$32,000 revenue - $28,000 attributable costs = $4,000 contribution.
High revenue, but extra site visits and rework consume most of the contribution. Check scope and the cause of callbacks before changing the price.
Find what the work actually returns.
- 01
Match the money to the work
Connect customer or job revenue with labor, materials, rework, and other attributable costs. Agree how shared costs are treated.
- 02
Separate evidence from estimates
Flag missing time, inconsistent job codes, and uncertain allocations. Incomplete records become a measurement plan, not a false ranking.
- 03
Choose the next move
A reviewed analysis identifies where to investigate repricing, scope, staffing, or collections. Monthly reporting can keep the same view current.
Use the detail that fits your business.
Before we begin
Do I need to become a monthly client?
No. A one-off review stands on its own. If ongoing reporting would help, we explain that option after the decision is clear.
What if my records are incomplete?
We identify the missing evidence before agreeing the work. If bookkeeping cleanup is needed, we help you define that gap for your bookkeeper or a suitable partner.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?
The free call establishes fit. You receive a written scope, fee, required records, and delivery date before paid work begins. Timing starts from usable data and agreed access. No purchase is required to book the call.
Know which work deserves more of your time.
Tell us how you track jobs, customers, and labor. We will establish whether the records support a profitability review or need a measurement setup first.
