COSTS AND MATERIALS
Today, you discover losses when it's too late
✕
You don't know if a job is profitable until you look at the final invoice
✕
Actual hours exceed budget and nobody warns you
✕
Materials cost more than planned and you find out at closing
✕
You don't have different margins per client — you charge everyone the same

Someone makes small purchases to skip the boss's approval

The cost spreadsheet gets updated once a month, if that
