Reports & Expenses

Using Expenses and Floor Fee Expense Tracking

Track studio expenses and floor fee costs so reporting and profit views are more accurate.

Overview

The Expenses module lets studios and independent instructors record business expenses in DanceFlow.

This helps reports and P&L views show a more truthful picture of business activity.

Common expenses

Examples include:

  • Floor fees paid to another studio
  • Rent
  • Supplies
  • Event costs
  • Marketing expenses
  • Contractor or professional fees
  • Other business expenses

Floor fee expenses

Floor fees can mean different things depending on the business.

For an independent instructor renting space, a floor fee paid to another studio is an expense.

For a studio renting out its own space, floor rental fees collected are revenue.

DanceFlow separates these perspectives so floor fees are not blended into generic payments.

Add an expense

1. Open Expenses.

2. Add a new expense.

3. Enter the date, amount, category, vendor or studio name, and notes.

4. Save the expense.

Use clear descriptions so the expense is easy to understand later.

Best practice

Enter expenses as close to the actual expense date as possible. This helps monthly and year-to-date reporting stay accurate.
