Why Your Need To Know Your Numbers When Developing Your Marketing Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

When measuring the success of a marketing plan a lot of business owners make the mistake of only focusing on website views, social media likes, and new leads. Don’t get us wrong, these key performance indicators (KPI’s) should be measured and reviewed regularly BUT to ensure that you are heading in a truly profitable direction you need to take your marketing and sales planning a step further. Talk to your bookkeeper or accountant to figure out how to accurately measure the following data so that you can use it to drive your marketing strategy.

1) Measure The Net Revenue Of Target Audience

Knowing the net revenue of each client will help you accurately determine who your most profitable clients are, which clients (if any) are costing your business money, and who you should be targeting with your marketing and sales efforts. It’s easy to make assumptions when it comes to client profitability and use these assumptions to drive your sales and marketing efforts.

For example: Henry owns a construction company with 3 key target audiences – New developments, luxury home renovations, luxury home builds. He made the assumption that new developments are his ideal target audience as they are long-term contracts, their invoices run into the millions and they allow him to build and maintain a large team. Reviewing his true net revenue by target audience revealed that after labour costs, overtime, materials, project management costs, accounting, office management, legal fees and delays that this target audience wasn’t as profitable as he originally thought and that his renovation clients were actually more profitable on average.  

While there may be times when your assumptions are correct we always suggest trusting your numbers rather than your gut when making strategic marketing decisions.

2) Know Your Client Acquisition Costs  

How do you find your clients? What is your cost of advertising to each target audience? How many hours a week do you spend on marketing and sales? How long is your sales cycle? How much time does each marketing activity take? These are all questions you need to know the answers to so you can determine which clients are worth pursuing and which marketing efforts are the best ones for obtaining them.

For example:  Sally owns a yoga studio and to attract her ideal client she advertises on Instagram & Facebook, writes one blog a week and spends 2 hours a week networking. On average Sally brings in 6 new clients a week who purchase the introductory class offer which is $40 for the month. Out of the 26 new clients per month, only 5 continue on as annual members after the intro offer expires.

When Sally breaks down her time and costs and income it looks like this:

Social Media Advertising – $600 per month – Brings in 15 clients per month = $40 per lead

Writing a weekly blog – 10 hours per month x Sally’s rate of $60 per hour = $600 – Brings in 3 clients a month = $200 per lead

2 Hours of Networking – 8 hours per month x Sally’s rate of $60 per hour = $480 – brings in 8 clients a month = $80 per lead

Total marketing = $1680 per month

Total income from the months marketing efforts = $1040 for month one, $600 for month two

So for each month of marketing, it takes 2 months for the efforts to break even and the average cost per new lead acquisition is $65.

Sally dives deeper and realizes that the clients who are most likely to continue after the introductory offer are women in their 40’s who have back issues that she targets through her Facebook advertising and people she has built a personal connection with through networking.

Looking at the numbers Sally determines that writing her blog isn’t worth her time and puts that money into social media advertising. She spends more money targeting the demographic that is most likely to continue on an annual membership and as a result, triples her monthly leads. Her cost per lead is reduced significantly, her revenue has increased and she has saved herself 10 hours a month of writing tasks.

Without diving deeply into your marketing efforts and measuring the ROI of each effort you won’t be able to streamline and improve your marketing strategy and long term revenue.

3) Know Your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)

It’s widely known thanks to Pareto principle that 20% of your customers generate 80% of your revenue. This is why knowing your CLV is so important. This metric is an easy calculation and essential number to know when reviewing your retention strategy and determining your future target audiences.

To calculate the lifetime value of a client simply add up the gross profit they have brought to your business over the course of their time as a client. In addition, it’s beneficial to note the length of time they have worked with/ purchased from you and if known how they found your business.

You can use this information to create target audience personas that are based on your most profitable clients for marketing purposes, to help with the creation of client appreciation campaigns, account development, and retention plans and to predict your future revenue.

