Job costing, Xero, and cash flow forecasting built for Wisconsin's winter-heavy demand cycles. 100% remote. No local bookkeeper markup.
Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC Market
Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC contractors face one of the most extreme seasonal demand patterns in the country. Heating season runs hard from October through March — and then the summer cooling surge hits in July and August.
That leaves two slow periods: shoulder season in April/May and late summer in September — right when you're least flush and most likely to get caught short.
Our 90-day cash flow forecast is built specifically around this pattern. We model your expected revenue, fixed overhead, and known upcoming costs three months out — Base, Best, and Worst case — so you're never surprised by a slow month that Wisconsin contractors experience every single year.
We work with HVAC contractors across Wisconsin who have the same technical skills as anyone — but haven't had financial systems that actually matched how their business operates.
What We Do for Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC
Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC contractors don't need a generic bookkeeper who handles construction and restaurants. You need someone who knows what a furnace call costs and what April looks like on your P&L.
Bank reconciliation, categorized transactions, and a monthly summary — every month, on schedule. No chasing, no guessing on your numbers.
Track what each job, truck, and tech actually costs and generates. Know your service margin vs. install margin — not just your overall P&L.
A 90-day cash flow model calibrated to Wisconsin's heating/cooling demand pattern. Know in October what April looks like before you get there.
A chart of accounts built for HVAC — service, install, maintenance, equipment. If you're on QuickBooks, we migrate you as part of onboarding.
A monthly Looker Studio dashboard covering revenue trends, job margins, cash position, and key KPIs. Available at a private URL — no spreadsheet required.
100% remote through Xero and Financial Cents. You don't need to be in Baton Rouge or anywhere specific. We handle the books, you run the business.

Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC FAQ
Bookkeeping is 100% remote. Your books live in Xero, documents go through our secure client portal, and we meet by screen-share or call. The location of your bookkeeper doesn't affect the quality of your books — their knowledge of your industry does.
We specialize in HVAC contractor financials. That means we understand Wisconsin's heating-dominated seasons, job costing for multi-tech operations, and cash flow modeling around the shoulder season slowdowns that hit Wisconsin harder than almost anywhere in the country.
We handle bookkeeping — not tax filing. We keep your books clean and organized so your CPA (whether they're in Wisconsin or elsewhere) has accurate records at year-end. If you need a Wisconsin CPA referral, we're happy to help with that.
For bookkeeping purposes, Wisconsin-specific considerations are primarily around sales tax on parts and labor (which varies), and we work with your CPA to make sure your books are coded correctly for clean tax prep.
Louisiana & Wisconsin HVAC contractors often have a strong Q1 (heating season), a slow April/May, a summer cooling peak, and a slow September before the next heating season kicks in. That's two cash-flow dip periods per year.
Our 90-day forecast projects Base, Best, and Worst scenarios based on your actual revenue history and fixed costs. We model it so you can see in August what September and October look like before you get there — and plan accordingly (whether that's a line of credit, adjusted owner draw, or deferred equipment purchase).
It's fully remote and typically takes 1-2 weeks. We get Xero set up with your Wisconsin-specific chart of accounts, connect your bank and credit card feeds, and do a kickoff screen-share call to walk through the system. If you're migrating from QuickBooks, we handle the migration as part of onboarding.
We start with a free 30-minute assessment call where we look at your current books and give you an honest read on what needs to happen.
Yes. We work with HVAC contractors throughout Wisconsin — Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Racine, Kenosha, La Crosse, Eau Claire, and everywhere in between. Being 100% remote means geography within Wisconsin doesn't affect how we work with you at all.
We look at your books, tell you what we see, and give you a straight recommendation. No pitch, no pressure, no commitment required.
