What is Class Tracking?

Class Tracking in QuickBooks is a way to break down different segments of a single business. Let’s say, for example, that you own a chain of restaurants. You have one in the north part of town, one on the south part of town, one in the east part of town, and one in the west part of town. You could establish classes with the following names: North, South, East, and West, and assign these to each transaction - writing checks, entering bills, generating invoices, etc.

If you want to see how of all the restaurants are doing as a group, you would run a regular Profit and Loss. But if you wanted to see how a particular restaurant was doing, you would still run a Profit and Loss, but you would filter it by Class. This report would give you the revenue and expenses for whichever class you chose, assuming all of the original entries were made correctly. Very nice!

What Types of Accounts Can Use Class Tracking?

Class Tracking is designed for Profit and Loss transactions, not for Balance Sheet transactions. On most screens it is very easy to tell if you are operating in a profit and loss transaction, or a balance sheet transaction with classes. Let’s take the Write Checks screen. You are familiar with both halves of this screen, no doubt. There is the upper half with the green “check,” and the lower half, with two tabs that say Expenses and Items in a white field.

If you have class tracking turned on in QuickBooks, open the Write Checks screen (from the banking menu, select Write Checks). Take a moment and look where the Class column is located. It’s in the lower half of the screen. The upper half of this screen is definitely a balance sheet transaction - it takes money away from the bank account. The lower half of the screen is often a profit and loss transaction. And it is in this section where the class is assigned.

The same holds for the Enter Bills screen. Open it now and see (from the Vendors menu, select Enter Bills). In the Invoice screen, it is is a little more difficult to understand, but still, the class assigned here will affect a profit and loss account.

Can I Have Separate Companies in a Single QuickBooks File, and Assign Each Its Own Class?

No. Each unique entity, with a unique FEIN, must have it’s own file.

I’ve often seen questions from people who have set up different companies in a single QuickBooks file, and assign a class name for to each company. At some point, the business owner inevitably wants a class report based on the balance sheet for each company - the bank accounts, accounts receivable, credit cards, accounts payable, etc., all broken down by class. QuickBooks Class Tracking cannot do this, and was not designed for this!

Another problem with establishing different companies within a single QuickBooks file is that ownership across the companies might not be the same. Retained Earnings for each company cannot be separated (at least, not automatically by QuickBooks). Maintaining separate Retained Earnings is crucial if the ownership across the entities varies AT ALL.

Also, if the entities are corporations, preparing the corporate tax returns becomes a real challenge if they’ve all been setup into a single QuickBooks file. There’s just no way to have QuickBooks breakout the separate balance sheets that are required for the tax returns.

What Should I Do If I Have More Than One Company in a Single QuickBooks File?

You will need to separate them into separate QuickBooks files. I know, I know - you don’t want separate QuickBooks files! I understand. But that is the way it needs to be - truly! If you need help doing it, go to the Intuit website and find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor to help. This is a sticky situation and should be handled by somebody who understands accounting principles.

If you, or someone you know has been served an arrest warrant, you may want to validate this information and make sure it is legitimate. You’ll probably also want to make contact with a lawyer who can help determine your rights in this particular situation. If you’re not directly involved in the situation, you still have the right as a citizen to get information about an arrest warrant.

Arrest warrants are public information, and can be easily and legally obtained through a free arrest warrant search. You can usually perform this type of search online through your local sheriffs departments website or through an easy and free public records search. If your sheriffs office doesn’t have a website or this online feature, you can also check by calling the sheriffs office and requesting information. Many rural areas sheriffs departments don’t have websites, or maybe not an updated site. In these cases your best bet is to call them, and they’ll readily supply you with your needed information.

Be Wary of Sites That Require Payment

Since free arrest warrant searches are legal and accessible, you should be careful not to fall prey to sites that request money for arrest warrant information. These are scam sites and are not operating in your best interest. It’s easy to find free arrest warrant searches online, but make sure that you are accessing a government site that services the public legitimately. Also, be careful with your personal information and make sure that you only give it to sites that are secure and trustworthy. If you’re looking to find arrest warrant information, you’re probably in a vulnerable state, so you should take extra care to make sure you’re not taken advantage of.

Remember that arrest warrant information is public information, and it you’re unable to find anything out through a government site or your local sheriffs office, then something may be amiss. This is why it’s essential to have a competent lawyer at your disposal at all times to deal with precarious legal matters.

There is a truth that has been around for thousands of years.  And  today it is as true as it was back then.  That truth is that you will always ”reap what you sow.” That statement is true no matter what you do.  Having a home base business is no different.  Below I will explain a few  steps that you can take to ensure that you reap the best  harvest that you have planted.  So that in the end, you will be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor.