For Example:

Jennifer owns an e-commerce business and spends a lot of money marketing her products on social media to attract new clients. Once Jennifer started measuring her CVL as a key metric she was able to determine which campaigns were the most profitable long-term, cut the campaigns that were only bringing in one-off clients and build stronger nurturing and retention campaigns to keep customers who were loyal to her store coming back, increasing her overall revenue.

In this new era of online marketing what was once thought of as a creative, whimsical industry filled with fun swag and events has turned into a data-driven almost scientific one that relies heavily on the bookkeeping and accounting industry.

To ensure that your small business continues to grow successfully you need to make sure you talk to your bookkeeper or accountant to solidify that your growth strategy makes sense and that your marketing spend is bringing you the right ROI.

To Expand Or Not To Expand? – Determining Your Cost : Benefit Ratio

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Your mother clearly dropped you on your head as a child and as a result, you decided that you wanted to be an entrepreneur when you grew up. You took the leap and low and behold the crazy idea you had actually worked out and business is going great but you are at a tipping point where you either need to expand or start turning away business. Sound familiar?

While it’s always tempting to keep welcoming growth and leap into the opportunity to expand it’s not an easy black and white decision. You need to be strategic and know your cost to benefit ratio to ensure the decision to expand will actually be good for your business and not harm your bottom line long term.

Here are 5 things you need to consider when determining if taking the leap makes sense

Can you afford it?

This may seem like an obvious question that is easy to answer but it’s not as simple as it sounds. An expansion, whether it’s of a physical space (ie: retail location) or simply bringing on new team members to manage demand is a money sucker in the beginning.

You need to make sure you can afford any closures, renovation, and new inventory costs as well as any hiring and training costs in addition to your regular operational expenses.

Ideally, you want to have this money saved and only finance the expansion after discussing your numbers in detail with your accountant to confirm the additional costs make sense.

Know Your Break-Even Time Frame

How long will it take you to make back the money you spent on expanding? In most cases, expansions don’t happen overnight and increased profits aren’t guaranteed as soon as you open your new door. You need to know how long it will take for you to break even after an expansion so that you can ensure you have enough money saved to cover your increase in ongoing costs in advance.

Know Your Numbers

We say this in every post for a reason – because it’s essential if you want to grow a strong, profitable business and make smart, strategic decisions.  

Without knowing your numbers you can’t accurately and successfully plan an expansion. You need to understand your cash flow projections so that you can create a financial plan designed to help you survive your worst case scenario and a marketing plan to achieve your best case scenario.

Understand Your Target Audience

Don’t rush into an expansion simply because you experience a burst of requests and it feels like demand is there. Research your target audience thoroughly and ensure that the demand is real and ongoing. You may discover that demand is seasonal, much smaller than you anticipated or can be addressed with some extended hours or a few special order requests.  

Making the decision to expand isn’t going to be easy but completing a thorough analysis of the costs, benefits, and demand will ensure that when you make the decision it’s strategic and optimized for success.

Tax Tips For BC Yoga Studios

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

It’s safe to assume that Vancouverites LOVE their Yoga. There is no shortage of studios in this city and a most of the time they are filled to the brim with people gaining strength and learning to control their breath. Even though we have a large community of Yoga lovers in the city you can’t ignore the fact that competition is fierce and if you want to remain in the game you have to stay innovative and manage your business well.

Here are our top tips for staying zen and remaining profitable

Outsource Your Payroll  

I know that it seems like we are trying to trick you because we are a bookkeeping company but we can confidently say even if we were in the jump rope industry this would be our advice.

Many studios make the mistake of getting the reception team to take care of duties such as payroll and bookkeeping. Your reception teams number one focus should be providing exceptional customer service so that your customers have a great experience.

Constant distractions and inexperience can lead to costly mistakes by creating the ideal environment for data entry errors. By outsourcing your payroll to a reputable provider you can ensure that you are deducting the correct amounts from your employees AND remitting the correct amounts to the government.

Reputable providers take responsibility for any errors and therefore are much more thorough with their entries. They also know the tax laws inside and out, protecting you from unnecessary penalties.

