Challenges We Solve for Service Businesses
You're Busy But Not Sure You're Profitable
Revenue looks good. You're fully booked. But at the end of the month the bank account doesn't reflect it. The gap between billing and profitability is where most service businesses leak money — through scope creep, under-pricing, and overhead that quietly grows.
Pricing Based on What Competitors Charge
You Googled 'average hourly rate for [your industry]' and added 10%. That's not pricing strategy — that's hoping. Your costs, overhead, and target margin are unique. Price from YOUR numbers, not the market average.
Feast or Famine Cash Flow
Great months followed by terrifying months. Project revenue is lumpy. Retainers smooth it out but not everyone has them. A 13-week forecast turns the panic cycle into a planning cycle.
Not All Clients Are Worth It
Your biggest client might be your least profitable. The one who always has 'just one more change' or pays 60 days late. Know your customer profitability — then decide who to grow and who to fire.
The Hiring Question: Can I Afford It?
A $65K employee costs $90K+ after benefits, equipment, and ramp time. And they won't generate full revenue for 3-6 months. Make sure you can float it before you make the offer.
