From $4M to $9M: an established contractor scaling up with books that keep pace
An established contractor brought us on for book reviews and consulting when they were doing about $4 million a year. In the years since, revenue has more than doubled, to roughly $9 million a year.

revenue more than doubled
The challenge
An established contractor adding crews, trucks and jobs, and needing numbers that keep up with the growth.
What we did
Ongoing book reviews and business consulting, so the numbers stay reliable as the company grows.
The result
Revenue more than doubled, from about $4 million to roughly $9 million a year.
The challenge
This wasn't a startup. The company had been in business for years and was already doing about $4 million a year. But growth brings its own accounting problems: more crews, more trucks, more jobs running at once, and more money moving through the business every week.
At that size, the owners needed books they could trust every month, not just at tax time, so they could see which work was paying off and plan hiring, vehicles and equipment with confidence.
What we did
- Took over regular reviews of the company's books
- Regular book reviews, so errors get caught and the numbers stay accurate as volume grows
- Ongoing consulting with the owners as they added crews, vehicles and work
- Financial insight the owners use to plan for growth with confidence
The result
Since we started reviewing their books and consulting with the owners, revenue has grown steadily, from about $4 million a year to roughly $9 million, more than doubling. The owners have kept adding crews, vehicles and work with numbers they can rely on.
