There Once Was A General Contractor - Who spent many a nights staring at his Aggravation Box, QuickBooks For Contractors!
He understood That Contractors Build Things - That can be seen, touched, heard, smelled, and anyone can form an opinion about it just by looking at it.
Bookkeeping Is Not Real - It is a hidden Inside The Aggravation Box of a desktop computer, I-Pad, notebook, Smart Phone or some other electronic device.
The Paperwork - Went to the In-House Bad Bookkeeper who put stuff into the Aggravation Box and every night the contractor would try to get some reports to come out.
He Stayed Up Late - Looking for reports in QuickBooks because he understood that only one person could be in QuickBooks at a time. If he knew about our QuickBooks Desktop Online program which allows multiple people to be in QuickBooks at the same time he could get reports anytime, anywhere 24/7 no matter who else was using QuickBooks.
He Needed Reports - Like Cash on Hand Profit & Loss and other Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Reports to know how much money was in the bank and how profitable the business is now.
Unfortunately The Reports From The Aggravation Box - Did not match the bank’s records, the supplier’s unpaid bills, or the money his customers owned him which meant the Aggravation Box was like an unproductive employee costing money and producing garbage.
After A While The Reports - Were so far removed from reality that they were painful to look at, let alone make business decisions! This is when he got very upset, angry and started not liking his in-house bookkeeper.
His Bookkeeper Was Power Tripping - And withholding reports or deliberately generating misleading ones depending on his mood at that moment. He was a Bad Bookkeeper They are very easy to identify and in easy to replace with an outsourced bookkeeping solution which could save up to 40% over what you are spending now!
The In-House Bookkeeper - Kept deciding what reports the owner should have and which ones he should not have.
Sometimes The Bad Bookkeeper Guarded - The reports and not give them to the contractor because the bookkeeper knew they were (F.U.B.A.R.) Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition.
When The Contractor Finally - Figured out that his finances were in chaos anger got the best of him.
The Contractor Said To His Bookkeeper - “Bookkeeping is only a few keystrokes, how hard can it be? I should be able to push a button and get the reports I need and they should be accurate. What is wrong with you?”
The Bookkeeper Responded - "If you think it is so easy you can do it yourself or get somebody else, I quit!
The Contractor Kept Thinking - I have a dashboard on my truck that gives me everything I need to know with one quick glance; so why can't I get the same thing in QuickBooks?
Surfing The Web - For a new Bookkeeper he found our QuickBooks Dashboard.
When We Met And He Saw Our 5 at 5 For 5 System - He was very interested. Very quickly he discovered how in just 5" minutes he could push "5" buttons and have the "5" KPI reports every contractor needs by "5" P.M. to operate and grow his business. He was a very, very happy contractor!
