Operations audits for Phoenix service businesses
You know what you billed last month. You don't know what you missed.
More work in.
The calls, quotes, and past customers that are already yours to win.
Less money out.
The software nobody uses and the work you pay people to do twice.
Your week back.
The hours that go to typing, chasing, and remembering.
We sit down with you here in Phoenix, work through your own call logs and quote records, and put a dollar figure on what's slipping through. Then we build the systems that catch it — and we run them.
The audit is a paid engagement, not a free consultation — which is why the findings are honest instead of shaped to sell you something.
Our commitment
$25,000
is the least we expect to find you're leaving on the table each year.
Calculated from your own call logs, quote records, and close rate — not a projection, not an industry average, and not a percentage we made up.
If we work through your operation and can't find it, you don't pay for the audit. You keep the written findings either way.
The jobs you lose never show up on a report.
Nothing in your business is set up to count what didn't happen. See how many of these you recognize.
The phone goes to voicemail
You can't answer from a crawlspace, and you can't answer with a patient on the table. The caller doesn't leave a message. They call the next name on the list, and you never learn they existed.
Quotes go out and nothing comes back
The estimate went out Tuesday. Nobody followed up Thursday. That job was already bid, already scoped, already costed — and it's sitting in somebody's inbox going cold.
Years of customers nobody has called
Every name in your system is somebody who already trusted you enough to pay you once. Most of them would again. Almost none have heard from you since.
The schedule has holes nobody fills
Two no-shows and a last-minute cancellation. Those are billable hours you already paid staff to be available for, and there was no time to work the list.
The usual answer is to spend more on ads and buy more leads. That's more calls arriving at the same broken bucket. Fix the bucket first — it's cheaper, and the leads are already paid for.
How it works
We count it before we fix it.
Nobody knows your business the way you do — which customers pay on time, which jobs are worth chasing, which week in July you'd rather not repeat. We're there to ask enough questions to understand how the work really moves, then bring the technology to it. You know the business. We know the tools. Neither half is worth much alone.
Discovery call
A working session, not a sales pitch. You do most of the talking — where jobs come from, what happens to them after that, and which parts of the week you dread.
The math
We map the operation end to end — intake through payment — and put a number on every place the work stalls or an hour leaks out.
The Leak Report
A written document that opens with what the problem is costing you, then what we'd build about it. Yours to keep, and you could hand it to someone else to implement.
Review session
We walk the numbers together and you push back where we've got it wrong. Then we decide what's worth doing. Some of it you may want to handle yourself. That's fine.
Then we build it, and we run it.
If the work makes sense, we build it. Then we keep managing it — monitoring, fixing, improving as your business changes. You don't get handed a login and a manual.
What an audit turns up
The section above is what it feels like. This is what it costs. These are the shapes the arithmetic usually takes — yours will use your own numbers.
Calls that went to voicemail
Forty a month is common for a shop with no after-hours coverage. At a thirty percent close rate and a $450 average ticket, that's roughly $65,000 a year in work that dialed your number first.
Estimates with no second touch
A roofer sends twenty quotes a month and follows up on none. Recovering one in ten — work already bid, already scoped — is two dozen extra jobs a year at no acquisition cost.
A customer list nobody works
Eight hundred past customers, none contacted since the invoice. A reactivation that converts two percent is sixteen jobs from people who already trusted you enough to pay once.
Slots that stayed empty
A practice losing six appointments a week to no-shows, with a waitlist nobody has time to call. At $85 a visit that's north of $26,000 a year in hours you already paid staff to be available for.
Costs and hours get counted the same way — the software nobody uses, the information typed three times, the invoicing that lands at nine at night.
Who you're working with
You shouldn't have to care about AI.
You should care about three numbers: what's coming in, what's going out, and how much of your week you get back. Which tool we reach for is our problem. The three numbers are yours.
Process first, tools second.
Twenty-five years inside one of the world's largest technology companies, on one question: how work moves through a business, where it stalls, and what it costs when it does. Support, process reengineering, customer success, program management — different titles for the same job.
Sometimes the answer isn't AI.
Sometimes it's a form, a checklist, a different order of operations, or a feature already sitting unused in software you pay for. We'll tell you when that's the case, even though it's the cheaper answer for you and the smaller job for us.
We stay after we build.
Most firms sell software, hand over the keys, and disappear. Then it breaks in August and you're troubleshooting between calls. We monitor what we built and keep tuning it — and we're here in Phoenix, in person, same time zone.
Owner-operated service businesses around the Valley, roughly two to twenty people.
Home services trades
HVAC, plumbing, roofing, garage door, landscaping.
Small practices
Chiropractic, physical therapy, dental, wellness clinics.
Businesses that quote work
If jobs get bid before they get booked, there's money in the gap.
Not a fit if you're booked out so far that more work would be a burden, if you're after marketing, ads, or SEO, or if you'd rather nobody looked closely at the numbers. The audit only works if it's honest.
