When things start working, the “believers” come out of the woodwork. LOIs are in hand, but we’ll do $150k in profit this month. Should I feel conflicted about whether a sale makes sense or not?

3 months ago, hitting our $3M annual revenue target would have seemed impossible. After closing a $280K deal today, hitting that target seems impossible NOT to hit. A year ago, we acquired a middling roofing company doing $1.4M in revenue and sub-5% EBITDA margins. Now, we are…

This month we’ll do $150k in profit 🔥 We’re back! One word to all the operators out there, drop the colleagues who produce drag. Do it now. Don’t wait. It’s uncomfortable, but you have to do it.

The question still remains… How much work can one CFO do at a startup? Is a team even really necessary once you have a full stack of integrated software all linked together?

What is the highest conversion roofing sales pitch right now? Is it no pitch at all and just being the highest ranked person on Google or AI? Or is it just the lowest price? What’s really working right now?

As many of you know, my firm bought a roofing company last year. I've found that collections have become a bigger and bigger issue over the last few months. I've also noticed that collections from commercial clients are often much slower than with residential clients. What have…

Fund the police now! I've seen cops in SF let people steal until I called them out on it to their face. I've reported crimes to Sacramento PD, CHP, and the Sheriff's Department only to be told that they won't do anything about it because it puts them at risk of liability. I've…

I’ve been considering getting a controller for the roofing business who controls the finances and all decisions must be approved by this individual. Their entire job would be tracking and approving spend.

Weekends seems to be the best time to meet a husband and wife to make a large home services sale. My sales people want open weekends. This seems like a big missed opportunity.

It's only in CA where the exclusion of a county coverage page results in a 10% penalty fee! Egregious money grab. Great work, Sacramento County. Let's make it even less appealing to operate in CA.

The longer I’m a CFO, the more I prefer the benefits of @AmericanExpress over any other corporate card. Lounge access and benefits galore. Multiple cadences allowed to pay including daily payment of account balance. Seamless integration with my ERP. Sure, the annual fee is…

More on the @justcall_io issues. They charged us tonight during the port-out process. They know full well that this process takes 10-15 days. I requested on recorded calls-that I also recorded-for them not to charge us again during this porting process, to which they agreed.…
