This product is designed for Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.
 


The key to successfully operating a business is having the right information to make your decisions. This concept may appear elementary, but it can be one of the greatest strategic and operational obstacles a business faces. As any person who reads or analyzes financial statements knows, there are more financial indicators available than are needed. The trick is to choose the indicators that have the greatest relevance to a firm's financial goals.

Since a Blueprint is a plan of action, or something already done that can be used as a guide to doing something in the future, JaxWorks Blueprint™ uses familiar financial tools to analyze, plan, and grow a firm's future.

JaxWorks Blueprint™ broadcasts thousands of data analysis information from single data entry sheets. For example, the primary module produces a 64 page analysis report from data entered on one page.

Compatible with Microsoft Office 2000, 2003, and 2007, JaxWorks Blueprint™ is totally open architecture, has no macros, and contains 82 worksheets which print 109 pages.

Blueprint™ Examples

Financial Ratios
This worksheet will help both you and any potential outside investor compare your business's performance from one year to the next (for example, has gross profit grown or declined between years one and five?) and against other similar businesses (for example, does your business give as good a return on investment as others?).

The ratios can also be used as an aid in making future financial projections. For example, if you believe that it is prudent to hold the equivalent of a month's sales in inventory, once you have made the sales forecast for future years, the projections for inventory in the balance sheet follow logically.

Optimal Performance Analysis
Several numbers on this page may appear illogical since maximum percentages were used in Sales and minimum percentages were used in Expenses.

Its sole purpose is to show how, if everything comes together, the results of maximum efficiency already performed in other time periods.
Market Value Analysis
There is no single best method for determining a business's worth since each business sale is unique.

The wisest approach is to compute a company’s value using several techniques and then choose the one
that makes the most sense.

There are three techniques and several variations for determining the value of a business:
1) The balance sheet technique.
2) The earnings approach.
3) The market (or price/earnings) approach .

Break-Even Analysis
The Break-Even point can be easily computed by dividing Fixed Expenses by Fixed Expenses plus Profit: FE/(FE+P).

You will note that the date of Break-Even has also been computed by multiplying 365 times the Break-Even percentage. In the BE Chart, placing your pointer on the bisection of Sales and Expenses will also indicate the month and approximate date.

General Trend Assessment Analysis
Trend assessments are vital to discovering  the overall health of a business.

This sheet yields 8 periods of trends in Net Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, Total expenses, Operating income, EBIT, Net Income After, Current Assets, Inventory. Total Assets, Current Liabilities, Non-current Liabilities, Total Liabilities, Retained earnings, Equity, and
Z-Score:
     Publicly Held Firm
     Privately Held Firm
    Non-Manufacturing
And, much more . . .

The Budget Scenario Analysis
This analysis helps managers evaluate the impact of different business scenarios on key budget drivers that generate revenue. You can use them to enter data about the best-case, average-case, and worst-case scenarios on annual revenue. Find out whether the revenue assumptions associated with your annual budget are reasonable or whether mitigating strategies should be implemented to limit risks associated with the worst-case scenario.

Use this analysis as part of your annual budgeting cycle after you've completed the initial draft of your budget.
Headcount Analysis
The Headcount and Payroll Planning worksheet set is designed to help finance, human resources, and compensation teams forecast and plan annual headcount and total compensation. This set of worksheets helps you forecast compensation expense based on the predicted number of staff each quarter within each department. It also accounts for key expenses such as fringe benefits and variable pay.

Product Profitability Analysis
This  analysis helps finance, product management, and operations teams assess the overall profitability of specific products quarterly and annually. By conducting a product profitability analysis, your company can understand the direct and indirect costs associated with developing and offering a specific product and assess a product's contribution to the bottom line.
Marketing Budget Plan
The Marketing Budget Plan worksheet lays out a list of possible expenditures for you to consider when creating your marketing budget. You can use all the categories in the template, or only a few, or you can add categories of your own.

This worksheet makes it easy for you to create a budget plan, because formulas and other worksheet features are already set up for you. When you enter or change quantities and prices, the totals are automatically adjusted.

Dashboards
There are 4 dashboards:
   1) Financial Operations Dashboard
   2) Revenue Operations Dashboard
   3) Key Financial Indicators Dashboard
   4) Key Financial Ratios Dashboard

All serving to view key indicators at a glance.

All of these mini-charts can be drag copied or linked to a PowerPoint presentation, or any suitable MS Office or compatible application.
