Busy isn't the same as paid.
We work with Dallas small businesses doing $250K to $3M a year, with 1 to 20 people, run by owners who are good at the work and tired of guessing at the numbers.
A busy season isn't the same as a profitable one.
Jobs get quoted fast, material prices move, and payment lands weeks after the work is done. You can be fully booked and still short on cash.
Track job costs, so you can see which jobs actually make money
Keep materials and subcontractors separate from overhead
Plan cash for the gap between doing the work and getting paid
A full appointment book doesn't always mean a full bank account.
Payroll is the biggest cost, supplies and equipment add up, and revenue arrives through several processors. It's hard to tell which services carry the business.
Match revenue from every processor to what lands in the bank
Show profit by service, so you know what's worth growing
Record payroll correctly every pay run, so labor costs are real
Your team's time is the product. Most of the cost is too.
Retainers, project fees and contractor costs blur together. Scope creep eats margin quietly, and owner pay ends up being whatever is left.
Track revenue and contractor costs by client
Check the margin on retainers and projects
Set an owner paycheck on purpose, not from what's left over
Sales are up. So why is the cash always sitting on the shelf?
Stock gets bought weeks before it sells, card and marketplace fees come off every sale, and shipping and returns move the margin around. Revenue looks healthy while the cash sits in inventory, and the owner gets paid last.
Reconcile store, card and marketplace payouts to the bank, fees and refunds included
Track inventory and cost of goods so your gross margin is real
Plan cash for stock buys and slow seasons before they arrive
