How much time do I need to set aside for dashboard set up?
One of Download n' Done's™ core purposes is for you to "download" and then quickly "be done" building your dashboard! You can expect to spend up to 1.5 hours on the initial set up. And then (later or in the same time block) it's another 1 hour to complete the bonus trainings (customization + presentation tips). Once it's built, each dashboard refresh only takes about 5 minutes!
I don't need this dashboard for an online business -- I'm working with a brick and mortar biz. Will this still apply?
Of course! Online businesses are not the only ones who need to pay attention to their financial profit! Anyone that needs more awareness of their profit and loss statement will benefit. This dashboard is also compatible with any industry because of the custom mapping features built-in.
I'm not an operations strategist needing a dashboard for someone else's business. I need it for my own business. Will this still help me?
Absolutely it will! As the CEO you get to be your own operations strategist. This dashboard provides financial KPI insights, helps you become more strategic, and you'll make better decisions -- for service providers and CEO's alike. And as you grow you can delegate this to your own Director of Operations!
I love the customization and ease of using this dashboard - can I use it with multiple clients?
One purchase = one business. Each purchase provides you license to download one copy of the dashboard for your personal use or for use in the course of one client's business. Specifically, you may use the dashboard for your own personal use or when providing one-on-one services for one client's business. Heyyy agency owners - we will be publishing our licensing options soon! Email hello@innowik.com if you're interested in this.
What tech stack do I need for setting up and maintaining this dashboard?
You need three tools to set up and run the Download n' Done™ Profit Producer dashboard. They are: 1) QuickBooks Online, 2) Google Sheets, and 3) Google Data Studio
What version of QuickBooks Online do I need?
The Download n' Done™ Profit Producer dashboard template is configured for QuickBooks Online Essentials subscription level or greater. The reports at this subscription level facilitate all the dashboard’s extra fanciness (interactive things like historical date and detail drill-downs).
Based on current pricing (Summer 2021), it's about $50/month for QuickBooks Online Essentials + FREE for Google = about $50/month. Most businesses already have (or you could recommend!) these tools, so your additional incremental cost for the dashboard itself is nothing! This is why we created this template, to make dynamic financial profit KPIs more accessible to you and your clients! You can always double-check here for up-to-date QuickBooks pricing.
Can I use this dashboard with Xero, Wave, or other accounting software?
It's fully possible to tweak the in-house accounting reports and use this dashboard with other accounting software, but please contact us first. This allows us to provide the most up-to-date instructions and understand the demand for new dashboard tools. Email us at hello@innowik.com and save yourself a headache!
What happens if I want to share this dashboard with a client that doesn't have a Google account?
No problem! One key reason we chose Google Data Studio for our dashboard tools is for its user-friendliness and ease of sharing for report viewers. You can share with anyone by turning on link sharing, even if they don't have a Google account. Our Bonus presentation tips video also walks you through this.
What happens when you make functionality updates to the dashboard? Will I get a new copy?
Absolutely! It's yours forever - including any functionality updates. We will inform you with the same email address that you provide at purchase.
What happens if I have questions or run into a tech snag?
Please feel free to email us any time! We'll do our best to support or point you to additional resources. I also offer 1:1 sessions if you want a second set of eyes on your client presentation or learn how to do additional customizations. You can set that up here.
