Let Your Employees Know What They Cost
Employees cost significantly more than what they receive in salary. If you offer generous benefits, then they probably cost much more. Making your employees aware of this is a simple way to make them feel more valuable.
Get QuickBooks in Order in December
Spending some time reviewing and correcting your books in December makes it a lot easier to close them in early January and helps insure you get off to a good start in the new year. Here are some things to do:
Evaluate Your Profitability By Client
We generally know who are biggest customers are and which customers pay us the most money. It is much more difficult, however, to know who our most profitable customers are. The end of the year is a good time to evaluate your customers and figure out which ones have earned you the most profit during the year. Because it is often difficult to break costs down on a customer-by-customer basis, using your financial data to determine which customers were the most profitable might be difficult or even futile. All the same, the financial data is the place to start.
QuickBooks Classes
QuickBooks classes enable you to essentially break your business down into a number of smaller businesses and look at complete profit & loss statements for each business. For example, you could break your business down by industry, location, product or service, or anything else that is meaningful for your particular business. This is a powerful feature of QuickBooks and one that I often recommend clients use.
