Podcasts about company information

In this episode of the Employee Survival Guide Mark discusses what things you can take and not take with you after being laid off or terminated for cause.   There is a common misperception among employees about what exactly an employer owns. Mark explains that work for hire means anything you do for the employer belongs to the employer. Many employers make employees sign Nondisclosure and Confidential Agreements to protect company information.  Listen and find out the quick and easy answers to this very real and large problem many employees experience.  The most important item companies cannot control is each employee's individual intellectual property, i.e. their work experience and know how.

In today's episode of The DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Rusty Matveev, Chief Strategy Officer of Calaxy. Calaxy is The Open Social Marketplace For Creators, By Creators. With an array of both familiar and new application properties, a diverse group of creators offers much more direct and intimate experiences for fans that they all will come be able to use. By using Hedera Hashgraph, a blockchain alternative, Calaxy's in-app experience places today's fan at the epicenter of all the action, removing historical intermediaries. Calaxy features an interface to include a huge amount of features for fans to interact and engage right with their favorite Creators, such as video calls, and content subscription services. The first feature set includes what Calaxy Inc. and its First 100 Creators have decided to be a new industry standard. This enables the Calaxy App to become a “one-stop-shop” for various methods of interaction and monetization. Everyone on the Calaxy App is provided with a non-custodial Hedera account. Tehy pay fees in $HBAR when transacting in the application, as well as Calaxy Tokens ($CLXY), serving as the gas and the governance for the broader, permissionless Creator's Galaxy ecosystem. The Calaxy App allows for an easy-to-use port for the Creator's Galaxy, providing a diverse array of Creators including: celebrities, athletes, artists, and influencers to easily mint social tokens and non-fungible tokens, as well as to manage requests for their time. As we have seen with a multitude of various other efforts, such as Twitter's bluesky, or Mastodon, there is a defined trend in the social media industry towards a related, interoperable future, where posts flow seamlessly through third-party applications, giving users highly customizable experiences. In addition, with projects like Tim Berners-Lee's Solid, or technologies like the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin, Calaxy sees a future where users are the ones that own their own data. Furthermore, they can control over where their data is stored, or to easily export their content and followers to wherever they want to go to next. This then removes the vendor lock in and the limitations that are in the current web 2.0 social media giants. By making use of decentralized oracles, such as the Chainlink network, Calaxy has the opportunity to provide various degrees of independently verifiable and auditable off-chain options. Some examples of these features can include the option to represent how many followers a user has on social media at any time, or a branded aggregate algorithmically determined Creator Score.

In this episode of The DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Saro McKenna, Co-Founder and CEO of Alien Worlds. Alien Worlds is a Play and Earn Metaverse game, with Planet Decentralized Autonomous Organizations feature most of what happens in world. Alien Worlds is an NFT Metaverse where you can play with unique NFT digital items. Players stake Trilium to Planet DAOs to vote in the upcoming Planetary elections. This is also how to increase the Planet's reward pool. You can enter into weekly elections for council candidates, offer ideas on how to administer the planetary treasury, or even to run for planetary council yourself. You can pick NFT game cards for your strategy on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and WAX, to be used for mining, fighting, and missions. Lastly, teleportation TLM is how to bridge BSC, WAX, and Ethereum. Trilium is the cross chain ERC-20 / BEP-20 / WAX fungible token that connects Alien Worlds, permitting the transfer of value and voting in Planet DAOs. Users earn Trilium in the mining game and stake Trilium to a Planet DAO, allowing them to vote in that Planet's elections. To summarize the in game story, The Federation, the most advanced bitcoin mining company of the future, notes a pattern in its algorithmic solutions. An advanced alien race was sending messages through bitcoin mining algorithms. What the messages reveal is a wormhole to allow humans to travel to far flung exoPlanets. Alien Worlds is a decentralized metaverse running on the Ethereum, WAX and Binance Smart Chain blockchains. Trilium incentivizes users to play games and must be staked by users to partake in governance. Planets inside the metaverse are decentralized, autonomous organizations that gain daily Trilium from the central metaverse smart contracts. Planets are how the blockchain communities can get onto Alien Worlds, get their own token and DAO, present games and services into the ecosystem, and mint and use NFTs. Explorers become a voting member of a Planet once they are staking Trilium to that Planet. They can then stake Trilium to an infinite number of Planets. Upon the staking of Trilium to a particular Planet by sending Trilium to a contract address, the contract sends a token for that Planet back to the user. The Planet DAO's token has an equivalent quantity of Trilium staked. A Planetary DAO's tokens can be exchanged back 1:1 into Trilium at any time, by smart contract.

