Home Services

You grew from a truck and a phone into a real business. Now the back office needs to catch up to this new reality.

It Wasn't Supposed to Be This Big

You started mowing lawns on weekends. Or cleaning houses after your day job. Or spraying for pests out of your garage. It was extra money. Then someone referred a friend. Then another. Now you’ve got a truck, equipment loans, employees, and 150 customers expecting you to show up every week.

The work grew. The systems didn’t. You’re still tracking jobs in your head, checking the bank balance to see if you can make payroll, and not entirely sure what you cleared last year after expenses. The business became real. The back office is still catching up.

Who This Is For

Lawn care, landscaping, cleaning services, pest control, pressure washing, pool maintenance, handyman services, junk removal. Businesses built one customer at a time.

Where You Are

Past the startup phase. Real revenue, real expenses, real employees. But not big enough to hire a full-time bookkeeper. That’s exactly where we come in.

A Hundred Small Customers

You’re not billing one big client $50,000. You’re billing 150 customers somewhere between $75 and $300 each, every week or every month. Some are on contracts. Some are one-offs. Some pay on time. Some don’t. Some are still mailing checks.

At that volume, things slip. An invoice doesn’t go out. A payment gets recorded wrong. A customer cancels and nobody updates the schedule. By the time you notice, you’ve left money on the table or done free work.

Recurring Revenue

Weekly, biweekly, monthly customers tracked so you know what’s expected, what’s been billed, and what’s still outstanding. No more guessing at cash flow.

Collections

Who’s behind? How far? We track aging receivables and follow up so you’re not chasing payments while trying to run jobs.

Crews Complicate Everything

When it was just you, payroll was simple. You kept what was left. Now you’ve got a crew. Maybe two. Hourly workers, overtime, mileage, maybe a crew lead on salary. Someone calls out sick and you scramble to cover. Someone works a Saturday and you need to track it.

Payroll mistakes cost you twice. Once when you overpay or underpay, again when your crew loses trust. Getting it right every time means having systems that match how your business actually works, not some generic template.

Payroll

Hours tracked, overtime calculated, taxes withheld, checks issued. Same day every time. No more late nights doing payroll math on your kitchen table.

Labor Cost

What does each crew cost per hour, per day, per job? When you know the number, you can price work accurately instead of guessing.

A Back Office That Matches the Business

You built something real. Customers count on you. Employees depend on you. The business makes money. But if someone asked to see your books, you’d stall. If the IRS sent a letter, you’d panic. If you wanted a loan for another truck, you couldn’t produce the paperwork.

We get the back office to match what you’ve built. Monthly books that close on time. Reports that show where the money goes. Records that hold up if anyone asks questions. You keep growing. We make sure the foundation is solid.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month. P&L and balance sheet that reflect reality. Numbers you can actually use to make decisions.

Tax Ready

When your CPA asks for documents, they exist. When deductions need backup, it’s there. No April scramble, no missing receipts, no expensive surprises.
