Can you track commercial accounts separately?

Yes. Commercial work gets its own income lines, and we keep those receivables current since commercial clients often pay on terms.

We bought a new rig this year. How does that affect taxes?

Equipment purchases can lower your tax bill depending on how they're depreciated. With a tax package, we'll go over the options with you before year end.

Can you tell me if soft washing is worth it?

Yes. Chemical cost per job and gross margin by service are in your monthly numbers, and your specialist walks you through which services carry the season.

The problem

The rig payment doesn't take winter off.

House washing, roof cleaning, concrete and gutters pile into a few warm months, often on equipment bought on credit. The books have to keep up with the season and the payments.

Rigs, trailers and the loans behind them
Pressure washing rigs and trailers are big purchases. Booked wrong, the loan and the depreciation throw off your profit and your taxes.
Chemicals by service
Soft washing and roof cleaning go through a lot of product, and the cost belongs with each service or you can't see what it earns.
Commercial accounts on terms
Commercial work often pays on net 30 or longer, which stretches cash right as the season winds down.

The big questions

Is the new rig paying off?
Roof cleaning or flatwork?
What do we need for winter?
Are commercial clients paying?
Is soft wash still worth it?

Coaching

Winter gets planned in August.

Your specialist tracks chemical cost and revenue per crew day, job by job, and sets the winter cash target with you while the money is still coming in.

Pricing: House wash and roof prices checked against chemicals, crew time and fuel.
Labor: Crew hours per day against what each rig brings in.
Materials: Chemical cost by service, so you see what soft washing earns.
Marketing: Which leads become repeat and commercial customers, and what each one cost.
Overhead: Rig payments, trailers and insurance, compared with other exterior cleaning companies.

Numbers to watch

Revenue per crew day: How well routes and pricing are working.
Chemical cost per job: Soft wash margins depend on it.
Gross margin by service: Roof cleaning and flatwork rarely earn the same.
Cash before winter: Decides how the off season goes.
