Art Cashflow Report

What is the Art Cashflow Report template and why do you need it?

I was informed a long time ago, that when it comes to business: "you can't manage what you don't measure".

 

In other words, you need to keep a record of sales and costs within your art business to monitor your progress on paper.  It's important to be able to see where the money is coming from and where it is going.

In some respects, keeping track of your business figures is much like having your own marketing data. If you know what is working then you can make adjustments to make it even better. If things are NOT going too well, you can at least see where your business isn't going so well and make appropriate adjustments.

Keeping records can be a very boring process, but the Art Cashflow report template makes it so simple, as it does all the calculating for you. You just enter the figures and save your file each month.

Press play to watch the video below to see the Art Cashflow Report template example...

 
Please note: The cashflow template is in an Microsoft excel doc format. May not be suitable for all users.

 

Watched the video? Still wandering what fees may full under the miscellaneous column?

Miscellaneous fees could be anything from advertising costs that needed to be paid, fees that may need to be paid to the gallery owner, exhibit stall fees, or you simply may have to pay an affiliate commission to someone who helped you sell the painting.

Remember that you can make any adjustments you require to better suit your selling environment. If you are not selling art on ebay and only doing weekend exhibits, simply fill in the category titles to better cater for your exhibit art sales. It's easy!

If you are selling your art through a gallery; its still important that you keep a personal record of your sales and costs.

 

Automatically Does The Calculating For You

This Art Cashflow Report template is set up to automatically calculate all the data you enter into the areas that are relevant to the sale and costs associated to your art business.

All you need to do is enter your data each month and save the report in your allocated file on your computer.

As you will need an empty report template (a copy with no entered numbers) for each new month, make sure to copy your existing cashflow report under a new name.

For example, when you are downloading this template from my site, save it under whatever month we are currently in.

Then when you have it downloaded into your "cashflow report" file, save it again as the name of next month. Then repeat the process a couple of times until you have around 6 months of empty templates ready to use.

Doing this will save you having to delete all the data and entering zeros to commence a new month.

I hope you manage to get some good use out of this template.

To download your free copy of the Art Cashflow Report template, simply right click on your mouse and save the file to your desktop:

Good luck recording all those art sales! (wink).
