Hey, I hope you are having a fantastic day.
I made a post yesterday and it made me start thinking about you and your business.
If we've never met before, Hi, I'm Candus Kampfer, and I love to help
business owners and bookkeepers customize QuickBooks.
So yesterday,
I was thinking about the fuel prices.
Have you noticed?
That they have gone up?
I'm sure you have.
So I made this post on Instagram. And it was like,
Is this only in California?
I was, I was like driving my husband's driving, just so you know,
I was very safe when I did this.
But he was driving, and I'm like,
Oh, my goodness,
look at the gas prices.
And I wonder how many businesses this is impacting.
So made me start thinking about you.
And I made this little post on Instagram. And I was like, Is this only California?
Or your fuel prices? And
75% of you said, Yep, yours have increased and 25% was like,
even more,
right? where you're located depending on the state that you're in.
And it made me start thinking about
business,
and how,
as things are increasing,
it is even more valuable than ever to know what's happening in your business.
And I was curious,
how's your QuickBooks going?
Right? We talk QuickBooks,
I help you do bookkeeping.
So
how's it going?
Are you?
Do you have your reports designed in a way that's helping you make business decisions?
Do you know if you're profitable, whether your trucking company
whether you're in construction, you're a consultant,
these
fuel prices, and everything else that's increasing,
is gonna directly impact your business,
and we want to make sure that you're profitable.
So my question is,
do you know?
Have you started customizing your QuickBooks?
Do you have it designed in a way?
Alright, so I want to kind of go through and actually
share my QuickBooks screen with you.
So that you can,
we can talk about a little bit, sound good?
Let's talk about some reports to be looking at.
So whether you're a desktop user or online,
some of the things that your gonna want to start looking at
is going under Reports,
company and financial, and you're gonna want to start looking at your profitability,
okay?
So depending on what?
business you're in,
it might be job costing, so construction, or if you have individual jobs,
if you have like rental properties, or other things,
depending on your business models, there's variables,
you might be looking at
classes, right?
Or maybe you're looking at just a standard
Profit and Loss and you, but you need to understand
how to design this so that you can actually read it,
because what I'm realizing as I was thinking about business myself, right,
like I'm in business too, where we have different businesses,
like
how much knowing this data
is a huge pivotal moment.
So if you are a online user,
your's is gonna be under Reports.
And then you could look at your profit and loss if you have an under Favorites.
Otherwise, if you haven't watched my video on how to do favorites,
you can do that over here with a little star but profit and loss, right? So
are you looking to see how profitable you are?
Because as business changes,
this is gonna be a key.
Okay.
So whether you want to know by job specifically,
or just in general,
your gonna want to actually
customize
your reports.
And I'm actually hosting a workshop.
So if you've never come to my Customizing QuickBooks workshop,
I'm actually gonna be teaching this.
So if you're like, Yeah, I realized this is really something that I need.
And I have not been doing it.
I'm gonna be teaching it and I thought I'd let you know,
I actually have classes next week.
So you can register to attend.
We're gonna be talking about the three keys to Customizing QuickBooks. So it's gona be
how do you read your reports
how to make sure you're using
only the features you need to be using,
because there's a lot of different features in QuickBooks,
you don't need to be using them all.
So whether you've attended before,
or you'd like to attend, again, make sure you register
to attend is completely free.
But you do have to register to get the link. And I have three dates.
We're doing these live,
there special workshops I do a couple times a year. So make sure you save your seat.
But we're gonna be talking about exactly this.
How do you make sure
you have the data you need
to make decisions, right? So,
we always think about tax time,
right? Like
I wrote an email the other day, it's like
tax time, tax time it's like a little like,
I kind of think of Broadway play, right? Like,
tax time and all these little people singing tax time.
Yet.
QuickBooks isn't just about tax time.
I tell you,
you've probably heard me if you've ever
watched some of my videos before that
it's also about making decisions, right?
And so this is part of that.
it's going like where do we need to increase our prices?
Where do we need to focus our energy?
What are the products that we need to double down on or the services
that really are our bread and butter that's gonna help us
get through some of this stuff, right?
And then where are the places that we can adjust?
are we charging enough or do we need to pivot?
And that's what
you can start learning when you get your QuickBooks set up in a way that gives you that data
Let me know if this sounds good. And if you've saved your seat,
what you are most excited to learn.
Again, you can go to canduskampfer.com/workshop
and let me know are
the prices of fuel or in general right like wood costs, all the different increases?
are they impacting your business? I'm curious,
I'd love to know, I love business. So I'd love to know,
let me know below.
and I look forward to seeing you on the workshop
Thank you for being part of my community.
And
I want
your reports to be a level at least 9 or 10,
like 9, let's go with 8 or 9,
where you're like, yes, it's customized, I can make decisions.
Because you're doing all that work, we might as well,
be able to use it to make decisions
and
be able to go to your tax appointment,
give them a couple of reports. And that's it,
believe it or not,
that is possible. So right now you're like,
oh, my gosh,
when I go to see your tax professional, it's so stressful.
Because I can't give him the data you need.
It's because
you have the tool, you have QuickBooks.
Let's get it set up just for you.
Alright,
Thank you for being part of my community.
Let me know what you're excited to learn.
See you soon.
Bye.
