Hearth and fireplace contractors face a financial reality most advisors don't understand — revenue that spikes in fall and winter, a slow spring and summer, and a business model that demands year-round planning for a condensed selling window.
These are the conversations we have with every hearth contractor that comes to us.
Cash peaks in Q4 and craters in Q2 with no financial plan to bridge the gap — just hope and a line of credit.
Install revenue looks great in October. But when product cost and labor are both in the mix, do you know your real margin?
You need to see product margin and install margin separately. Most books don't show that — ours do.
Part-time installers in peak, lean crew in the off-season — payroll fluctuates and errors follow.
If your books close late, you're making next year's decisions blind — inventory, staffing, pricing.
Service calls and warranty work keep you busy in spring, but are they actually covering your overhead?
The seasonality, the product-plus-labor margin structure, the off-season planning challenge — these aren't issues a general bookkeeper handles well.
Clean books organized around how your business actually works — install jobs, service calls, product margin, and warranty work categorized correctly every month.
Seasonal staff, part-time installers, full-time techs — your payroll fluctuates with the calendar. We manage it accurately whether you're running a lean crew or fully staffed for peak.
We build the cash flow models that tell you what you need in the bank before peak season starts, what you can afford in Q1, and what your true profitability looks like year-round.
Year-round visibility into your business with dashboards built for a hearth contractor's seasonal reality.
No ripping and replacing your workflow. We integrate with the platforms your team already runs on.
We don't prepare tax returns. We partner with your existing CPA and make their job easier by handing them clean, accurate books every time — so the tax conversation is about strategy, not cleanup.
