    November Lunch and Learn

    Join us on Thursday, November 14, 2024 from 1 PM to 2 PM for another FREE virtual learning opportunity. The topic is “Introduction to Job Costing" presented by Gary Ickes. 1 ISA CEU Applied For. 

    The presentation will cover basic expense analysis to determine the cost to operate a business, how to calculate your per hour cost to work, develop a cost per hour to charge your clients, and simple bidding of work. The information has been developed over the last 30 years of being in business. The information is given by a tree care professional not an accountant or MBA. While the information should work for many small tree care companies, there are other options available that may work better for your company.
