Job Costing with QuickBooks Desktop
May 16, 2019 at 12 p.m. Central Time
One of the most important things you can learn about your business is whether (and where) you’re making or losing money. The session will look at the process of creating a job budget (estimate) in QuickBooks and populating job-related reports with actual costs so you know where you stand throughout the production process and by the end of the job.
Specific areas covered will be:
- Understanding the difference in levels of detail required in the estimate process vs. the job costing process
- Review the importance of aligning estimating and job costing categories
- Creating a QuickBooks estimate (the basis of comparing actual costs to budgeted costs)
- Populating job cost reports
- Getting fully burdened labor costs into QuickBooks job cost reports (whether you run in-house payroll or outsource it)
- Interpreting reports
- Creating and tracking change orders
This session is geared towards intermediate QuickBooks users, specifically those whose existing setups aren’t giving them the information they need.

Remodeling Mastery Podcast
This episode of Remodeling Mastery gives us a much-needed look at something all business owners are intimately familiar with: stress. Contractors today experience stress at levels higher and in ways more complex than ever before. Not managed properly, it can suck the joy out of your business and make effective problem solving near impossible. So what’s a business owner to do when things are threatening to spiral out of control? That’s what Mark Richardson is here to talk about.
And follows it up with an interview with Rick Wuest, President and CEO of Thompson Creek Window Company.

Paul Winans writes: "I took woodshop when I was in high school. I was on the college track, but woodshop fascinated me. I also took some classes in mechanical drawing. Working with my hands and my mind felt good and eventually led to me starting a remodeling business.
Today, it seems like the trades have become the poor stepchild to getting a college degree. Check out this article in Popular Mechanics. The author, Roy Berendsohn, writes about the growing need for skilled trades people and the steps that are being taken to make young people aware that they can have good careers in the trades."

 No doubt, it’s a scenario you have encountered — and successfully managed — on any number of occasions:
A home or business owner wants a new bathroom where none exists. So he or she asks you for an inspection, an assessment and a quote. The space happens to be in a basement, on a slab or in a garage. In any event, to create below-floor drainage with either conventional plumbing or sewage ejection, you immediately conclude that you must pound through concrete. That means a messy, noisy, time-consuming job — and a high cost. So high, in fact, that when your customer sees your estimate, chances are, he’ll tell you to forget it.

Mark Richardson writes: "I’ve watched the length of the sales cycle steadily increase over my many years in the industry. Once a relatively short, predictable period of time that could be outlined and followed with little to no issue, the cycle has morphed into a prolonged headache for contractors and clients alike. What was formerly a 30-day sales cycle is now 60 days or more."

“Tax Day” – you know, the annual time around which millions of Americans bow to the necessity of filing a federal income tax return – provided the appropriate occasion to once again celebrate the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the first fundamental rewrite of the Federal tax code since 1986. Tax bills were lower for most, the tax filing itself was much easier for almost everyone, and the economy was given a bit more freedom to grow, create jobs, and raise wages.

You are finally at the end of that large remodeling project. The decking is done, the siding is in, and the new appliances delivered. So, you tally up those few remaining change orders and submit your last payment application. But to your surprise, you hear from the owner that she doesn’t agree with your claim for extras. You explain that the scope of the contracted work increased with some of the changes requested by the owner, but she just isn’t seeing it your way.

Consistency is the hallmark of great remodeling companies. Getting that consistency does not just happen; it takes planning, practice and documentation. Part of that documentation takes the form of standard operating procedures (SOPs).
SOPs set the standard for how your company gets things done and empowers employees to complete tasks with little to no training. Having SOPs in place will allow you to fill unexpected staff losses that otherwise could be very costly to your business.

Yes, it is a trade war, and even though some in the media are saying that it's just beginning, the president believes that this "war" has been going on for a long time.
Make no mistake about it, President Trump is following up on his campaign pledge to level the playing field in international trade. To him, the world needs us more than we need them. There is some credence to this position.
