Bookkeeping and financials for a window cleaning company
Most window cleaning owners know their revenue and guess at everything else. That is survivable at 45 jobs a month and dangerous the day you add a second truck, because a second truck can lose money quietly for six months before it shows up in the bank balance. Clean books tell you your real average ticket, your gross margin per job after crew and fuel, and how much of each marketing channel came back.
Without them, deciding whether a $30 lead is fine or fatal is a feeling. The typical mess is one bank account for the business and the house, pole and filter receipts in a shoebox, and a tax return built in April from a stack of paper. After two weeks the books are current and categorized, and you get a one-page monthly summary showing revenue, cost per job, marketing spend and profit, so the marketing decisions have numbers under them.
