Eight painting contractors share how specialized bookkeeping transformed their finances. Clients report doubling revenue, growing from $1M to $3M, saving $25,000 yearly, and finally understanding their numbers well enough to focus on painting instead of paperwork.
What was your state of bookkeeping and accounting experience before you worked with us?
A mess, I think. My bookkeeping was not great.
We were doing everything through QuickBooks, just like we are now, but we were using a firm that has very little communication.
Our previous experience was not great, and our books were in a really bad place when we came on this.
After you signed up with us, what specific results have you got? The numbers and metrics are 10 times clearer to us.
Our bookkeeping is always done on time. You know, I know I can trust the numbers. If I had to put it in one word, I'd say clarity.
And you doubled in the last year.
Yeah.
It pays for itself and then some. It really does. Even when— even if you only do a couple hundred thousand a year.
One of our philosophies is If you want to grow as a company, find the experts in that area and get them to help you. The biggest value that I see is you help us with strategy moving forward according to industry standards, and that really helps us to plan and grow and with confidence. I think that we know numbers and, uh, a lot better than did before.
Basically all the things he's put in place help a lot of our systems communicate with each other. And so I would say that Daniel saved me close to at least $25,000 per year with the things he has put in place.
Tax time is easier every year.
Become more profitable too, based on some of the advice.
For me to sign up for Bookkeeping for Painters and take that off my plate and not have to focus on it and then be able to focus on the skill set that I am good at, my revenue went up.
Who would you recommend us to? I mean, you can be recommended to lots of different folks. I mean, We have a $3 million company. When I started with you guys, we probably had a million-dollar company or less annual revenue, and I was an owner-operator. I was doing everything but painting. And that, that's a great solution for folks in that situation, and I think it works in my situation. We're doing $3 million a year, and you're still in the background doing things that still freed my mind up to focus on other things that generate revenue and money.
People who are doing their own books and know they're not doing it right. And then even people who may have a bookkeeping service already but are looking for someone who knows the trades.
I would recommend you guys to any one of our peers in the service industry. Any painting contractor.
All the painting contractors.
