Set up right, your books pay you back.

Your chart of accounts is the list of buckets every dollar lands in. Set up for a janitorial company, it shows margin by contract every month, and your specialist coaches you on what to do about it.

A generic setup can't tell you which buildings pay.

Most bookkeeping software starts with a one-size-fits-all list. Supplies, labor and contract revenue get lumped together, and the report can't answer the question you ask most.

  • One profit number for the whole company

    Lumped-together accounts give you a single total and no way to see it building by building.

  • How we set it up

    We build income accounts by service, cost accounts for direct labor and supplies, and a class for each contract, so every transaction lands in the right place from the first month.

  • What it shows you

    Your monthly numbers show revenue and margin by contract, labor as a share of revenue and supply cost per account. That's what you need at renewal.

The big questions

  • Which contracts make money?
  • Why is labor in overhead?
  • What's supply cost per site?
  • What goes in cost of goods?

We coach building by building.

Your specialist reads the margin on each contract, so you walk into a renewal knowing what that building costs to clean.

Pricing
Contract prices checked against the hours each building takes.
Labor
Crew hours per building, part-timers and the night shift included.
Materials
Paper goods and chemicals by account, so a heavy-use site stands out.
Marketing
What it costs to win a new contract, and which bids to skip.
Overhead
Vehicles, insurance and bonding, next to what other janitorial companies spend.
