Thanks, Tabari. We use a few main tools to track our data:
First, we use Cobot to manage our coworking space, and Cobot does provide us with some basic analytics. We export information about the number of members we have, and we've just begun to make use of their accounting codes <https://www.cobot.me/guides/accounting-codes> to allow us more granular tracking of how our revenue breaks down. Second, as I mentioned in the post, we hired an accountant this year, and we use a mix of Xero and Google Spreadsheets to keep track of our financials on a regular basis. Our accountant does his magic in Xero, and then once a month we dump the data in a Google Spreadsheet so we can talk about it. In this spreadsheet we track revenue, expenses, and much of the data you saw in my blog post. (I plan to share some of our Google Spreadsheets soon... stay tuned.) I would love to create some sort of dashboard software that magically pulls all of this info together, but, alas, I don't think it exists. For now, it's a combination of some custom reporting from Xero and Cobot, some manual entry in a Google Spreadsheet, and a monthly meeting to make sense of it all. Holler if you have additional questions. Happy to answer! -Matt On Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 8:59:06 PM UTC-6, Tabari Brannon wrote: > > Excellent read.
