Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers.
Because you can’t make good decisions with numbers you don’t trust. A bookkeeper keeps your income, expenses and job costs accurate every month, so you know what you’re really making, what you can afford and where the money is going. Without that, pricing, hiring and paying yourself are all guesswork.
Because by then it’s too late to do anything about what they show. Year-end books tell you what already happened. Monthly books show you a job losing money, a cash crunch coming or a price that needs to rise, while there’s still time to fix it. Catching up a whole year at once also costs more and is more stressful.
Profit First is a cash management system that sets aside profit first, before expenses, using separate bank accounts. It works especially well for HVAC, plumbing and other trade businesses, because it smooths out seasonal cash flow and makes sure the owner gets paid.
Through job costing: tracking the labor, materials and overhead on each job against what you charged. We set up job costing in QuickBooks so you can see which jobs, services and technicians make you money, and which ones don’t.
A bookkeeper records what happened. A fractional CFO helps you decide what happens next: pricing, hiring, big purchases and cash flow planning. Abacus gives you both, with clean monthly books plus monthly meetings to plan ahead.
