We started with Quickbooks for all of our estimates, invoicing and book keeping. I was doing book keeping my self, but when i was doing my first year taxes, my tax person offered to do bookkeeping. I agreed. Also all of our projects were residential, but as we grew, we naturally grew with the systems, and you gradually adapt. By the way, Quickbooks got really fancy recently, until now it always glitched and didn’t have much interface

@Tod Craig not really just facing the reality of my mistakes, hopefully i learn the lesson

@Tod Craig had a wall through, customer was very honest and understanding, i had to correct some items, but it could have been avoided.

1. Residential- from repeat customers, very little new construction but mostly remodeling from higher end general contractors. 2. Service work comes from Google, also from repeat customers since we have been in business for 2.5 years- its mostly residential about 60% residential - 40% commercial 3. We recently started to bid on work in the commercial sector, its very competitive, we have been using building connected but thats about it. (Thats all we know) i would say right now we have about 4 of the smaller commercial projects so far. ( we got 5 electricians and a estimator) 4. 5.

Perhaps, look for a guy that can do part time. Youll be amazed how things can fall into place with more work.

At times to understand the idea of “low balling” or being “cheap” you come to moment that you realize you’re probably working for some bad contractors that do not care, and you get the sense that the work you're doing is also not worth anything. If that makes sense.
