THE INDUSTRY CHART OF ACCOUNTS

We frequently stress the critical importance of being able to compare your key financial ratios/percentages against other similar size firms. However, in order to do that it is necessary that everyone be on the same page when comparing percentages for categories such as cost of goods, payroll percentages and overhead expenses.

Consequently, approximately 20 years ago, NAQP adopted and established what we now refer to as an Industry Chart of Accounts

That chart of accounts not only establishes a basic layout or standard format (sales, cost of goods, payroll, and overhead) for a profit and loss statement, but also specified the minimum expense "categories" that firms should attempt to breakout.

Using the standard chart of accounts, NAQP surveys the industry every two years and publishes an extremely valuable document known as the Industry's "Operating Ratio Study" or a Financial Benchmarking Study.