In today's episode of The DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Bryan Ritchie, the CEO of Simba Chain. Simba Chain allows you to make blockchain apps in a cloud environment without needing blockchain developers. SIMBA Chain lets you pick from 16 protocols and start making smart contracts with drag and drop tools. Simba Chain offers across the board privacy and security features that meet Government standards. The Department of Defense, the US Army and the US Navy all rely on us for secure, private blockchain solutions. Simba Chain is a chain free high-powered API system, using portable, flexible, and future-proof interfaces to smart contracts for designing trustless Web3 apps. The Simba Chain Platform auto-generates virtual REST APIs for smart contracts to easily integrate into clients' applications. Simba makes connecting to Blockchain as easy as MuleSoft does for enterprise systems, or as a Web API does for services or infrastructure. Simba offers a Smart Contract Designer (SCD) tool, allowing users to build smart contracts via a simple drag and drop UI. Users can stipulate data relationships of their digital assets and smart contracts, and the passage of said assets, even various versions of the smart contract, or allowing for the linking contracts on different chains together. Current supported chains are Ethereum, Quorum, Stellar, RSK, Binance, Avalanche, Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Burrow, and Hyperledger Sawtooth. SIMBA QuickStart auto-generates Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs allow for access to smart contract methods that interact on the blockchain ledger and provides admittance control groups for reading or writing. Each of the API endpoints permit multiple data files to be connected and stored off-chain in a data store. Data comes into the platform as multipart attachments to the REST endpoints. They are then checked for access before being sent to the data bundling system. The bundling algorithm holds all files and makes hashcodes for assemblage into a manifest file. This is stored in the data store, with the hashcode enchained on the blockchain to vouch for the wholeness of the data placed into the platform. Simba is decentralized. This means that there is no single point of control, thus there is no single point of failure. It is immutable, and once data is stored, it can't be tampered with, altered, or deleted. It is customizable, where you bring your own logic, and our platform auto-generates your custom API. Lastly, Simba has low latency, using Microsoft Azure Government for lightening transactions.

In today's episode of The DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Colin Foran, head of Game, and Naomi Lackaff, head of Partnerships for Shrapnel. Shrapnel is genuinely investing some of the most exhilarating pillars of utility that blockchain has to offer gaming – its center for game design innovates on contending game modes, and its digital economy will directly honor and enable the community. Shrapnel is a specialized team of designers, producers, artists, and programmers operating at the center of games, television, movies, and graphic novels. Collectively, the team behind Shrapnel has produced some of the largest franchises in entertainment, including HALO, Call of Duty, Westworld, and many more. The team behind Shrapnel has raised $10.5 million to build the blockchain-based first-person shooter game that will be a triple-A production. The round was led by Griffin Gaming Partners, along with Polychain Capital and Forte. In addition to funding, Forte is providing Shrapnel technical support to the project. Shrapnel will bring the highest production values to making a game with blockchain and technology. In market research, Shrapnel saw that players really want to own their own digital items. By tapping into partners' technical expertise, Shrapnel will bring to life a game and mod platform that has been under development for years. Shrapnel is a project of the Neon team, which has its own roots in HBO Interactive, having years of business experience in transmedia, virtual production, and gaming-as-a service. Neon's mission is to make the most riveting gaming experience in the crypto space to date. Crypto assets and bonus structures will virtually change how gamers play, with Shrapnel pushing the envelope with what's possible in the crypto gaming industry, incorporating the industry into a profound triple-A-style FPS experience. Why are NFTs in gaming are so important? Previously, the players never really owned what they bought. It's all secured inside the game. Surveys have indicated that players would be excited to own what they're buying outside of the game environment. Some of what is being worked on is offloading the difficult tasks so that players don't need to be concerned with issues like regulatory compliance or figuring out how to create crypto wallets. In addition, the idea is to create an extraction game that players can alter to their fullest desires. This platform will allow these users to build mods in order to create different versions of the game, with a range of blockchain and deep tech experts to support the architectural and design needs of Shrapnel.

In this podcast Meg speaks with Robbie McNeil, Service Owner of Get Company Information. They discuss how we maximise the value of the register to the UK economy. This is the fourth podcast in a six part series, each one discussing our strategic goals.   MH: Hello and welcome to another episode from Companies House. We have recently launched our new five-year strategy and one of our strategic goals is about how we maximise the value of the register to the UK economy. So, I'm here today with Robbie McNeil who is the service owner for ‘Get Company Information' at Companies House, and today Robbie is going to give us a bit of an insight into his work and how that runs through who we are and what we do. Hi Robbie. How are you?   RM: I am fine, thanks.   MH: Good. Excited to record this podcast today?   RM: Obviously, we all look forward to being on camera so much.   MH: Of course, of course. So, my first question to you is, can you tell me a little bit about your role and what it means to us as an organisation?   RM: Yeah, of course. So, as the service owner for ‘Get Company Information', probably the easiest way to explain it is if you think about the core duties of Companies House, so creating and dissolving companies by adding or removing them from the company register, collecting and maintaining information about those companies, and then that third strand of what we do is making that information available to the public and it's that third duty that the ‘Get Company Information' service exists to satisfy.   MH: Yeah. A pretty important job, then.     RM: It is, you know, especially in terms of our move to a service-based model. You know that's key to our transformation as an organisation. Moving from that sort of a functional silo based approach where people focused on just their part of the service to a wider service team that encompasses everybody from policy advisors who shape what it is we're here to do through the digital teams that design and build our services and to the operational teams that make those services work for our customers, all with a shared sense of purpose. Brilliant people building brilliant systems to deliver a brilliant service to our customers. So, it's really great to be a service owner and being brought back to the heart of that.   MH: Thank you. That's really good. And my next question is can you tell me a bit about the value of the data on our register?   RM: Yeah. One of the reasons why this particular service is so close to my heart, I think, when I first joined Companies House, which was a long time ago, and I'm not going to tell you the year; the then CEO used to meet every new recruit and his explanation of the deal that underpins Companies House has always stuck with me throughout my career and that that deal being that in exchange for the protection of limited liability, information about a company is made public so that people can make informed decisions about dealing with it. So, I've always remembered that. That making that information public has always been a key part of my understanding about what we're here to do. But that data itself is worth nothing, if it's not out there being used and so back in the day, when I first joined it was a relatively specialist thing to deal with company information. You had your search agents and they had actually set up offices in Crown Way or near our other offices just so they could come in and get the microfiche and read the microfiche and print bits out and so on. So, you know things have moved on hugely since then. As we've made our data available online and more recently available for free on our CHS service, we've really opened it up for people to use and seen a huge increase, you know orders of magnitude increase in terms of the people accessing the data. So, I think is over 9 billion searches last year, which is when you think the size of Companies House as an organisation to be satisfying that many searches for data in a year is just phenomenal. Punch well above our weight in terms of being a relatively small part of government. In terms of that value to the UK economy and the business activity that information informs as part of that transparency deal, an independent report recently valued it at between one to three billion pounds annually, which again is just when you think of the size of the organisation that we're making that big an impact, now I find that really exciting and you can be really proud of that as well.   MH: Yeah, definitely is. I can't believe we've actually how far we've come on when you said about the companies on Crown Way and come in and I'm interested to know what year you started in Companies House now.   RM: So, it was late 1980s. So, 88.   MH: Before I was born.   RM: Oh well you had to add that one in. Thank you. Before I was born people were working at Companies House now, I think.   MH: Yeah, so going forward, how will we be maximising the value of our registers?   