ISBN: 1572180714 Author: Michael C. Stone

go broke, in almost all cases, comes from not charging enough for the work that is done.

includes a number of problems for the reader to assure their thorough understanding of the
math and the principles involved. The book is easy to understand by non-accountants.
To help you keep your company organized, the book includes sample worksheets and sales
contracts, lead sheets, subcontract forms, notification forms, job schedules, checklists
and other blank forms. Add your company's name, address or logo, and then photocopy them
as you need them. Or, use the FREE CD-ROM included inside the back cover. |
