Sales by day and hour
Every transaction from the last 8 weeks, averaged into one grid. Owners use it to set staffing, prep and promo timing.
Same-store sales vs last year, by week
Each row is a location, each column a week. Red streaks show a problem early, before it shows up in the monthly P&L.
Budget vs actual, monthly P&L
The monthly package: revenue against budget, a clean variance table, and three sentences on what changed and why.

Before you ask.
Can I really pay weekly?
Yes. The monthly price is split into 52 weekly payments by ACH autopay, so the yearly total is the same. Weekly billing helps businesses that get paid weekly match their costs to their cash coming in.
What if my books are a mess right now?
That's most of our clients on day one. Catch-up work for past months is quoted separately and up front, before we start, so there are no surprises.
Which software do you work in?
QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite for accounting. For sales data we connect to most point-of-sale and e-commerce systems, including Square, Toast, Clover and Shopify.
Do you do taxes or payroll?
We don't file tax returns. We hand your CPA clean, closed books at year end, which usually lowers their bill. We reconcile payroll each period and work with your existing payroll provider.
Who sees my numbers?
Only your assigned accountant and analyst. Every sample on this site has client names removed and figures changed, and we sign an NDA before seeing any of your data.
What if I outgrow my plan?
When your revenue moves into the next band, we let you know and move you up at the start of the next quarter. Nothing changes without a conversation first.
Give us 30 minutes. We'll show you what your books are hiding.
Tell us a little about your business. We'll reply within one business day with times for a call and the plan that fits.
