Guide 20

Company expense or job cost?

Costs that belong to the business, not to a job

The problem

Insurance, fuel, shop rent and a new compressor come out of the same account as the jobs. Spread them over jobs and the job numbers lie.

What Zeus does

Company Expenses is the home for costs that are not for one job. Zeus subtracts them from job profit and shows what the business kept.
