I know this has been beat to death...for those of you that put yourself on a salary...how did you figure what was a acceptable ammount?
Did you figure it from net proffits after taxes or gross before??
Did you give yourself several bonuses to help hike the monthly net up ?
The business is growing...should my salary grow with it? Does your salary stay the same until it levels off? Or should my salary stay the same for the complete year and award myself,sales & VP with bonuses when we hit new goals.
I really look forward to what the future brings but I have been asked multiple times by my partner (who has a pregnant wife) if we can set goals in which his salary will increase? Will this play tricks on my accountant if salary changes througout the year? Will that throw up red flags if it does?
