You know that financial reports can be extremely valuable tools for building + operating a profitable food business.
But, be HONEST….
When you review your P+L Report do you think…
...What does it all mean?
...Is this SUPPOSED to be helpful?
...Do I not know how to read my P+L?!
Here’s the truth: It’s not you! It’s your financial reports.
Most business owners are working with very BASIC financial reports that don’t serve their needs, aren’t helpful in understanding their business, and worst of all, may actually be misleading!
⠀
The good news is that you have a say in what your financial reports look like.
When your reports are designed for YOUR business and are working FOR YOU, you can count on them to show you how your business is performing, set meaningful goals + get to work on building a profitable business!
Here are 3 Signs that Your P+L Report is in Need of a Revamp:
All of your sales are lumped into one line item ... and you have more than one revenue stream⠀
All of your Cost of Goods Sold are lumped into a single line item called “Cost of Goods Sold”
Your Expenses are listed in Alphabetical Order⠀
