QuickBooks contractor Financial Reports such as Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash, Receivables, Payables, Job Costing Reports and Job Profitability Reports are a mystery to most contractors. Unless you have invested years in learning how to read them and really understand the coded messages hidden in plain sight reading them can literally make you take a nap.
There are several reasons for this and one of them could be your brain is working overtime trying to assimilate all of the information being presented. All learning is based on connecting new things to things already known.
For Example tell a child sitting in front of a kitchen door in a restaurant that could be pushed opened and strike him to move and he may ignore you. Tell him that if someone opens the door and hurts him then he may need to go to the hospital and get stitches again like what happened when he fell of his bicycle and he will move. He is able to understand the new information by connecting it to something he already knows.
Contractors Know there is something more too the financial statements than meets the eye. The reason most accountants never explain it to them in a way that makes sense to them.
Most contractors process information visually because they work in a tangible world where almost everything arrives in their brain from one of more of the five senses, sight, sound, feel, taste and smell. Contractors process massive amounts of information and are able to see patterns emerge and have a heightened awareness of their surroundings because the construction can be dangerous.
Most accountants process information mentally because they work in an intangible world where almost everything arrives in their brain visually in the form of text and numbers. Text is usually on the left and numbers on the right. Accounting is not dangerous therefore they typically do not process massive amounts of information the same way contractors do because they have no need to develop a heightened awareness of their surroundings.
