For Trade Contractors. No BS.
We find the cash hiding in your business.
We get inside your numbers, job by job. We find where the margin is leaking. Then we put the systems in place to stop it.
Our work pays for itself.
The problem
Busy isn't the same as profitable.
You can have your best year for work and your worst year for money.
Most contractors don't find out which one it was until tax time.
By then, the money's already gone.
You shouldn't have to wait a year to find out how your year went.
A 12% labour overrun on a $40,000 job is $4,800. Run four jobs like that in a year and it's $19,200. Gone before you ever see it on paper.
Here's the math. Example numbers, not a client result.
We get inside your numbers. Then we fix what we find.
See every job.
Every dollar tracked against every job. You see what each one actually made you, every month.
Find the leak.
Labour overruns. Pricing gaps. Change orders nobody billed. We find them in your real numbers, not in a guess.
Build the fix.
We put our proven systems in place, one at a time. We don't hand you a report and leave.
What we do
Two things. Done properly.
The Books
Every job, what you quoted next to what it actually cost. Labour, materials, subs and change orders on the job they belong to. All built on books kept current every month.
- Job costing.
- Bookkeeping, every month.
- Your monthly reports.
The Build
Once we know your numbers, we can see the leaks. Jobs priced too low. Labour that runs long. Work that gets done twice. We've already built the systems that fix them. We put them in place in your business.
- Pinpoint which of our systems your business needs.
- We put them in place.
- Check in regularly so nothing slides back.
Most owners start with the Books. The Build is there when you're ready for it.
How it works
Here's how it goes. No surprises.
-
The call
You talk to Matt. He asks how your business runs. You ask whatever you want.
-
The quick check
A short questionnaire on how you handle your money today.
-
Setup
We get your books in order, set up time tracking by job, and get your job costing running. You keep working.
-
Your monthly reports
Which jobs made you money. Which ones didn't. In plain words.
What changes
What it looks like when your numbers are straight.
- You quote the next job knowing what the last one cost.
- You know what an hour of labour really costs you.
- You know which kinds of work pay, and which ones just keep you busy.
- You see a problem the month it happens, not the year after.
- Tax time stops being a scramble.
Who we are
Not accountants. Operators.
We've run construction businesses. Managed the crews, chased the payments, signed the cheques. We built Trades Vantage because we needed it ourselves.
You deal with the two of us. Not a call centre.
Matt
The field side
12+ years in construction. Three multimillion-dollar businesses built, two sold.
Kaitlyn
The numbers side
Runs the job costing, the books and the systems behind every report you get.
Let's find where your money's going.
The call, the conversation and the quick check are all free. No obligation until you decide to work with us.