T I M E

This is one of the most abused of all:  With your home base business, be sure to utilize your time wisely.  Respect your business the way it should be respected. If you need to make yourself a schedule, then do it !  Maybe it would be wise not to start out  reading  all of those e-mails you have in your inbox.  Wait until the end of a project or during your break time.  Many of us start out reading our e-mails and get  lost  for hours.  Then at the end of the day we haven’t accomplished anything.  Perhaps you can get into some sort of routine and stick with it.  Remember, what you sow into your business, you will reap it back to you.

LEARNING

With today’s technology, there is so much to be learned.  It is vital to commit quality time especially when you start out with your home base business.  Some try to skip pass this process.  If you don’t  (sow) time into learning, then you will (reap) the benefits that come along with it such as : Spending all of your funds too soon.  There are many free tools that are available to you if you take the time to find out about them.  For example, if you are trying to bring quality traffic to your squeeze page or website, try writing articles.  Or, if you don’t have a squeeze page, then go to Blogger.com and start posting information on your blog to bring the traffic.  Remember, you need to begin to sow somewhere in order to reap the benefits of it.

ENDURANCE

This is where we all must get to.  If your desire is to be successful with your home base business, then you have to endure.  Being an entrepreneur is not always easy.  In fact, most all business will take a lot of effort on your part.  Many people look for a way to just sit back and wait for a pay check without putting the time and   required learning it takes to get to endurance.  A farmer doesn’t  sow seeds today and expect a harvest tomorrow.  The same goes for your home base business.  If you spend these early days sowing into your business, then over time (endurance) you will reap the benefits of your labor.  And when you put all three of these principles to work in your business, you will enjoy sowing seeds.

Working from home is great, but if it becomes an obsession, there will come a time when you crave your own space. Here are six reasons why having your own small office can bring you clarity and peace of mind in your independent consulting endeavors.

1. Separation of work life and home life.

One of the drawbacks of working from home is that you’re permanently “on call.” What starts innocently enough as a casual check of email from your home computer can snowball into thirteen work-related conversations.

How many times has this happened to you? You’re about to sit down to watch a movie with your significant other, when all of a sudden the phone rings and it’s one of your scheming cohorts with another crazy marketing plan. Awesome, but now once again the fun is on pause, the movie is on hold, and you’ve ditched your sweetie in favor of work YET AGAIN, you workaholic maniac. Is this any way to cultivate healthy relationships? No, and it’s a great way to bring on guilt that you don’t need to deal with.

Renting a small office near your home means you can turn off the computer, activate your voicemail away message; lock up, call it a night and then devote the rest of your evening to the people who are important to you. Not your clients, but real-time, real-life family members and friends who keep meaning and balance in your life.

2. Better organization.

What kind of business owner runs the show from their bedroom floor? Working from home offers convenience and flexibility, but if you’re not a super-organized person to begin with, you’ll find that things can go from moderately sloppy to downright out of control. File folders in the livingroom; cell phones in the kitchen. Is this any way to live?

Do yourself a favor; if you have the budget for it, pay a few hundred dollars a month for a small office close to home, where you can have things like real desks, file cabinets, a separate business phone, fax machine, copier and all of those other essentials that will help you run a tight ship and have easy access to the tools you need when you need them.

3. Possibility for expansion.

While working remotely is growing increasingly common, there are still some drawbacks to “not having the team under your watchful eye.” Not to mention, if you’re expanding rapidly, it’s simply more convenient to have all of your files protected and accessible via one server on one premises that you can get to with as few complications as possible.

With any luck, your business will grow by leaps and bounds; and one day you’ll find that having an accountant isn’t an added perk; it’s a necessity. If you’re running several websites, a webmaster and/or programmer may be the order of the day as well. Why not solicit this type of help locally, and provide a small office quarters where your part-timers can drop in and out whenever it’s convenient for them, sit down, put in a few hours and get things accomplished in a professional setting?

4. Greater productivity.

As motivated as you are 90% of the time, there will always be lazy days. Even though that computer is with easy reach… the refrigerator calls, the TV beckons, Mom’s on the answering machine demanding that you call her back, and the kids are itching to head out to the playground. All of this amounts to lack of focus, lack of direction and general blurring of the lines between your home life and your career. And that equals big-time counterproductivity.

If the idea of procrastinating most of your daylight hours away and then toiling away until long after midnight doesn’t appeal to you, think about getting your own office. A place to call “work” can be just the thing to keep you on a regular schedule, and as much as flexibility appeals to the freelancer, schedules are needed if we want to deliver the goods on time, both for our clients and in our personal projects. Plan your days; arrange for your spouse to watch the kids for a few hours while you get work done at the office; then switch roles. You’ll feel so much better when you’ve done a job from start to finish in a productive setting!

5. Having control over your own territory.

How many times has this happened to you? You’re in Heavy Concentration Mode, you’re so into whatever you’re working on that your eyes are practically boring holes into the monitor as your fingers fly around the keyboard. Woo hoo, you’re in a groove and things are crackling! Then along comes your boyfriend/wife/husband/roommate. “Do you mind if I just jump on the computer for a second to check my email/scores/credit record/Friendster.com stats?”