Ensure Your Sales Are Recorded Correctly

This may seem like an obvious simple step but you would be surprised how often businesses set up their sales software and tax amounts incorrectly. Ensure that all your sales (from all sources) are recorded in Mindbody (or whatever software you are using) correctly. Have a professional double check your set up to ensure that you are charging the correct taxes and that the money that goes into your bank is properly recorded as income.

The last thing you want to do is discover after several months of taking payments that you aren’t charging your clients correctly or recording your payments effectively. This can lead to significant losses, especially if you end up having to pay additional taxes from your own pocket.

Pay Your Taxes On Time

One of the easiest ways to avoid unnecessary expenses is to pay your bills on time, taxes included. Ensure that all your PST/GST returns and payroll taxes are filed and paid on time to avoid late filing penalties. If you find deadlines difficult to manage in-house then hire a professional bookkeeper to manage this element of your business. The CRA won’t tell you if you’re early or have overpaid but they will be quick to seriously penalize you for being late.

Save Your Pennies

Businesses tend to ebb and flow. Make sure you have a clear understanding of your fixed costs and create and maintain a monthly cash flow budget so that you can avoid stress during slower periods.

In addition to offering your services create passive income when possible, rent out your space to other professionals and community groups during your down times to maintain your income.

During our time offering bookkeeping services to Yoga studios around Vancouver, we have seen all the common mistakes that Yoga studios make and the great ideas that work. If you have a yoga business and need help with your bookkeeping don’t hesitate to contact us today.

Canada Day: Stat holiday pay. Are you eligible?

/in /by
Vancouver Bookkeeper(s), Quickbooks, stat holiday pay, stat pay, holiday pay, Tax Return Service Vancouver, Small Business Bookkeepers in Vancouver, Canada Day, Happy Canada Day

And it smells groovy….

Fireworks, road trips, bubbles, smiles and fun. The long weekend is almost upon us with Canada Day celebrations at every corner.

So before you lock up the office to celebrate Canada’s big 150th this long weekend let’s figure out if you are eligible for statutory holiday pay.

In B.C., an employee is eligible if they’ve been employed for 30 calendar days before the stat holiday and have worked or earned wages on 15 of those 30 days. So if your employee, Susie, began work on June 1st and has worked 15 days since June 1st, she gets paid for Canada Day, whether she works on Canada Day or not.

Eligibility is determined by days worked, rather than hours, meaning it applies to both full-time and part-time employees, although the 15-day stipulation rules out most part-time employees.

At Homeroom, if we’re taking care of your payroll, it’s up to you to tell us which employees are eligible or not. This policy might vary from bookkeeper to bookkeeper, so make sure you know!

If you’re taking care of it yourself, here’s how you’d figure out Susie’s stat pay for Canada Day. Take the total hours she worked in the 30 days before the stat holiday and divide it by the number of days worked, then multiply by her rate of pay. Let’s say Susie worked 60 hours in 16 days and earns $25 per hour, she would be paid $93.75 on Canada Day (60/16 x 25 = 93.75).

Now let’s say that Susie is a keener and she agrees to work on Canada Day. Eligible employees are paid time-and-a-half for the first 12 hours on a stat holiday. This is in addition to the stat pay that we calculated in the previous paragraph.

However, all this changes if your employee worked less than 15 days since June 1st. In that case, they’re not eligible for stat holiday pay and if they work a stat holiday, they’re paid as if it were a regular work day.

In B.C., there are 10 stat holidays: New Years Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, B.C. Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, and Christmas Day. As an employer, you can choose to give more, such as, Easter Monday or Boxing Day, and can work out a custom agreement with your employees for these days.

“Bummer, I owe the CRA money! How do I pay them?”

Whether you have taxes owing for this year or you are a business owner who needs to settle a debt, handle it like a boss and pay the CRA to avoid late fees and any legal trouble.

Here are some ways you can pay the CRA, whether you are an individual or a business:

Online (Recommended)

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is getting hip by being down with the online payment world!

