The document

Walk through a finished report, section by section.

Eleven sections of a complete report, shown as they render, each with a note on what you are looking at. A demonstration on sample data — your report is built from your own records.

One — What you send

A job list and six typed answers. That's it.

We don't need your accounts or payroll. Your job list — type, price, date, time taken if you have it — plus six typed answers about your costs. A spreadsheet or a CSV out of your job software is fine. Messy is fine.

  1. Q1What does a tech cost you an hour — wages, payroll taxes, PTO, the lot?
  2. Q2What does one truck cost you a week — finance, fuel, insurance, tools?
  3. Q3Roughly what do you spend a month on materials?
  4. Q4What are your fixed monthly overheads — rent, insurance, office, software?
  5. Q5In a normal week, how many hours does a tech actually bill?
  6. Q6Which jobs do you find yourself going back to for free?

We've yet to see a set of records too messy to work with. If something's genuinely missing we'll tell you what it means for the answer, and refund you if it can't be done.

min call to walk you through it

If your numbers come back healthy, we refund it. Some firms are already pricing well. We'd rather say so and refund the $650 than dress up a problem you haven't got.

Three — What it typically pays back

Work out your own number before you spend anything.

Underpricing one job type

A firm turning over $740,000 with a fifth of that in one job type, priced 8% under, is leaving $11,800 a year on the table. On one job type.

The rate that hasn't moved

Wages went up in April. If your charge-out rate didn't, and you bill 6,000 hours a year, every $1 you're behind is $6,000 a year.

The work you'd stop taking

If 15% of your jobs make no money and you replaced half of them, that's $20,000–$40,000 of contribution on a $740,000 revenue.

The report costs $650. It pays for itself if it finds one job type priced 3% under. If it finds nothing, you get the $650 back.
