Real Numbers. Real Contractors.

Here's what happens when the books are finally under control — contractors get back to building.

Every contractor we work with comes to us with a different problem. Messy job costing. Payroll headaches. Tax season panic. What they all have in common: they leave with clarity. These are a few of their stories.

Case 1

Residential Remodeler

Warren County, OH

The Challenge

A busy remodeling contractor was running 6–8 jobs at a time but had no idea which ones were actually profitable. Estimates were guesswork, and year-end taxes were a scramble.

What We Did

We set up job costing in QuickBooks, mapped every expense to the right project, and built a simple monthly reporting routine so the owner could see margin by job — in real time.

23%
Average margin improvement in year one
40 hrs
Saved per month on bookkeeping
0 surprises
At tax time for the first time in years

"I finally know which jobs are making me money and which ones I should stop taking."

Case 2

Commercial Subcontractor

Southwest Ohio

The Challenge

A growing HVAC subcontractor had added three crew members in one year. Payroll was being handled manually, certified payroll reports were late, and the owner was spending every Friday afternoon on paperwork.

What We Did

We took over payroll processing, set up certified payroll reporting, and handled all quarterly filings — freeing the owner to focus on bidding and field work.

100%
On-time certified payroll compliance
6 hrs
Returned to the owner every week
3 crews
Scaled without adding office staff

"Payroll used to ruin my Fridays. Now I don't think about it at all."

Case 3

General Contractor

Dayton metro area

The Challenge

A general contractor with $2M+ in annual revenue had never had a real set of financial statements. Their lender was asking for reviewed financials and they had nothing to show.

What We Did

We cleaned up three years of books, produced accurate P&Ls and balance sheets, and set up a monthly close process so they'd always have current financials on hand.

$2M+
In revenue finally reflected accurately
3 yrs
Of books cleaned up and reconciled
Approved
For the line of credit they needed

"We got the financing we needed because we finally had the numbers to back it up."
