What Makes Plumbing Bookkeeping Different
Tide & Ledger provides weekly bookkeeping, financial reporting, and QuickBooks services for plumbing companies in Tampa Bay. Our founder Andrew Murphy managed operations and owned the P&L for plumbing businesses at Apex Service Partners, a private equity-backed home services firm. We know how plumbing operations actually run.
Service vs. Project Revenue
A drain clearing and a full repipe are completely different financial events. We track service calls and installation projects separately so you can see margin by revenue type. When you know which work is profitable and which is break-even, you can price and schedule accordingly.
Parts and Inventory Tracking
Fittings, fixtures, water heaters, pipe stock. Plumbing companies carry inventory that ties up cash. We track material costs by job so you know your true cost on every project, not just your labor.
Technician Productivity
Labor is your biggest cost. We set up reporting that shows revenue per tech, cost per job, and callback rates. If one truck is producing twice the revenue of another, the numbers make it visible.
Seasonal Demand Patterns
Tampa plumbing sees spikes around freeze warnings, hurricane season prep, and new construction cycles. We build cash flow forecasts that account for these patterns so you can plan hiring and marketing spend against real data.
Subcontractor and Permit Tracking
If you sub out specialty work or pull permits regularly, the paperwork adds up. We track subcontractor payments, 1099 obligations, and permit-related expenses so nothing falls through the cracks at year-end.
