Booked solid but the bank account doesn’t show it?

Four exports from QuickBooks or Jobber: invoices, timesheets or payroll, material costs, and your monthly overhead. Takes about 20 minutes. That’s your whole part of the job.

What an hour of crew time actually costs you: the wage plus payroll tax, workers’ comp and downtime (usually about a third on top), plus your overhead spread across real crew hours. Most operators price off the raw wage — that gap is where the money leaks.

Then you pay nothing. The audit is guaranteed to find more recoverable margin than it costs, or it’s a full refund. In practice, a busy operator who has never job-costed has leaks — that’s not a knock, it’s just what happens when you’re on the mower instead of in the spreadsheet.

Usually not. The list comes back kill / keep / reprice, and most “losers” become keepers at the right rate. You decide who stays — you just decide it knowing what each one actually pays you.

Yes. If you can export invoices and payroll, that’s enough — rebuilding the cost picture from imperfect records is most of the work. Messy books usually mean bigger leaks, which means the audit pays for itself faster.

Because a blanket raise overcharges your good work and still undercharges the bleeders. Job-level costing shows which services and clients are below breakeven, so you raise exactly where the loss is and leave your winners alone.

No. Every tier is buy-now — pay online, send your four exports, and the clock starts. The free 20-minute call is there if you want to talk first, and if you start with the $1,500 X-Ray, the entire $1,500 still credits toward the Audit.