NOOOO… GET AWAY FROM ME…

(Of course you’re not really going to say this - but don’t tell me you haven’t thought it.) I don’t know about you but interruptions are high on my list of annoyances. And no one wants to be rude to the people they love, so you just kind of suck it up and let them have their fun for a few minutes… meanwhile, those brilliant thoughts you were having just a few moments ago are slowing skittering away…

Why stop the flow? If you value your alone time spent deep in creation, you really need a sanctum of your own where you can birth those brainchildren in solitude. Or even if you’re not alone but you have backup helpers, a professional environment that you control is essential for achieving your goals in a timely and efficient manner.

6. Having a place to inject your “whimsical work personality.”

If you’re a creative type, one of the best things about having your own workspace is decorating it with all of that goofy stuff that reminds you, Work Time = Fun Time! Do you enjoy blasting music while hammering out the details of a business proposal? Do you Photoshop wacky pictures of your colleagues as superheroes and other such weirdness and pin them up on the wall?

Working in “borrowed space” that’s merely an extension of your home and the aura that pervades there, really limits you from expressing your work personality and the lighter side of Professional You. But an office that’s filled with work-related whimsy can really spur you on to productivity and success.

If you’re just starting out in the freelance world, an office may be something that’s simply not in your price range right now. But if you have big visions for future expansion, keep it in the back of your head as something to invest in for the long-term success of your company.

Counsel can no longer assume that anything that happens, especially written notes, is protected by the confidentiality provision. Even if the parties sign the confidentiality agreement at the beginning of mediation that does not mean that everything is confidential, aside from a Settlement Agreement signed by the parties.

If a party produces, documents during the mediation, ask if this document is protected by the confidentiality agreement. If a party writes notes on a piece of paper, ask what is the purpose of the document and if it is a confidential writing. If it is confidential, it should be destroyed at the end of the mediation. Further, it should be identified in the confidentiality agreement that the writing is confidential. The parties or mediator should constantly question the protection of writings and conversations during mediation. If not, a party will find itself in the situation of the Thottams.

The California Court of Appeal in the case of Estate of Thottams (August 13, 2008) found that a document in chart form that was prepared during a mediation to demonstrate how assets should be allocated between the heirs, and initials placed next to each entry was a settlement agreement. Across the top of the chart were three columns, labeled with the first initial of each sibling. The chart was filled in to designate specific allocations of the listed assets. The siblings each signed and dated the top of the chart in the column with his or her initial, and initialed each entry in that column. Prior to the mediation, the parties signed an agreement which affirmed the confidentiality of the mediation except as may be necessary to enforce any agreements resulting from the Meeting.

Following the mediation, one party brought a civil action to enforce what he claimed to be a settlement agreement reached in mediation. The court found that this chart regarding allocations of assets was a settlement agreement and was exempt from the confidentiality provision. The court held that the material terms of a proffered contract must be sufficiently certain to provide a basis for determining what obligation the parties have agreed to. (Weddington Productions, Inc. v. Flick, 60 Cal.App.4th at pp. 811-812.) The court stated that ‘There are occasions in which minor matters in elaborate contracts are left for future agreement. When this occurs, it does not necessarily mean that the entire contract is unenforceable.’ (Id. at p. 813.) Applying these principles, the court concluded there was sufficient evidence before the court to establish the preliminary fact that the chart created at the mediation was a settlement agreement. The items on the chart, while lacking in formality, were sufficiently clear to determine the obligations to which the parties agreed. There were no complete sentences, nor formal descriptions of the assets being addressed, but the assets were named in shorthand which apparently was understood by the parties.

The court held that the chart was not a model of clarity, but the chart provided sufficient information about allocation of assets to indicate the intended obligations of the parties. Whether or not the document contained all necessary details for enforcement, it certainly contained adequate manifestation of mutual consent to material terms which were capable of being made certain. Without deciding its enforceability, the court concluded that the chart constituted a written settlement agreement for purposes of Evidence code section 1123, subdivision (c).

The lesson learned from Thottams is to question, question, and question during mediation. Mediators may not be tuned to the tricks of the parties, so the parties should always question the intent of the use of a document or writing during mediation. If a party wants to make certain that the document is protected by confidentiality, it should be noted in the confidentiality agreement.

Mediators should control the process so that they do not get caught testifying as to the intent of the parties following mediation. Mediators should have the parties sign a confidentiality agreement, if documents are later produced, question its confidentiality and note the document in the confidentiality agreement. If the parties need to illustrate a point, use a dry ink board. At the end of the mediation, erase what is on the dry ink board. If the parties want what was written on the board to become embodied in a settlement agreement, have the parties draft and sign a settlement agreement.

If these simple rules are followed, the court of appeal will no longer have to stretch to find an agreement when all the parties did not intend for it to operate as an agreement.