The CRA prefers to receive electronic payments. It’s fast and easy! You can do it two ways:

  • Make a payment using your financial institution’s online banking services:

    • Sign in to your financial institution’s online banking service (RBC Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, Vancity, etc). Bank with another financial institution? See the complete list of banks that can be used on the My Payment service here.
    • Under “Add a payee,” look for an option such as: CRA (revenue)-current year-tax return. CRA (revenue)-tax amount owing. CRA (revenue)-tax installment.
    • See other available options under “Add a payee” that are not listed above here.
    • Business: Specify payroll, GST, Corporate Tax
    • The account number for personal: SIN number
    • The account number for business: Business number

Offline payment methods:

Remeber these ones take more time so be sure to give yourself a head start if you want to avoid late payment penalties.

  • In-person (at the bank): You cannot walk into the bank to pay without the remittance voucher. The CRA does not mail them our anymore to encourage people to take advantage of their speedy, secure online payment option.
    • We can provide all our existing clients with a remittance voucher for their personal taxes which they need to take to their financial institution to pay.
  • Photocopy an old remittance voucher that you have, or call the CRA and request the mail one to you. Just know the process takes more than 10 business days, and that might cause you incur late penalties.
  • Mail a personal cheque: In the memo, indicate account number (SIN for personal or business number for self-employed).  Attach a letter to let CRA know what you are paying.

For information about your account balance and payments, including installments, see My Business Account.

When completing your return, you may calculate a balance owing on line 485. Your balance is due no later than April 30, 2018. When a due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a holiday recognized by the CRA, your payment will be considered on time if the CRA receives it or it is postmarked on the next business day.

Generally, if this amount is $2 or less, you do not have to make a payment.

If you owe tax for this current tax year, and you file your return after the filing due date, the CRA will charge a late-filing penalty.

They start charging compound daily interest on any outstanding balance starting May 1, 2018, until you pay it in full.

If you can’t pay the full amount you owe, take action right away and call the CRA arrange a payment plan.

For a full list of payment options, go here.

Save money on your bookkeeping, Wonder Woman-style!

/in /by

Wonder Woman Super Hero Vancouver

When you are juggling a small business or startup…. every penny counts.

Here are our top four tips for saving money on you  bookkeeping:

 

1. Organize your receipts

Keeping your receipts well organized can sometimes be difficult when you are busy running your business. As bookkeepers we are never surprised when a new client brings in bags or boxes of mangled receipts. However, if you are looking to make your bookkeeping as cost effective as possible then the easiest way to save money is to make sure your receipts are well organized so that the bookkeeper does not have to sort them for you.

In addition to sorting them, make sure they aren’t scrunched up into little balls. You may laugh but a lot of people do this and it takes a lot of time to un-scrunch them. Additionally scrunching them up can cause the ink to wear off which means that you are paying us to un-scrunch receipts that turn out to be blank pieces of paper.

Also if you want to claim the GST you paid on a meal as well as the tip (in addition to cutting down the amount of time we spend entering your data) make sure you staple together the original itemized restaurant bill to your credit/debit slip.

Sole Proprietors:

A common mistake a lot of first-timers make is arranging their receipts by month instead of by category.

The fastest way for your bookkeeper to enter your bills into Quickbooks is if they are sorted by category. If you want to go one step further and really limit the amount of time a bookkeeper spends on your file, organize your receipts by category AND company eg. Under transport put all your Translink receipts together.

Corporations:

If you are incorporated then you need to organize your receipts by payment method (eg. Visa account, cash, business savings account) rather than by category so that it makes it faster for your bookkeeper to enter your bills and reconcile your accounts.

2. Keep your receipts/documents in one place

Create a filing system for your receipts/ documents and utilize that system so that you can ensure all paperwork is easily accessible.

Keeping your receipts all over the place can result in two issues.

  1. You will lose some receipts. This means your reporting will be inaccurate and you may miss out on including significant write-offs in your tax return.
  2. You will need to keep contacting your bookkeeper to let them know about additional receipts you have found or to ask them to hunt down important documents for you. This means that you will utilize more of their time and your fees will increase.

3. Save your online receipts to a flash drive, or upload them to LedgerDocs

These days a lot of businesses send email receipts. Although you have the option to forward all of your email receipts to your bookkeeper we recommend that you download your invoices and save them onto a flash drive that you can submit with your paperwork. This saves your bookkeeper time as they do not have to sort through all of your emails, in turn saving you money.