RM: So, we've got a number of really exciting initiatives planned. I probably haven't got time to go through them all, but I'll try and give you a flavour of some of them. Some of them are happening right now really. So, we've recently developed enhancements to our award-winning streaming API service. So, streaming API service, which is first of its kind in government and that service allows our customers to some busy tapping to the stream of data and they can consume updates to the register in real time. So, as soon as we get it, it's streamed up there and they're getting those updates as well. So, we already had streams for changes to information on filing history of a company, company profile. So, basic company details. Insolvency information, and charges information. But we've developed two additional streams that they're in demand from our customers. So, officer and PSC (person of significant control) information. They're there. Ready to go. We're just finishing off some of the documentation around it to tell our customers how to interface with those streams and we hope to release those in the next few weeks. And that's not the end as far as that service goes either. So, over the next year, we're going to be developing data that takes snapshots for that streaming API service. So, at the moment if you tap into a stream, you can consume any changes from that point on. You can actually go back upstream a little way for about seven days and get the changes from the last seven days. But obviously what a lot of customers want is well, I want the whole data set and then be able to keep it updated. So, we will be adding data snapshots on to those streams. So, you can join the stream, go back upstream for the last snapshot, get that snapshot, so full dataset and then consume the changes from that point on and keep your own records of the data. So, that that's one exciting thing we're doing on that.   We're also looking at unlocking the value of the data stored in the images of filings on CHS. So, at the moment these are static pictures when you go into CHS and you see a PDF next to the transaction and say, oh I'll have a look at the actual filing. That's fine when we see it comes up because we're used to looking at pictures. We don't need necessarily think of it because it looks like text but is actually a static picture so included in just dots. Dots on a white background. So, people who rely on screen readers, blind people who rely on screen readers to read information, it's useless to them. So, their screen reader will say, “oh yeah you have got this transaction on file history or this there's an associated PDF. Would you like to read it? Yes, please. Yeah then says that contains a picture called image.” That's all they get.   MH: Oh.   RM: Yeah.   MH: So trying to make it more accessible.   RM: Make them fully accessible. It's also even for people who want to do analysis of the data on there as well. So, at the moment say it's a picture. It's dots, if you like, what we call a raster image. But by making it fully accessible data within a PDF, you can search for particular bits of text in the field, you can process the data automatically, you can analyse the data and so on. So, it really unlocks the potential of that information. So, we have a project currently ongoing, ‘the accessible filing data' project. Appropriately named. That's already, we've got a fully accessible versions of appointments and we're just finishing off incorporations. When we're happy with those, will release both those. We will probably have a pause then and then we look at future project phases to tackle all the other types of files we have and make those accessible as well. So, that's really exciting.   MH: Yeah, that's so exciting.   RM: We are adding more data all the time. So, we've recently added 1.9 million dissolved company records onto CHS. So now you got complete record all the way back to January 2010 and we're currently working on a dissolved company search tell by users identify older dissolve can be so pre-January 2010. And then we're we be taking in some of the plans we've got for that search functionality. We can then take some of that functionality and use that to improve our alphabet exert service. And we also have plans, and this is the bit that the really excites me because this is something I've been wanting to do on CHS as we first put it in years, like part of my original “wouldn't be great if we can do this” and that's to build and enhanced search and reporting service. So that will allow much more flexible search criteria. At the moment, our search isn't designed to allow people to identify a particular company. And you're limited in what you can search on, you can obviously search on the name and there's a few other things you can sort of tweak to try and get it, it's basically name search and number search. What will be having with enhanced search and reporting service is that you can, yes you can search on name, you can include and exclude parts of the name, so it's more flexible name searching. You can search on date ranges. Incorporated between these dates or dissolved between these dates. Location information, like you know, I'm interested in all the companies incorporated in 2015 in the Birmingham area or with this SIC code. So that they deal with education or industrial machinery or whatever. And you get sets of results that can then be exported. So, that to me this really opens up being able to get not just a particular company you may be searching for if you don't know for definite what its proper name is but also gain a set of companies that match criteria that you've put in. So, I'm really excited for that. We have got a working prototype and I love showing it off to people because I think that's what search should be. Yeah. Being able to put in your own criteria and say what I wanted to match these criteria and it gives you the answers.   