Track Your
Candle Business Inventory, Expenses,
Mileage, Potential Taxes & Deductions
If you're already familiar with the
Tracker,
and would like to purchase
the newest Version,
Skip this Introduction & Purchase Below!
As a business owner, one of our primary
responsibilities is to keep track of the following things, which are
universal to almost every business that sells a product;
-
Income from Sales, and the
Sales Tax collected from them,
-
Expenses, and how they translate
into deductions on a tax return,
-
Mileage, if you claim use of a
vehicle as a business expense,
-
Inventory of all items available
for sale, and
-
Potential Total Income and Self
Employment Taxes.
For many, this is
better done by accountants, or by using a paper ledger or
spreadsheet. Paper spreadsheets have a large
margin for error, though, due to the many manual calculations that have to be
made. And if
errors are discovered along the way, they must be found & fixed at the
source, which can be overwhelming.
And even if you do have an
accountant do your taxes,
you still have to organize your stuff for them, right?
Enter the
Candle Business
Tracker document! We used Microsoft Excel® 2007 to create a
multi-tab tracking spreadsheet. Take a look at all the benefits you
can enjoy, by using the Candle Business Tracker to keep
your business organized!
-
View Year-To-Date totals
for your income,
-
Enter your expenses like a
checkbook, categorizing them into columns shown on the IRS Schedule C,
for much easier tax return preparation
-
View your potential
Self-Employment Tax on your profits, on any given day
-
Enter your mileage from business
trips, and see it automatically transfer to your expense spreadsheet
-
Keep track of all your inventory
activity for Jar Candles, Melts, Votives, Specialty Candles, Bath & Body products,
and Simmer Pots & Plug-ins; whether you purchased them, sold them, used them to promote your
business, or used them personally.
-
Add to (or subtract from) your
inventory on any day of the year.
-
Look at your candle inventory either on a
product basis (meaning jars, votives, etc) or by scent name.
-
Have quick access to all Stock
numbers available for each product
-
Have quick access to a list of all
fragrances
-
Keep track of retail customers during
the year, and their orders
-
Track & project the
profitability of doing fundraisers
-
"WOW" your accountant with your
organization, and make tax time easier,
since you'll have an idea in advance, what your year-end results might be.
-
All formulas are protected from
accidental deletion or corruption.
-
It's very easy to use! If you can
write numbers into the rows and columns of a checkbook or a ledger, then you
can use Excel. Because that's really all you have to do... enter
numbers & some dates, and the spreadsheet does the
rest! Don't let its size or layout intimidate you!
-
Registering for the Tracker also gives
you access to my "Tax Deduction Guide"
. It covers the Schedule C line-by-line, discussing different kinds of
expenses you may be able to deduct for your business. It's built from excerpts
of the National
Association for the Self-Employed website.
(The Tax Deduction Guide
is currently being updated for
2012)
-
There's also a Store & Show Checklist, and other
useful documents.
