 net income. So one three two four. So one three two four net income dude. Let's double check that one three two four plus I got rid of the pennies. Alright so that so it looks like that's good so now I'm going to delete that I don't want it in debit and credit format I want to make all of my my let's make all of the expenses negative numbers so I can see these as negatives and these as positives and then it'll net out to net income so there's a trick to do that I can right click I can copy this I'm gonna try it over here so I don't mess anything up and right click and paste special and then I want to transpose down here transpose make is that it no no that's not what I do I want to subtract subtract which should make it negative so I'm gonna say okay so now it pasted the same thing but they're all negative so now I can just copy this and put it back over here boom and so so there we have it notice these all have formulas like funny formulas that says equals even though I don't need like an equal sign in there so I'm gonna take this whole thing and copy and paste it just one two three so it's just values values only so now I don't have any weird formulas okay so then I can put everything in one column so I can take this whole thing and drag it into one column or equivalently I can right click and cut it or control X and then control P or V or I can paste it right so I can do this control X control V control X control V okay so there is that and then down here notice that the sub categories get kind of ugly on the trial balance because it gives me the parent category and then the subcategory with a colon I don't really need the parent category so what I typically do is I go in here double click and just get rid of the parent category meaning I just to show you what I mean if I go to the income statement we have some accounts that we made like a parent account and then a subsidiary to it insurance the subsidiary on the trial balance it doesn't have a triangle drop down therefore it shows that it's a subsidiary by putting the parent colon and then right up then the subsidiary account but I don't need that so I just want the subsidiary accounts I'm gonna double click and get rid of all the ones with a colon so get out of here that this taxes payroll tax adjustments all I need so I'll get rid of all the parent account references then I can make this a lot smaller see I can make this column smaller and then my net income so my net income I can calculate by just summing this up equals the sum of these boom and it should still be the same one three two four which I can double check over here net incomes at one three two four okay so now I just I have just a basic income statement with the income as positives and the expenses as negatives I can calculate that by just summing it up there's my income statement that's a great starting point for me then to budget out I'm what I'm gonna do next time is basically map out the months I'm gonna imagine this is two months worth of data and I'm gonna kind of imagine that it was last year meaning November and December of the prior year and then map out January to December and use use these numbers to try to figure out what I should populate on a monthly basis going forward so that's gonna be our starting point let's save that and we'll continue from there next time so if I go back on over we'll continue to map this out and then and then we'll go back and import it once we map it out we'll import it into into the budget here on a profit and loss type budget and then we'll see if we can run reports we'll run reports with it that's what QuickBooks does well so QuickBooks isn't really generating the budget you can generate a basic budget but if we want to do anything more than that Excel I think is a much better tool but QuickBooks is still in the in the process because then we want to put it back into QuickBooks to run mainly my opinion best report the comparative reports to see what actually happened to what we budgeted to happen
