Managing Your QuickBooks to Chart Your Company's Crisis Recovery Some basic definitions Balance Sheet - Measures results at a point in time (What you own, what you owe & net worth) Profit and Loss/Income Statement – Measures results over a period of time Statement of Cash Flows - Tells you how much cash is entering and leaving your business Accrual Basis - Matches revenue and expense to the period they are incurred Cash Basis – Matches revenue and expense when they are received or paid 11

Managing Your QuickBooks to Chart Your Company's Crisis Recovery What does it mean to have “clean books”? Your Accounts Receivable Aging is accurate. Customer balances are true. Your Accounts Payable is accurate. Vendor payments are not duplicated. You can verify your assets including fixed asset accounts. Depreciation for fixed assets are not missing and are consistent. Vacation or PTO accruals are not missing or inaccurate. The only uncleared or unreconciled transactions are those waiting to clear the bank. You can proof liability balances with a credit card/loan statement and a promissory note. Non-cash expenses are accounted for. (Personal Contributions/Owner’s Draws) 12

Managing Your QuickBooks to Chart Your Company's Crisis Recovery What is the true health of your business? How much money is in the bank? Are there any outstanding checks that haven’t cleared? Is there any cash that is forecast to come in over the next week (are there any ARs being collected)? How much in AP (accounts payable) is due in the next week? 15

Managing Your QuickBooks to Chart Your Company's Crisis Recovery What is the true health of your business? Analyze your numbers What are your numbers telling you? For every 100 you bring in, how much are you using for COGS, Expenses, and overall Profit/Loss. (This will be like taking your temperature, blood pressure and weight at the doctor’s office) Act Fast What changes need to happen to improve or reduce profit/loss (When doctor’s check your temperature, they don’t just go “whoa, she has a 103o temperature” No they do something about it.) Act appropriately. Zero in on what will make a difference Although a lot of data need to be analyzed, focus on areas that will make your business move forward. What moves or investments will really make the difference? (Marketing, New Products, etc) Be Cautious of “Alarm” Fatigue If your numbers tell you something is wrong don’t ignore. We tend to do this to avoid the complexity of the situation, however taking care of items as soon as possible will allow for better business development and opportunity. 16
