How I help

Monthly BookkeepingKeep the books in order so you can focus on running the business.- Bank and credit card reconciliations
- Organized financial records
- Accurate monthly reporting
I'll take care of the bookkeeping details so you know where things stand without spending your evenings figuring it out.

Job Costing & ProfitabilityKnow what your jobs are really costing you.- Labor, materials, and subcontractor costs
- Job profitability tracking
- Work in progress (WIP), progress billings, and retainage
I'll help you see how individual jobs are performing - not just whether the business made money overall.

Financial Clarity & SupportNumbers you can understand - and actually use.- Financial reports explained in plain English
- Help identifying what deserves attention
- Straightforward answers to your questions
You shouldn't have to become an accountant to understand what's happening in your business.

Your Books Can Be Technically Correct and Still Not Be Useful

Maybe your books are up to date, but you still can't tell which jobs are making money.Maybe your business is busy, but the bank balance doesn't seem to reflect all that work.Or maybe the bookkeeping gets done, but it's taking time away from other things that need your attention.You don't necessarily need more reports.You need the right information - and someone who can help you make sense of it.

Meet Tracey

30+ Years Explaining Business Finances in Plain EnglishI've spent more than 30 years working behind the scenes in businesses that keep things running - from electrical contractors and supply houses to automotive dealerships and diesel repair shops.I've handled the books, payroll, job costing, and all the financial details that go into running a business. I know how much work happens between getting the job and actually making money on it.Now I'm bringing that experience to independent contractors and trades business owners who want more than a set of financial statements. I help you understand what's happening with your money, which jobs are profitable, and where you might need to pay attention.And I believe you should be able to have a conversation about your numbers without needing an accounting degree - or feeling like you should have one.
