Inventory Cost & Pricing spreadsheet for handmade sellers

$77.00

Description

Time to get your inventory organized – get a handle on your costs, set a profitable price point, and finally understand your inventory when it comes to taxes.

If you’re a physical product seller, you may be struggling with exactly HOW to handle tracking your goods. Not to mention all those raw materials and supplies (beads, fabric, shiny things, tiny things, #allthethings, oh my!).

The process for entering raw materials & supplies, figuring out the cost of a handmade item, and setting a profitable price point for a maker can be time-consuming and stressful. And don’t forget about doing that year-end inventory count for tax purposes!

If you’re tired of wasting energy trying to figure out a way to track inventory or price your handmade goods on your own, a Paper + Spark inventory spreadsheet is for you!

Plus knowing just how much your products cost you to create and how much you should sell them for are two huge MUST DO’S for any creative biz owner that’s serious about building a profitable, sustainable business.

That’s exactly what the Inventory for Handmade Sellers spreadsheet does for you – it takes the guesswork out of pricing your handmade goods and tracking your inventory numbers for tax time.

What does this spreadsheet do?

A lot! This powerful tool will assist you with the following business tasks when it comes to handling your supplies & finished goods:

  • Keep you organized by logging your raw materials & supply expenses (and automatically calculating your cost per unit)
  • Determine how much your finished goods cost you to create to ensure accurate pricing for profit
  • Calculate your suggested overhead rate, an important {and often forgotten} component of your pricing formula
  • Calculate a wholesale and retail price, based on a formula that you have the flexibility to adjust
  • Keep track of finished goods available for sale and sold throughout the year
  • Keep track of inventory taken out for personal use (an important number for tax time)
  • Easily calculate the tax numbers you need for inventory (total purchases and ending inventory)
  • Take the stress and overwhelm out of your year-end inventory count

What’s included in your purchase?

  • An instantly downloadable & ready-to-go multi-tabbed spreadsheet file, openable in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. This one file can be used year after year.
  • A detailed written instruction guide, with screenshots and explanations of applicable accounting terms and concepts used, available in Google Docs
  • Series of video tutorials with step-by-step instructions on how to use your spreadsheet
  • Access to the Accounting Accountability Club on Facebook for support, questions, and monthly office hours
  • Monthly checklist & reminder emails

Love the Spreadsheets

I absolutely love the spreadsheets. I got the Etsy seller spreadsheet and the inventory spreadsheet with the Shopify plug in. Love having all the info in one place and to be able to see in real time exactly where my business sits financially. Thank you for this product!

Love it

Thank you for being exactly who I needed to teach me about all of this legal and financial stuff. Before I found paper & spark, I literally said, "I need to find a video of an Etsy seller explaining sales tax and how it really is." And here you are!

Very Helpful

I’m still getting up to speed on it all, but the videos are very helpful. I’m brand new to everything and I’m looking at starting my own business to sell my woodburnings and I want to do things right, and your videos and instructions have been so helpful to me as I’m just starting out. You have included a lot of information that has made this process attainable for me and less scary, and is helping me get all of my ducks in a row! Thank you so much!

Perfect tool

I don't have any experience with spreadsheets, but this one is very user friendly. I was able to start plugging in my inventory and materials without any problems. I only regret not being more organized sooner.

This is such a great resource! I was always intimidated by the thought of using spreadsheets. This has simplified it and made it do-able.
