convenience stores

Fuel, inside sales and lottery, kept straight.

A station moves a lot of money that isn't yours. We separate the margin you keep from the cash passing through, file your taxes and registrations, and send you one page a month you can act on.

What makes station books different.

Fuel margin versus inside sales

Fuel is big revenue on a thin margin. The store is where the profit lives. Your one-page P&L shows each on its own line, so you know which one is carrying you.

Money that passes through

Lottery settlements and money orders are mostly other people's money. We book them so they don't inflate your sales or your taxes. Your commissions show up as the income they are.

Card fees on every gallon

Card processing is one of a station's biggest costs. We track it every month and flag it when the rate creeps.

Tobacco, alcohol and sales tax

We register new stores for employer, sales, tobacco and alcohol taxes, and keep the sales tax filings current.

Flat prices. No hourly billing.

Heartbeat adds $300 one-time onboarding and has no contract. Payroll on its own and new business setup are quoted by phone or email. Full pricing.

Straight answers.

Can you register my store for tobacco and alcohol taxes?

Yes. New business setup covers LLC or corporation formation plus employer, sales, tobacco and alcohol registrations. Call or email us for pricing.

I have more than one location. Can you handle that?

Yes. Each location gets its own one-page P&L, so you can see which store is pulling its weight.

How do you treat lottery and money orders?

As pass-through money, not sales. Only your commissions count as income. That keeps your gross receipts, and your taxes, accurate.

Do you work with stations outside Philadelphia?

Yes. We're based in Philadelphia and have done taxes for station owners for thirty years through RastogiTax. We work with stores anywhere in the US by phone, video and a secure portal.

Fifteen minutes. Free.

Bring a bank statement, a merchant statement, or last year’s return. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
