Business is business, no matter the business you're in. My clientele ranges from two employees to sixty. The company's gross revenues ranges from $250K to $7 Mil. Each project and client is unique. I deliver to them solutions and results that works best for their company, their industry, and their demographics.
QuickBooks Training & Bookkeeping
I help my clients pick the QuickBooks program that is best suited for their small business. I customize forms and templates that are professional and can be sent directly from their company files. Training may include; how to use functions such as sales orders, purchase orders, bill payment tracking, and progress invoicing. As a QuickBooks user for twenty years and am QuickBooks Certified, I can train on how to make the program work for the company and increase their efficiency. I also manage and reconcile my client's accounts.
Saved $28,000 the First Quarter on Overtime
When my client asked me to look into why he was paying so much in overtime, I investigated the crew's daily preparations. It was upon reviewing of the procedures that showed there were thousands of hours of non-applied time (time spent looking for things, waiting around, and coffee breaks before arriving at the first job).
We standardized the morning and evening preparation, set some guidelines and held the crews accountable. The owner reported he saved $28,000 the first quarter the changes were implemented.
Got Back $26,000 In Tax Refund
The question some small business owner ask me is, "How come it shows I have money, but I really don't."
After reviewing the client's QuickBooks file, I discovered that there were several double entries and the owner was unaware that the books weren't reconciled correctly. When he filed his taxes, the accountant nor the owner noticed the mistakes.
Once I re-reconciled the books and removed the double entries, the client was able to refile his tax returns which resulted in a refund of $26,000.
Job Descriptions & Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
Job descriptions and standard operating procedures for roles within the company is a key factor for success. I work in close collaboration with the business owners to create job descriptions that include outlining the duties, pay structure, and pertinent job function information. A structured job description and standard operating procedures benefits the company as well as the employee.
I helped a client create a custom job description for a key position within the organization. The employee's understanding of the position from the document helped decrease the training time.
Found an Extra 20 Hours a Week
One of the most frustrating and costly expense is to pay an employee to enter data and do double entries.
A project tracking administrative assistant spent 20 hours a week entering and re-entering time cards and tracking sheets. After reviewing her procedures, I was able to find a solution that allowed her to do the entry once and import the data to a third party software.
The employee had an extra 20 hours a week to be productive, she was able to focus on other tasks that had fallen behind.
