Home Service Pros: Are Your Finances Causing You Stress?

As a home service business owner—whether you're a contractor, landscaper, HVAC tech, cleaner, or handyman—you’re always on the go, juggling jobs, scheduling clients, and keeping up with equipment and labor.

But what about your business finances?
Are they just as organized as your service calendar?

If you’re like most home service professionals I work with, you’ve probably said something like:
“I know I’m working hard… but I have no idea where the money is going.”

You might be:

  • Guessing whether you’re actually making a profit

  • Feeling anxious when tax season hits

  • Struggling to price your jobs accurately
