How One Handyman Turned His "Tax Stuff" Folder Into a Real Business Strategy
Let’s talk about Chris….
Chris is a hardworking handyman. His calendar was full, his phone was constantly buzzing with referrals, and his toolbox never left his side. But when it came to the business side of things… it wasn’t quite as solid as his drywall patches.
His “bookkeeping system” looked something like this:
Receipts crumpled in the truck’s glove box
Invoices scattered across texts, handwritten notes, and emails
Payments from Cash App, Zelle, checks — no consistent process
And a spreadsheet titled MoneyMaybe2023.xlsx 😅
Chris wasn’t bad at business. He was just busy doing the work. He knew he should be keeping better records, but every time tax season rolled around, he found himself stressed, unprepared, and unsure if he was charging enough to grow.
That’s when he joined the DBR Bookkeeping Online Community — and everything changed.
Within weeks:
He found over $6,000 in missed deductions
Got his invoicing and payment systems streamlined
Started paying himself consistently
And finally had the confidence to raise his prices — backed by real data
Now, Chris is still getting his hands dirty on the job — but behind the scenes, his business is clean, organized, and set up for growth.