MH: Yeah, definitely. It's more of an in-depth. It's just not what we've got at the moment and what would be great to have and it is, you know, maximising the value of our data, like we say.     RM: Things might be worth mentioning. So, certain copies. So, looking. That's a manual product at the moment. You know, we physically print out certificates and certified copies and we sign them, and we send them off in the post. So, we want to digitize that service and we're liaising with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office because they currently they “upper steel”. Which was a new term to me when I started looking at this.   They basically ratify. Yes. This is definitely, this one is definitely a genuine copy or genuine certificate. They upper steel our certs and copies. They're currently working on digitizing their upper steeling service. So, it's a really good time for us to be looking at digitising the certs and copy service at the same time and work with them on that. And we're always looking at ways to more effectively share our data and work more closely with other government departments. So, that's great. Let's say, that's the flavour. There are other things we're looking at as well. But it you know, it's all really excited. You know we punch so above our weight and there's even more we can do with the service, which is great.   MH: Yeah. It's so exciting and it's actually obviously it's interesting for all the people who are going to be listening but it's interesting for me because it's almost like I don't know all the stuff that's going on and all the cogs that are turn in that people don't see. So, it's really interesting to hear all that. Thank you. So, my next question and my last question is what have you learned about yourself this year or I should probably say last year. Well, let's say in the past year in a personal or professional capacity or both.   RM: I think probably the painful lessons being, you know, I can't do it all. There has been been so much to do and so many things I want to do. It's been hard not to get overwhelmed and frustrated when you can't take things forward as quickly as you'd like. But I've got a great team around me and yeah, I'm learning to try and let them run with things and not be such a control freak. So, in get stuff done, you know trying to empower the team. You know, they know what our vision is, to empower them to run with it as well. So, things aren't held up waiting for me to look at it or read when I'm busy doing other things as well. So that's one: letting go. And then that's like, I love my team and trust my team; I'm just so interested in the stuff that I find it really hard to let it go. So that's been, I can't say that I've learned that, I've learned the necessity of that and I'm trying to learn to do it. MH: I think what a lovely position to be in though. Like, you love your job, you want to be involved and you've also got a team that you trust and are doing a great job as well.   RM: Yeah. Oh, no, it is it's great. And I'm really enjoying the work so and loving being a service owner. Really enjoying it. With that frustration of there is so much we want to do, and you sort of want to do a straight away, you can't do it all.     MH: Can I ask how long have you been in the role that you are in now?   RM: So just over a year.   MH: Okay, cool.   RM: So, and I guess so, you asked about personal capacity as well. So, what I have learned since working from home actually over the last almost year is, I don't have the willpower to train when I haven't got a fully equipped gym on site. Yeah, it's tough to walk past the gym on the way home. So, it was like kind of hard not to go in and walking past it. I really should go in and do something. I haven't had the mental will power to exercise since lockdown until recently. So, I have finally found an exercise. I hated training as well. So, that didn't help/   MH: Yeah, I hate exercising.   RM: But I found skipping or jump rope as our American colleagues call us. Mainly attracts me because you can do it indoors, which is great, especially with the weather we have been having. And B, 10 minutes is equivalent to a 5K run which is what I used to do in the gym. So, now I can get my training done in 10 minutes which is and get all my stuff. I actually enjoy and find more interesting. So, if you're looking for something to do between meetings, you know, I got my skipping ropes just for there. So, you know grab a skipping rope.   MH: You know what, I think I'm going to come off here, go on Amazon and order one. Because I have actually been thinking about it, but now I've heard you say that. I think I'll be sold.   RM: I'm a rubbish skipper mind because it started not being able to skip at all. So uncoordinated and I still get myself into a tangle, but you can get yourself puffed out very quickly. And you know, that's my thing is that they raise the heartbeat. So, yeah. No, I do recommend it but I don't recommend watching me do it.   MH: Sorry. If you can hear my dog barking there. She's being naughty at the postman. Thank you so much, Robbie. You've given great answers. I've learned a lot. So good to have an insight into you know areas and things that I just wouldn't know about without having conversations like this. So, thank you so much and thank you to everybody who's listened.

