For our podcast, our fun guest is going to help you make more money and show you how money is made in the back office . We have Randal De Hart, with Fast and Easy Accounting. He’s the co-founder of the Business Consulting and Accounting Agency, and a specialized in providing back office services for construction company. They provide book keeping services, invoicing, payment applications, preparation payroll processing, prevailing wage, monthly realtor, tax reports for construction companies. They’re located in Washington State but they handle companies all over the states. One of their mottos is: “WE REMOVE YOUR CONTRUCTOR PAPERWORK FRUSTRATIONS.” 

Way back ‘92,’93 its very obvious that there’s a huge difference between construction accounting and regular accounting. All accounting uses the same equation which is the 3 O’S.

1. The first O is the assets, as a constructor, what do you OWN?
2. The second O is the liability. What do you OWE?
3. The third O is Equity. What’s left OVER?

Any constructor would understand this.

Regular Accounting: roughly 80% of all accounting for business the world and is concerned with the basic financial reports which are used for preparing annual tax returns and some rudimentary management decisions:

1. Sales- income
2. Cost of GoodsSold – resell of the sales; 4 lines; LMOS
3. Gross Profit Margin – sales minus cost of goods sold gives us gross profit margin.
4. Expenses– Overhead required to maintain business operations; gross profit minus expenses gives us Net Profit. 

Construction Accounting Is Roughly 15% Of All Accounting and Accounting with manufacturing making up roughly 5%. So, it is given very little attention in schools, colleges and universities.

1. Labor – what you buy to pay for your employees; taxes and overhead;
2. Material
3. Other – permits; cellphones, fuels and gas;
4. Sub-constructor

Every business owner needs 3 basic report:

1. CASH = Cash on hand
2. PROFIT = Profit and Loss Report
3. EQUITY = Balance Sheet Report; explanation as to why profit is high; explains real money structure

Accounting is history. Forecasting in economics is all future. In construction accounting you pull up all the report in our Quickbooks files; this explains that 80% of your profit comes from the 20% of your customer.  If you pull up Job Profitability Report, the top 20% typically don’t complain a lot. Then going to a little bit of demographic and start taking a list which we call the persona of who is that person. Once the constructor already has that picture, he now has to go to the marketing, and markets through that persona. Going through this strategy, he was able to level up his income. The good personality you have and the setup you will have makes a good set up.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0122 And It Will Be Interview Of Daniel Eric Bowling From SmartTradesmen.com

Tell us about your background and how you came to be where you are now

I once co-owned a custom furniture design company, I have done many construction jobs including commercial drywall finishing, and most recently I have jumped into the world of online business.

Upholstery is the trade that I am most known for.  I spent the last 10 years mastering this dying trade.  As I was mostly self taught and also younger than most in the trade, I brought in a fresh perspective. 

While everyone else has this idea of a cookie cutter business with overhead and lots of expenses… Once I left my for company, I went a different route.  Low overhead and double my prices.  What I do is an art, so why not treat it as such.

There are times that work gets a little slow, but when you charge what you're worth it is easier to make up the difference.  I have found that in the slower times, I can make GOOD money.  But when everything falls into place.. I can make GREAT money and all it took was a change in mindset.  Swing for the fences when you have everything set up ready to support your workload.

Last year I had one job that brought in 10K in less than a week.  In the Smart Tradesmen way of doing things, working with other talented individuals is the quickest way to success.  That being said, this big job was mostly sewing.  I outsourced to my friend and former employee, who is a seamstress.  I paid her $2K to cut and sew.  She did this in less than a week.  Then I had 2 days of install and made $8K.  It all came down to charging what I thought it was worth to them.  Not how long will it take me.  Value yourself, and your knowledge.

I believe podcasts are very powerful and will be vital in my marketing strategy for this next year.  By the time this episode goes out, I will have launched my 2nd podcast called Smart Tradesmen.  Smart Tradesmen the podcast is designed to help bring entrepreneurship into small business, where most of us just own our own jobs.

We are building a great community behind the Smart Tradesmen brand.  
One that is ready for a new way to do business.  I am currently building a platform to support trade based businesses and to improve the life of the Tradesman and self employed from apprenticeship to retirement.

I believe in a “for the greater good” mentality, and I strive to offer as much value to the lives of those around me, as I possibly can.

What are some differences between you and your competitors?

Probably the fact that I do not approach anything like I have any competition.  My goal is to just be myself in life and in business, so good like competing with me on being me.  I have that market cornered. 

There are no competitors in the online world.  I am looking to help that one person who needs to hear my message.  If I am the guy for the job then so be it.
I know there are other upholsterers, so in the strict definition of competitors, yes they are out there.  I am unaffected though.  I only  take the jobs I want, I am honest, and I charge what I am worth. Because of that, I have some loyal customers.

What problem or issue does your product or service solve?

With the Smart Tradesmen community, I hope to get us all communicating so we can take our business to a new level as a whole.  A movement has begun in society, where there is a skills gap and a growing need for people to fill those skilled jobs.  I want to be out front speaking up to make sure that when the dust settles, we are getting paid what we are worth.

What are three things a contractor should consider when hiring your services?

Where they have been in the past, what worked for them and what didn’t. Where they want their business to be in 5 years. Where do they want to be personally in 5 years.

How can you tell if someone is a good fit for your company?

If they are ready to stop spinning their wheels and try something new. As far as my upholstery business, I only deal with very high end designers in the residential side of things.  I know right away if they are a fit just by the questions the ask me about my work. Commercial work is a little different.  It depends on their budget, and if I think I can make money for what they are able to pay.  It goes back to feeling out what they are able to pay and not just coming in at a low number to get the job.

What types of advice do you give a contractor?

Educate yourself.  Keep up with industry innovation.  Find out what new tools there are.  This includes new software or services. Use the new software, services, and systems to become more entrepreneurial. For example:  Dropbox, evernote, freshbooks, just to name a few. There are even free project management tools.

In closing, tell the listeners how they can contact you.
