Overhead is Evil… Or Is It?
Greg Khan, Client Director from CFO Advisory at Xact Accounting, went through a model he created to better understand the revenue required to continue hitting net profit targets when adding additional overhead staff.
Key Highlights:
- How do COGS and Overhead costs differ – and why it’s important to know the difference
- How to better predict the impact on margins of hiring “back-office” staff like estimators or admin.
- Thinking of scaling up marketing? How much revenue and new projects do you need to win to protect your net margin.
- How to allocate wages for carpentry teams moving between jobs, and business owners working on, as well as in the business.
