Every clean should pay you too.

In a maid service, margin moves a point at a time. We do the books, taxes and payroll and coach you on the two numbers that move it: cleaner pay and price.

Payroll is most of the business.

Hourly pay, drive time between homes, overtime and tips all run through payroll. A small change in any of them moves your margin, and a month-old report shows it too late.

  • Recurring clients and one-time cleans

    Weekly and biweekly clients keep the schedule full, while deep cleans and move-outs pay more per visit. Lumped into one number, they hide what each kind of work earns.

  • Supplies and mileage

    Cleaning products and mileage are small per visit and big per year, and they belong in your prices.

  • Employees or contractors

    How you classify cleaners changes your payroll taxes and your liability, and it's cheaper to get right up front.

The big questions

  • Are my prices keeping up?
  • Can I give the team a raise?
  • Do deep cleans pay better?
  • Where's the drive time going?
  • Can I afford a second team?

We watch the cleaner hour.

Your specialist checks revenue per cleaner hour against what you pay, so you see a squeezed margin while it's one point instead of five.

Pricing
Recurring and deep-clean prices checked against cleaner wages.
Labor
Revenue per cleaner hour, drive time between homes included.
Materials
Supplies per visit, so a price increase shows up the month it happens.
Marketing
What a new recurring client costs to win, and how long they stay.
Overhead
Booking software, insurance and bonding, compared with other cleaning companies.
