Collins A24 Series Analysis Book 18 Money Column - 10218

Collins A24 Series Analysis Book 18 Money Column - 10218

The Collins A24 Series Analysis Book with 18 Money Columns is the highest-column-count analysis book in EzyShop's Collins range. Eighteen blank money columns adapt to any heading assignment. The signature layout: six quarters × Budget/Actual/Variance = exactly 18 columns — a complete 18-month quarterly budget monitoring record in a single book. Also: 18 months of monthly data; 12 monthly actuals plus 6 annual summary and comparison columns; complex payroll with 18 components; cost allocation across 18 departments.

THE SIX-QUARTER LAYOUT — WHAT 18 COLUMNS MAKES POSSIBLE

• 6 quarters × Budget/Actual/Variance = exactly 18 columns — divide the 18 columns into six groups of three; each group = one quarter (Q1 through Q6, 18 months from the start of the planning period); three columns per quarter = Budget, Actual, Variance; result: a complete 18-month quarterly monitoring record — the only column count that fits six full quarters of B/A/V without remainder
• Why 18 months matters — used by startups tracking runway, grant recipients managing 18-month project funding, property developers working through development timelines, new ventures and product launches, and government-linked entities on 18-month programme cycles; 12-column books fall 6 months short; 14-column books can't carry six quarters; 18 is the exact count
• Quarterly periods align with Australian compliance — BAS lodgement, PAYG instalment cycles, superannuation quarterly due dates and management account reporting all operate on quarterly intervals; six quarters maps naturally to these rhythms for a medium-term planning record

THE 18-MONTH MONTHLY LAYOUT

• 18 months of monthly data — 18 columns, one per month; for businesses whose planning or reporting cycle spans more than one financial year; startups tracking monthly burn rate through to Month 18; projects tracking monthly costs across an 18-month delivery programme
• 12 months plus 6 summary columns — columns 1–12: monthly actuals (Jul–Jun); columns 13–18: Full Year Budget / Full Year Actual / Variance to Budget / Prior Year Actual / Variance to Prior Year / Percentage Change; all six annual reference figures alongside monthly detail in one opening; the most comprehensive single-page annual analysis layout in the EzyShop Collins range

PAYROLL AND OTHER APPLICATIONS

• Complex payroll (18 components) — Ordinary Hours / Overtime / Penalty Rate / Public Holiday / Casual Loading / Gross Wages / PAYG Withholding / Medicare Levy / Super Guarantee / Voluntary Super / Salary Sacrifice / Car Allowance / Tool Allowance / Other Allowances / Union Dues / Other Deductions / Leave Loading / Net Pay; 7-year retention under Fair Work Act
• Cost allocation (18 departments) — up to 18 departments, branches or projects; running column totals per cost centre
• Sales/income analysis (18 categories) — 18 product lines, territories or revenue streams in parallel
• Multi-year comparison (3 years × 6 columns) — Budget / Actual / Variance / Prior Year / Year-on-Year Change / Running Total × 3 financial years = 18 columns; three-year comparative analysis in one volume
• Job costing (18 simultaneous projects) — labour, materials, subcontractors and overhead per project

CROSS-CAST VERIFICATION

Row totals equal independently verified transaction totals. Column totals sum to the same figure as the sum of all row totals. At 18 columns — whether six quarters of B/A/V, 18 monthly periods, or 18 pay components — the cross-cast is essential: at this complexity level, undetected errors compound across columns without arithmetic verification.
