You can only have one budget set up per fiscal year. It is more practical to set up budgets by customer/job if you only work on a few customers/jobs per year. You can set up a budget for the company as a whole, by customer/job, or by class. It’s easy to set up budgets in QuickBooks. You can do the same with increasing gross profit or decreasing expenses, whether it’s a specific expense or all expenses. At a glance of your monthly financial statement, you can tell if you are reaching that goal. Take into account slow periods and busy times. If you want to increase revenue by 10 percent for the year, you can take last year’s total revenue, increase that number by 10 percent and allocate it monthly in the manner that makes most sense to your business.
Budgets provide a picture of how well your company is meeting its goals for the year.
