💰 SOP: FINANCIAL PLAN
(Business Planning System for Contractor / Company)
🎯 1. OBJECTIVE (គោលបំណង)
Purpose:
To control money, ensure profit, and grow business sustainably.
Key Goal:
- Know how much you earn 💵
- Know how much you spend 💸
- Know your profit 📈
- Avoid cash flow problems ⚠️
🧠 2. CORE PRINCIPLE (គោលការណ៍សំខាន់)
“Revenue is vanity, Profit is sanity, Cash is reality.”
👉 Focus on:
- Profit (not just sales)
- Cash flow (money in hand)
- Cost control
📊 3. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE (រចនាសម្ព័ន្ធហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ)
3.1 Revenue (ចំណូល)
- Construction contract value
- Design fee
- Variation order (extra work)
👉 Example:
- House project = $20,000
- Design = $1,000
- Extra work = $2,000
👉 Total Revenue = $23,000
3.2 Cost (ចំណាយ)
A. Direct Cost (ចំណាយផ្ទាល់)
- Materials (cement, steel, sand)
- Labor (workers, subcontractors)
- Equipment
B. Indirect Cost (ចំណាយអុីនដាយរ៉ិក)
- Office rent
- Engineer salary
- Transport
- Marketing
3.3 Profit (ចំណេញ)
👉 Formula:
- Profit = Revenue – Cost
👉 Example:
- Revenue = $23,000
- Cost = $18,000
👉 Profit = $5,000
📈 4. CASH FLOW SYSTEM (ការគ្រប់គ្រងលំហូរសាច់ប្រាក់)
Rule:
- Always have cash available
Monthly Flow:
| Month | Money In | Money Out | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 10,000 | 8,000 | 2,000 |
👉 Important:
- Don’t spend before receiving money
- Control payment schedule with client
🧾 5. BUDGET PLAN (ផែនការចំណាយ)
Step:
- Estimate total project cost
- Add safety margin (5–10%)
- Track actual vs plan
👉 Example:
- Planned = $18,000
- Actual = $19,500
⚠️ Over budget → must analyze
📉 6. COST CONTROL SYSTEM (ការគ្រប់គ្រងចំណាយ)
Control Method:
- Check material usage daily
- Compare BOQ vs actual
- Prevent waste & theft
👉 Site Rule:
- “Every dollar must be tracked”
🧮 7. PRICING STRATEGY (យុទ្ធសាស្ត្រកំណត់តម្លៃ)
Formula:
- Price = Cost + Profit Margin
👉 Example:
- Cost = $18,000
- Margin = 20%
👉 Price = $21,600
Strategy:
- Don’t be cheapest ❌
- Sell value + trust ✅
🏦 8. RESERVE & SAFETY FUND (មូលនិធិបម្រុង)
Rule:
- Keep 10–20% as reserve
👉 Use for:
- Delay payment

📊 9. KPI FINANCIAL (វាស់ស្ទង់ប្រសិទ្ធភាព)
Track monthly:
