Number Nailers: Bookkeeping and administration for the trades

Bookkeeping for plumbers

A plumbing business runs on a lot of small tickets and a few big jobs. That means a steady stream of invoices to send, supply-house bills to match, and truck costs that add up fast. I keep all of it current so you can see what each kind of work really makes you.

What I handle for plumbers

Wendy Ballou, Chief Nailer

  • Invoices prepared and reminders sent
  • Supply-house bills entered and payments scheduled
  • Bank and credit card accounts reconciled monthly
  • Job cost reports: budget next to actual cost
  • Monthly financial statements and a review call

What makes plumbers’ books different

  • Lots of small invoices

    Service calls add up to a long list of invoices. Every one has to go out, and every one has to get paid. Reminders keep the slow payers from slipping through.

  • Supply-house bills every week

    Parts get picked up job by job. Matching those bills to the right job is the only sure way to know if a job made money.

  • Service work vs. bigger jobs

    A repair call and a full bathroom rough-in don’t earn the same way. Job cost reports show which work pays best.