It also means that if your email crashes you have all of your important documents saved elsewhere.

If you’re using LedgerDocs, snap pictures of your receipts and forward them to your unique email address in real time. We’ll take care of the rest! Contact us here if you are interested in signing up!

4. Don’t keep receipts you can’t claim

Know what you can and cannot claim and know your categories. For example: in most cases YOU CANNOT CLAIM CLOTHES as an expense unless they are branded with the company logo or required safety wear.

Additionally, you cannot claim haircuts, facials or any other kind of personal maintenance even if you are a TV personality or the face of your company.

Placing receipts into your file that you can’t claim just means that your bookkeeper spends extra time sorting through receipts, remember time is money.

 

Regardless of what state your bookkeeping is in we are happy to help you. That said, we always recommend that you consider these points because it not only helps you save money it keeps your bookkeeper happy and guarantees that you will be added to their secret list of favorite clients.

Summer weather is a slowly-fading memory. Your bookkeeping needs some TLC. Spidey senses tingling…..

Look at your pile of receipts grinning sheepishly at you from across the room. Do you spend hours staring at them and envision turning that pile into a neat, categorized pile of receipts that are arranged into a filing system that your bookkeeper will love?

Has it possibly been months and the pile is still there? It’s time to let go of the dream of doing it yourself and bring them to us, your cool and keen Bookkeeping Super Heroes!

Slay your bookkeeping this fall (before the holiday craze kicks in November), and be ahead of the ball for tax season.

Whether you’re a small business owner or an awesome human living your life, here are three tips on how to catch up and stay organized, from Homeroom’s very own superhero Allysia Lewis, the Number Cruncher:

Allysia-

  1. If you are NOT already utilizing the fabulous LedgerDocs to take care of all your receipts digitally and you feel like you’re living inside of a bill blowing booth, do this: Buy an awesome folder. That is, anything to hold all your documents neatly together. Preferably, with separators/ pockets. The Number cruncher recommends you hit up Dollar Store, Staples, London Drugs or Walmart.
  2. Collect ALL your documents (expenses, sales, bank, and credit card statements). Look HARD in all the nooks and crannies to ensure no scrunched up bills welcome in the New Year in between your car seat. Your tax preparer will not want late receipts once your tax return is in progress or has been finalized.
    1. IMPORTANT: Small business owners: Separate your business expenses from your personal expenses. 
  3. Organize all your receipts by category: Meals. Utilities, Auto (Gas, Repairs, Parking), Office Expenses, etc.

We file tax returns for self-employed and employed individuals! We might have the power to revive even the sloppiest bookkeeping, file 12 years worth of tax returns, but you will save money by following the steps above, and help yourself stay up to date with your bookkeeping! The true power lies in you!

Employee or Contractor: CRA checklist

/in /by


Vancouver Bookkeeper(s), Tax Return Service Vancouver, Small Business Bookkeepers in Vancouver, CRA, Canada Revenue Agency, employment, employee, contractor, long weekend

Looking to hire additional help for your expanding business? Last week, we outlined key questions to ask yourself before expanding your sales force.

We noted that deciding between hiring a contractor or an employee is not as simple as figuring out your personal preference.  The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has a very comprehensive checklist that they use to determine if you should be paying your new hire as an employee or if it is OK to consider them a contractor.

This week, we are going over the checklist presented by the CRA  in more detail so that you can make sure you are paying people under the correct category to avoid nasty fines.

Tip: If you own a store or run an office and you don’t want to hire a contractor through a temporary  employment agency then you need to hire an employee and pay the applicable payroll taxes.

Determine who has control

Do you want to have control over the worker? Will you determine when, how and where the work will be completed? Do you expect them to complete the work personally?

According the CRA ‘It is the right of the payer to exercise control that is relevant, NOT whether the payer actually exercises this right’ so basically, if you have the option in any way, shape or form to control the employee’s time and how they complete the work then they are not considered a contractor.

