A contractor revenue audit maps exactly where your business is leaking profit and what systems need to exist before you can scale.
Every roofing company that plateaus hits one or more of these. They're not market problems — they're infrastructure problems.
Everything runs through the owner or 1–2 key employees. The business can't grow beyond what those people can handle.
Hiring doesn't scale because new people can't be trained fast. Quality varies because there's no process — just tribal knowledge.
Decisions are made on gut feel because the data either doesn't exist or isn't trusted. Marketing spend, close rates, and job margins are guesses.
Revenue grows but margins shrink because overhead scales faster than systems. More jobs, more problems, less profit per job.

Five areas of your business, mapped for efficiency, leakage, and scaling bottlenecks.
Where are your leads actually coming from? What's your cost per booked job by channel? Which channels are generating revenue and which are generating activity?
What's your close rate on estimates? Where do leads go cold? What does your follow-up process actually look like in practice vs on paper?
Where does work pile up? What does your production scheduling, job costing, and crew management look like? Where is the owner the critical path?
Where are you leaving money on the table? Unconverted estimates, dormant past customers, uncollected change orders, and margin erosion from poor job costing.
What systems need to exist before you can scale? What does the org chart need to look like at $10M, $20M, $50M? What breaks first if you double revenue tomorrow?
The systems that got you to $5M won't get you to $15M. At some point, the owner is the bottleneck, the informal processes break, and adding revenue just adds chaos. Scaling past that ceiling requires building documented systems and an org structure that doesn't depend on any one person.
The most common: owner approval required for too many decisions, no documented estimating process creating inconsistent margins, production scheduling that lives in someone's head, and no formal onboarding that makes new hires effective quickly.
If your revenue is growing but profit is flat or shrinking, if you're working more hours than ever but not feeling ahead, or if you can't clearly answer 'what's my cost per booked job and my close rate by channel' — you need an audit.
It requires four things: a documented sales process with CRM enforcement, a scalable production system that doesn't depend on the owner, a marketing engine with full attribution, and financial infrastructure (job costing, cash flow management, reporting).
