Plumbing Bookkeeping
Most plumbing owners are making decisions on financials that are wrong.
Cash-basis books that mask your real margins. A chart of accounts that lumps all revenue together. Zero connection between ServiceTitan and your P&L. Your financials don’t tell you which service lines, techs, or job types actually make money — and that’s costing you real dollars. We fix all of it.
What we see with most plumbing companies’ books
Cash-basis books hiding real profitability
A big repipe payment clears and revenue looks great — but the materials were purchased weeks ago and the labor was last pay period. Cash-basis accounting masks your true margins and makes it impossible to compare yourself to industry benchmarks.
ServiceTitan data sitting in a silo
You have thousands of completed jobs in ServiceTitan with revenue, cost, and tech performance data — but none of it ties to your QuickBooks. Your bookkeeper reconciles bank statements. They never touch your operational platform.
No visibility into what’s actually profitable
Service calls, new construction, drain cleaning, and commercial work are all lumped into one revenue line. COGS doesn’t separate parts from labor from subcontractors. You can’t see gross profit by department — so you have no idea which side of the business is making money and which is dragging you down.
Financials delivered too late to act on
By the time you see last month’s numbers, you’ve already made this month’s decisions blind. Plumbing companies with seasonal swings and fluctuating job mix need timely financial visibility — not a stale report from your tax preparer.
Plumbing bookkeeping built for operators, not tax preparers
Accrual-Basis Monthly Financials
See your true profitability every month — not a cash-basis P&L that spikes when a big repipe payment clears and crashes the next week. We deliver accrual-basis financials closed within 15 business days, with revenue matched to when it was earned. This is the standard PE buyers expect, and it’s the only way to benchmark your margins accurately.
PE-Standard Chart of Accounts
Know exactly which service lines and departments make money — and which ones are bleeding margin. We restructure your chart of accounts to separate service vs. new construction vs. drain vs. commercial revenue, break COGS into parts, labor, subcontractors, and equipment, and deliver department-level P&Ls. This is the same structure used by PE-backed platforms and the standard top industry coaching groups build to.
ServiceTitan ↔ QBO Integration
End the mystery of why ServiceTitan and QuickBooks show different numbers. We reconcile revenue, job costing, and tech performance data from ServiceTitan to your QBO general ledger every month — so your financial statements actually reflect what’s happening in the field.
Accounts Payable & Receivable
Stop losing money to missed bills, late payments, and aging receivables nobody is chasing. We handle vendor bill entry, payment tracking, aging management, and collections follow-up for commercial accounts — so cash doesn’t leak through the cracks.
Payroll Reconciliation
See the true labor cost by department — not just total payroll. We reconcile commissions, spiffs, tech comp, and office salaries to the right departments every month. When comp is allocated wrong, your department margins are wrong, and you can’t tell which crews are profitable.
Monthly Financial Package
A financial package you can actually use in your Monday meeting. P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and a management summary that tells you what changed, why it changed, and what to do about it. Not a 30-page PDF nobody reads — a focused brief built for operators.
