Sales growth is wonderful, and what most of us like to see happening. But the real indicator to keep your eye on is profit. During growth periods, there are people coming and going on your payroll, new product lines, tools and computers bought, bigger offices, more phone lines, the list goes on and on. But the question remains – are you better off with or without the sales growth?
You don’t need to wait for your taxes to get done to answer this questions. By merging sales data with your profit and loss, you can look at income and expenses on a standardized per unit basis, allowing you to compare how things were to how things are. QuickBooks has a nifty export to Excel feature that make life much easier to make the calculations.