Tools & Equipment

Who provides the tools and the equipment to complete the job?

If you provide your new hire with the tools and equipment they need to complete the job and are responsible for all repairs to that equipment then you need to hire an employee.

Subcontracting Work or Hiring an Assistant

Can the person who is working for you independently hire an assistant or subcontract out the work you have asked them to do?

 If the answer is no, then as you may be assuming by now, you have yourself an employee.

Financial Risk

 Will the worker be financially liable if they do not fulfill the contract? Does the worker actively market themselves? Does the worker perform a substantial amount of the work from their own workspace? Are they responsible for paying their own employees?

If you answered YES to these questions then you may be able to categorize your worker as a sub-contractor, if you answered NO then you guess it, you need to pay them as an employee.

Responsibility for Investment and Management

Does the worker have any capital invested in their business and an established business presence?

If they do then you are pretty safe hiring them as a contractor so long as the also meet majority of the above criteria.

Opportunity for Profit

Can the worker realize a profit or incur a loss? Is the worker paid a flat fee and incurs any expenses as a loss?

If the answer is NO then you need to hire the worker as an employee.

In the end if you are uncertain about your relationship with your new hire or you can’t distinctively answer majority of these questions with a YES or NO response (because the status of your relationship is unclear) then it is best to contact the CRA and get a ruling before you proceed.

This will save you a lot of grey stress hairs, and costs in the long term.

#ThursdayThoughts: Employee or Contractor?

/in , /by

CRA, Vancouver Bookkeeper(s), Tax Return Service Vancouver, Small Business Bookkeepers in Vancouver, subcontractor, contractor, employee

Tear. It’s been a year. Your small business is growing before your eyes. You stare at your Profit and Loss statement for the hundredth time like a kid who’s been fervently measuring their height against the wall fixedly checks in on their progress, and your eyes fill with water. You really made it.

Your email  inbox is flooded with fan mail. It’s wonderful and scary. You want to respond to all of them, even the creepy ones, you want to be Superman/Wonder Woman/the Hulk combined, deliver on your promise of top-notch service but you need help.

You can finally afford it, but who do you hire: an employee or a contractor?

We recommend that before you hire anyone as an employee you start them out as a contractor for a trial period. This way you can test them out and make sure they work well with you, are reliable and will not steal business from you before committing to a long-term agreement.

Once the initial trial period is over, ask yourself the following questions to give some clarity when trying to determine the best way to proceed with your expansion:

What is the nature of the project?

Will you need to control the time of those who help you and the sequence in which they complete tasks?

  • Yes- Then you need an employee
  • No- Then you can consider a contractor

Are you supplying all of the equipment?

  • Yes- Then you need an employee
  • No- Then you can consider a contractor

Do you need a very specific task completed?

  • Specialized tasks are often completed by contractors however if it is an ongoing specialized task then you may want to consider hiring an employee.

How long will I be this busy?

Do you have a higher workload because you have taken on a short term, labour intensive contract?

  • Yes- Then you can hire a contractor
  • No- Then you should consider hiring an employee

Financial responsibility

Will the payment of the person you hire depend on you receiving payment for the overall contract?

  • Yes- Then you can hire a contractor
  • No- Then you should hire an employee

Training

Do you plan on providing training?

  • Yes- Then you should hire an employee
  • No- Then you can hire a contractor as they should already be trained.

What are the Financial differences

If you hire an employee

  • You must match your employee’s CPP which is 5% of their gross earnings.
  • You must pay 1.4 times the EI amount that the employee pays.
  • You must remit taxes on behalf of the employee.
  • You must supply your employee with the equipment necessary to complete the job.

If you hire a contractor

  • They are responsible for paying their own CPP and taxes.
  • They supply their own equipment.
  • You cannot fire them without paying out the contract, they also cannot quit without finishing the contract.

As attractive as it may appear to hire a contractor over an employee you must make sure that your contractor is considered a contractor under the rules set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or you risk experiencing heavy fines.

Stayed tuned for next week’s post where we will discuss the CRA employee or contractor checklist in more detail.
