Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Connex will match the products on your website to QuickBooks, which records the COGS as sales data imports. As a result, you will know the current value of your inventory. Understanding these expenses will help your business price its products for maximum profitability. Plus, COGS calculations will benefit your business further by tracking vital tax deductions.
The Cost of Goods Sold is deducted from gross income during a certain time period. COGS is essential for businesses as it allows for a reduction in taxable income. Failing to record this value will inaccurately increase income, resulting in higher taxes.
Common COGS to include
- Cost of raw materials
- Wholesale price of goods that are resold
- Packaging or repackaging costs
- Production supplies
- Freight in and out (not shipping to a customer)
Importance of COGS in accounting
- Essential for determining the profitability of a company or product line
- Makes it easier to spot cost-saving measures
- Helps optimize inventory ordering to reduce ordering costs
- Measures turnover, helping to minimize holding costs
- Can identify future opportunities for growth
- Lowers your taxable income and reduces your business’s tax bill
