Intro
Running a trade business is hard work. Here’s how we help tradies grow their business, so you can spend more time on the tools, and less time stressing about the numbers.
The problem
Most tradies we meet are flat out. The phone’s ringing, and jobs are booked weeks ahead. But at the end of the month, the bank balance doesn’t always reflect how hard you’ve worked.
1. Know your numbers
First, we help you know your numbers. Simple monthly reports that show which jobs, and which customers, actually make you money.
2. Price for profit
Second, we help you price for profit. We make sure your quotes cover materials, labour, overheads, and your own wage, so every job is worth doing.
3. Keep cash flowing
Third, we keep the cash flowing. Deposits, progress claims, and following up unpaid invoices, so you’re not waiting months to get paid.
4. Tax & BAS sorted
Fourth, we take care of tax and compliance. BAS, tax returns, and planning ahead, so there are no nasty surprises at tax time.
5. Plan for growth
And fifth, we help you plan for growth. Whether that’s putting on an apprentice, buying a new ute, or setting up the right business structure as you grow.
