15. Profit and Loss Statement
• The P&L serves as the report card of your
company’s performance each month.
• Many software packages will compare the
P&L to previous years/months, year to
date and offer percentages for easy
comparison of numbers.
16. Profit and Loss Statement
• The P&L can lead to a number of other
financial ratios such as: Return on
Investment (ROI), Return on Assets
(ROA) and many others that we will not
discuss at this time, but be aware that
these calculations are important to
investors and bankers.
17. Budget
• The Budget is your financial road map and
is used to determine whether you are on
track or not.
– Annual budgets are spread over 12 months of
the fiscal year
– Based on the projected revenues of each
month and business activities of each month
– Example: May is most likely busier than
December, your budget should reflect that
activity
18. Budget

Chart of Accounts, but make it unique to your
company.

it’s publications available for you to purchase.

spreadsheet based on fiscal year- 12
budgets by month

your business on a given date and time

this document.
22. Cash Flow Report
• Cash flow is a summary of when cash will
be received in the business.
• Cash flow is used to determine when
suppliers and other bills can be paid by
the business.

and out of the business.
23. Days of Sales Outstanding
• Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO)
– This term refers to the number of days from
invoice to collection.
– The longer the days outstanding the slower
the customers are paying you.
– This needs to be monitored by someone in
your office
24. Job Cost Reports

projects on a monthly basis to determine labor
issues.
– Materials are not as important on
maintenance projects.

to be on your projects, whether it is just man
hours or to be broken down by job function:
such as Mowing, Pruning, Weeding??

• Payables
– What you owe the suppliers and vendors for the goods
purchased for a project.
– Most vendors and suppliers offer terms of net 30. Thirty days
from date of purchase they expect payment
– You need to develop a rolling chart of when you can make your
payment to them, referred to as cash flow report.
– Include such things as payroll, taxes, equipment payments
– Knowing when and where the funds are coming from to make
these payment is a necessary part of your business
26. Account Payables and Receivable
• Receivables or Aging
– These are the payments from your customers to you-sometimes
referred to as aging.

– Knowing how your customers pay is important to you meeting
your obligations to your suppliers, employees and good ole
Uncle Sam.
– Watching this closely is a method of knowing if there may be an
issue with a customer.
– Most contractors will invoice net 30 or pay in 30 days
– If you allow this number to grow from 30 days it will cost you
money
– It is important to get on top of these numbers and collect the
money owned your company
