For Owner-Operators in the Trades

You didn't start this business to
sit behind a desk.

But somewhere between chasing invoices, guessing at your margins, and drowning in admin work — that's exactly where you ended up. Turns out "I'll look at the numbers later" is not a financial strategy. We checked. Ando Systems handles the business side so you can get back to the job you actually started this thing for.

Get Started Sound uncomfortably familiar?
14 days
How much faster contractors get paid when they invoice within 24hrs of job completion. Most wait weeks. The construction industry is essentially running on an honor system — and it is costing you.
20–30%
Reduction in days-to-payment when invoicing and follow-up are automated. Which is a polite way of saying your clients are using you as a bank — and you didn't even charge interest.
1 in 3
Businesses where repeat clients are under 25% of revenue report losses. Most contractors don't track this number. We show it to them anyway.
Sound Familiar?

The business is running you. Not the other way around.

You're good at what you do. The problem isn't skill — it's that nobody taught you the business side, and there's never been time to figure it out. Mostly because you've been too busy to look up.

😤
"I'm always busy but never sure if I'm making money."
Revenue looks fine but cash is always tight. Jobs finish and invoices go out late — or not at all. Busy and profitable are not the same thing. Most owners find this out at an inconvenient time.
📋
"I spend more time on paperwork than on the job."
Admin, invoicing, follow-up, chasing payments — none of it is what you built this business to do. It's eating your evenings and, to add insult to injury, it isn't making you any money either.
🤷
"I have no idea where my money goes until tax season."
Your accountant sees your business four times a year. We thought monthly might be more useful. Revolutionary concept, we know — but here we are.
The Fix

Less admin. More clarity. Zero extra work on your end.

Ando Systems connects to your QuickBooks, figures out what's actually happening in your business, and tells you what to do about it. In plain English. On your phone. Without you having to ask — or pretend you were about to.

1
Know where your money is — right now
Cash on hand, what you're owed, what's overdue, how your margins are tracking — pulled automatically from QuickBooks. No spreadsheets. No waiting for your bookkeeper. Just the answer, which turns out to be the useful part.
2
Find out which jobs are actually making you money
Most contractors know exactly which jobs they enjoy. Ando tells them which ones are profitable. Occasionally these overlap. Either way, now you know.
3
Get alerted before problems become expensive
Invoice going 30 days without payment? Margin slipping? Cash running low? You get a text before it becomes a crisis. Not after — when the options are worse and the conversations are harder.
4
One action every month. That's it.
Not a 40-page report to interpret over the weekend. One specific thing to do, chosen because it'll have the biggest impact that month. We're not going to tell you your business is broken. We're just going to show you the numbers and let you reach that conclusion yourself.

It pays for itself or you don't pay.
If your first Ando Insights report doesn't identify at least one clear opportunity to recover more than your setup fee — through faster invoicing, overdue collections, or margin improvement — we'll refund it in full. No questions asked. We've yet to look at a contractor's books and find nothing. We're not bragging. We're just saying the bar isn't high.
Get Started

Stop running your business
from your gut.

Your gut is great at estimating how long a job takes. Less reliable on cash flow trends and margin by job type. Setup takes one hour. First insight in 7 days. We'll let the numbers do the talking — they're less polite than we are.
