Weak job costing
Recent 15 jobs blend to 34.9% gross margin — the dashboard reports 39.4% and falling. Nobody is costing jobs the day they close.
Five interactive tools, built on sample data for a fictional $5.2M roofing company. Walk the cause and effect yourself: job costing → gross margin → the 13-week cash picture.
Sample data. Northside Roofing Co. is a fictional company, not a client. These tools show the shape of the work; they are not client results.
Recent 15 jobs blend to 34.9% gross margin — the dashboard reports 39.4% and falling. Nobody is costing jobs the day they close.
10 of 15 jobs land below the 38% floor. Subbed storm work runs 10+ points under in-house crews. It never shows up until the P&L.
13-week forecast shows 4 weeks below the cash threshold. The margin leak became a cash crunch — one quarter later.
Read in sequence, the sample tools show the chain an operations assessment looks for in your own numbers: where margin leaks, and how long before it reaches cash.
Six leading indicators, monthly revenue vs. gross margin, AR aging, the lead-to-cash funnel — the operating picture an owner never gets in one place.
Per-job revenue, full cost stack, and live GM% scoring. Watch margin leak job by job — and see where it is coming from.
Roll your cash position 13 weeks forward. Change one number and watch the model recolor — that is the difference between flying blind and seeing the wall.
Weighted revenue forecast from your live deals, with aging flags and cuts by stage, rep, and lead source.
A 10-KPI weekly scorecard, quarterly rocks, an IDS issues list and to-do tracker — the operating cadence that runs the business.
