Stage 1 · Fixed-fee diagnostic
We look before we build.
A few weeks. Your systems, your money flow, your reports. You get a memo that says what’s broken, what it’s costing you, and what to fix first. You keep it either way.
How it runs
Three weeks, one memo.
Systems
What you run, what it records, and where it disagrees with itself.
Money flow
Your system versus your bank. Every dollar in and out, matched.
Reports
Whether the reports you read are true. Usually one big finding here.
What’s broken, what it costs, what first
Plain words. A number on each finding. A short order of work.
What you get
The memo.
The Read · FindingsYours to keep
Three things we found
- Your shop system’s summary report doesn’t match its own job records. Revenue is overstated by about 4%.
- Three fleet accounts are priced below your real labor cost. About $2,400 a month.
- Technician hours aren’t attributed, so payroll can’t be checked against billed work.
What to fix first
- Reconcile the shop system to the bank (Books).
- Approval rule for fleet pricing (Controls).
- Technician field made mandatory (Reporting).
Found: ~$2,400 / month · Fee: less than that
Fixed feeQuoted before we start. No hourly billing, ever.
You keep the memoFix it yourself, hire someone else, or hire us. It’s yours.
The guaranteeIf the Read doesn’t find more than it costs, you don’t pay for it.
Nothing to tidy firstMessy is the normal starting point. Tidying up is most of what we’d be doing anyway.
The memo above is an example, not a client’s. Yours will be about your business.
