A structured financial system built for trades businesses doing $1M and up. Fixed monthly pricing. Defined deliverables. No hourly billing. No surprises.
Most trades owners are great at the work. The financial side is a different story. If any of these hit home, you're not alone.
"Revenue is up but I never seem to have cash in the bank."
"I don't actually know which jobs are making money and which ones aren't."
"My accountant only calls at tax time. That's not enough."
"I'm pricing jobs on gut feel. I don't know if my margins are right."
"We're growing but I have no idea where the money's actually going."
"Payroll hits and I'm scrambling every single time."
Most trades businesses don't have a revenue problem. They have a visibility problem. You can't fix what you can't see.