Tim Bucher, executive vice president and chief product officer at Scienctific Games, gives the keynote address at the UC Davis School of Education commencement ceremony, June 17, 2018.2018-06-17_COMM_Eng-Tim-Bucher

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0236, And It Will Be About Highly Profitable Contractors Control Who Receives Company Information   You Have Ultimate Control On Who Has Or Receives Information About Your Contracting Company Financials statements are based on the information you provided. I know this is not a statement that any contractor wants to hear about their bookkeeping. It is easier to blame the bookkeeper for missing information. The primary keeper of all the documents is you, your spouse, your employees, your suppliers, your bank, your credit card company. The Key work is done by you, or whoever assists you have the power to give information to outsiders about your Construction Company.   Who wants details about your business?   Internal Revenue Service State Revenue Agencies State Payroll Agencies Other State Agencies Worker’s Compensation Provider   General Liability Insurance Provider Depending on the report it may be monthly (sales tax, business excise tax, other state business tax reports) Quarterly reports include all payroll related forms to State and Federal (Internal Revenue). Personal story. If you have any data that you can include relating to your list, include that in your introduction, too./> Some states require Contactors to take a test before receiving Contractors License Depending on your state a Contractor may have to be licensed which can require a Bond and General Liability Insurance. Because the General Liability Insurance is made up of a group of numbers to make up the coverage and premium, there is usually an annual General Liability Insurance Audit and are date specific based on when the coverage was taken out. Your Construction Company Structure determines how simple or how complicated the annual insurance audit it. We can help you with this. Call Sharie 206-361-3950 or email her sharie@fasteasyaccounting.com Insurance Audit Questions May Include: Annual sales Owners wages List of employees Employee wages Copies of 941 Quarterly Reports Copies of State Unemployment Reports List of subcontractors Total paid to subcontractor Copies of Subcontractor’s Certificate of Insurance List of names of casual labor Total paid to each casual labor The total amount of Leased or Rented Equipment.   Periodically Your State Unemployment Agency will want details on individual employee’s hours. Form to be filled out is date and period specific and will want the total per week (regular time and overtime) then broken down by day and a weekly total of wages earned, and date wages were paid. In other words; the State Agency is asking for more in more detail to be sure they get the same grand total as other reports and did you pay the proper amount in the time frame required.   Some states and cities have different minimum wage requirements this adds to the tracking required.   In Washington State, we have a state minimum wage, and then several individual cities have an increased minimum wage. In addition to new rules about Family Leave, Sick Leave, and Personal Time Off. Many of these rules are based on the number of employees you have.   Internal Revenue Service Requires You File Annual 1040 Tax Return. Most contractors file their taxes on a calendar year. S-Corps and LLC’s treated as S-Corps annual tax return is due on March 15th with a six-month extension allowed to September 15th.   Numbers From Your Contracting Company Return Move To Your Personal 1040 Tax Return. Personal tax returns with or without Schedule C (additional pages for Sole Prop’s and LLC’s treated as a Sole Prop) are due on April 15th with a six-month extension allowed to October 15th. Reminder the tax return is due in a couple of weeks.   There are many reasons why taxes are not ready for the tax accountant to do the annual taxes. Contractors may feel that they can do it themselves using tax software. My recommendation is to use a Tax Accountant. Laws change all of the time. Assume that every time Congress meets they have done something. Since the average person is too busy and has no way of knowing what amendments are added to any given bill may impact the tax code having a tax accountant is a cost and time effective solution. Tax Accountants Are “Generalists.” What do I mean by “Generalist”? To stay in business, tax accountants have more clients than just contractors. Tax Accountants have to keep on top of all the tax changes that impact all of their clients. Reality is, the tax accountant is more concerned about your bottom line and how it impacts the rest of your life and taxes, not your job costing reports.     Does your spouse work, what and where are all the W-2, interest income, dividend income, health insurance, children, your house, mortgage, property taxes and what other misc. Expenses that might be deductible? Many tax accountants send a packet for their clients to fill out and bring with documents. When a Construction Contractor drops off a box of receipts and bank statements to the tax accountant the Construction Contractor asks: How am I doing? What about [fill in the blank]? Did I make any money on “xyz job”? Tell me about how to improve my business? The tax accountant is going to roll their eyes and seems less than helpful or incompetent. They are not! Knowing about the individual details of Construction Accounting and Job Costing is not a normal skillset of the tax accountant. Depending on the size of the pile to manage whether a tax accountant will use Excel and a Workaround to file the Construction Contractor’s taxes or send you to a bookkeeper to do it.     Our focus is on helping you survive and thrive. When we ask you for documents, it is part of our Contractors Bookkeeping Services System. We have a process where we will do a gentle follow-up. Sometimes the greatest most effective follow-up is done by the State Agencies who want specific reports which when they are not filed promptly will incur late fees and penalties or cancellations. They will call, send certified letters, issue Warrants on Bank Accounts and file Tax Liens all to receive money owed to a government agency. Not someone you want to have your number on speed dial. It is one thing if the over site is lack of money, and another if it is bad paperwork.     Job Costing Is Only Possible when you, the Contractor have put the job name on the receipts, checks and other paperwork directly related to each job. It is unreasonable to expect any bookkeeper to guess which job the costs should be assigned to or interrupt your already busy day with several phone calls to ask for information about a receipt, bill or other paperwork. One Process In Our Bookkeeping System Is "OHIO" Only Handle It Once Proactively writing on the receipt, giving the customer name and address in the Purchase Order field at the supplier will make the bookkeeping process easier on everyone and more importantly it will be the foundation to providing you with Job Costing Reports to help you identify the 20% of jobs and customers that generate 80% of your Cash Flow and Profit. How To Combine The 80/20 Rule With Business Process Management For Your Construction Company The 80-20 Rule Combined With Business Process Management Can Improve Your Life In Ways You Never Dreamed Possible! 20% Of The Construction Companies - Share the Top 80% of the profits which the owners and shareholders use to support lavish lifestyles because they know what to do, when to do it and how to do it! 80% Of The Construction Companies - Share the Bottom 20% of the profits which the owners and shareholders use to support just above or just below average lifestyles because they don't know what to do when to do it or how to do it! Not every Construction Contractor wants to put in the effort for Job Costing, and that is OK. It is Good, Better and Best in all things including Construction Accounting. With processes, every contractor will get value out of their bookkeeping no matter what level of service they require to fit their needs. The most basic accounting provides a Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet on demand for their Tax Accountant to file the taxes. Add personal documents, and the Tax Accountant knows what to do. Basic Construction Bookkeeping is more than hooking up your bank feeds to an Accounting Software and let the software decide what to do with the transactions. All good bookkeeping even for the smallest Construction Contractor is more than balancing your checkbook. Good Construction Accounting provides answers for Construction Contractors from the Brand New Contractor, Handyman, Trade Contractor, General Contractor. Construction Accountants know what to do when they receive the documents. Of course, you need to talk your prospective Construction Accountant and make sure they know Construction Accounting; then decide if it is a good fit for your needs. One example in Construction Accounting there is a difference between Spec and Custom Home. General Contractors sometimes get confused on which they are building as both are the construction of a new home. Construction Accountants are never confused as the accounting is different. In Washington State, it is a huge difference because of the rules about sales tax. When a contractor must charge sales tax on their invoice or if they accept a resale certificate. All retail sales to homeowners and Spec Builders are subject to sales tax. Years Ago My Mentor Told Me: “Little Leaks Sink A Big Ship" Four Leaks That Bankrupt Construction Contractors Not charging and collecting Sales Tax is a 10% leak.   Not Charging and collecting for Change Orders could be a bigger leak.   Improperly applying payments (where it appears as a credit in QuickBooks) is another leak.   With enough leaks, there is no money left for the fun stuff you want to do in your life. Change is easier when doing one little thing, then another, then another. Trying to change everything all at once is overwhelming. Many times change easier for a smaller company because they are small.     Number one question from smaller contractors is “I am just me, or it is just me, and I only have one or two employees” Am I too small to help and use the services of a Contraction Bookkeeper? My Answer: A Company of One – is not too small! The Company of One with Dog and Pickup Truck is not too small. Construction Contractor without any employees is not too small. Construction Contractor with less than five employees is not too small. Construction Contractor with more than 15-20 employees may be too big to not have an in-house admin   From Brand New Contractor, Weekend Warrior, Handyman, Trade Contractor to General Contractor with or without employees we are here to help.        About The Author: https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/free-one-hour-consultation-bookkeeping Sharie DeHart, QPA is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood Washington.
