Back-office for trades businesses

You are good at the work. The books, the payroll setup, the contractor paperwork, the "how much can I actually pay myself" question: that is our trade. We run the financial back office for owner-operated trades businesses so the owner can stay in the field.

What we take off your plate

• Full bookkeeping across bank, card, and payment platforms, reconciled monthly
• A monthly close with reports in plain language: what came in, what went out, what it means
• Payroll coordination for employees, and compliant contractor payments (W-9s collected before anyone gets paid, 1099s handled at year end)
• Owner pay planning: draws, salary, taxes set aside, and a personal savings target that the business actually supports
• A finance partner for the big decisions: equipment, vehicles, property, insurance

What it looks like in practice

One of our clients is a fence company that grew from cash-in-the-truck bookkeeping to a fully reconciled operation: fourteen months of history cleaned, a monthly close that lands by the 15th, contractor compliance handled, payroll structured, and the owner working from a real plan for his own pay and savings. That playbook is repeatable, and it is what we bring to every trades engagement.
