     – especially about job and product costs

Lack of access to critical operating information can cost your manufacturing business hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue and excess job costs.  We'll help you learn to use the power of QuickBooks (or Intuit Enterprise Solutions) to control and enhance your custom manufacturing processes. 

 

As a mid-market manufacturer, you need to constantly track and monitor for:
  • Cash flow issues including payroll, significant inventories, special order products, and technology or production equipment needs.
  • Price volatility on products you purchase and use.
  • Inconsistent sales and increasingly cost-effective competition.
  • Production errors and time and cost over-runs.
  • Thin gross profit margins.

At Info Plus, we help you minimize risk and maximize profit with Intuit's specially designed version of QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise Solutions accounting software for manufacturers. Depending on your situation, we begin with an assessment of which QuickBooks package best matches your current and future needs and whether you should also consider third-party products to supplement any specialized needs. 

We then help job shop and custom manufacturing companies learn to effectively use QuickBooks to track, record, and manage functions such as:

  • Estimating costs for custom jobs and creating customer quotes.
  • Creating Sales Orders and completing the order fulfillment process.
  • Creating a Bill of Materials (BOM) for custom jobs.
  • Controlling job costs and supplier quality with Purchase Orders.
  • Job_Shop_Accounting_with_QuickBooks_3944808_blogAccounting for inventory or special orders.
  • Creating assemblies and sub-assemblies in QuickBooks.
  • Receiving purchases and entering bills.
  • Computing and assigning burdened employee costs
         (e.g., design & production) to jobs.
  • Shipping completed made-to-order jobs.
  • Making work-in-process cost adjustments.
  • Tracking installation, support and warranty for individual jobs.
  • Tracking fixed asset acquisitions and improvements.
  • Producing job cost and time reports (estimated vs. actual reports).
  • Preparing internal management reports and company financial reports.
