Ando Systems for General Contractors

You bid the job. You built the job. Now find out if you made money on the job.

Most GCs find out their margin was wrong at the end of the project, when there is nothing left to do about it. Ando connects to QuickBooks and shows you the numbers in real time, not after the fact.

Get Started Sound familiar?
34%
Average gross margin for GCs running without job-cost tracking. Benchmark for profitable remodelers is 47 to 50%. The gap is not luck. It is data.
3 of 4
Remodeling projects experience material cost overruns. Most are discovered at project close. Ando flags them mid-job, when you can still issue a change order.
18 days
Average days-to-invoice for GCs without a billing system. Every day you wait to invoice is a day you are financing the client's project at zero interest.
The Problem

Contractors run some of the most complex small businesses in existence. Most manage them with a spreadsheet and a gut feeling.

Change Orders
Verbal agreements that never get invoiced
The client asked for something extra. You said yes. It never made it onto paper. You absorbed the cost. Ando flags scope changes and un-invoiced work before the job closes.
Cash Flow
Revenue on paper, empty accounts in real life
You are profitable on paper. The bank account tells a different story. Draw schedules, slow-paying clients, and subs to pay create a cash timing problem that looks fine until it does not.
Job Costing
Material overruns absorbed instead of billed
Lumber went up 18%. You knew. The estimate did not. The difference came out of your margin. Ando compares estimated vs actual costs per job, in real time, not at closeout.
What Ando Does

A financial dashboard built around how a GC business actually works.

1
Job-level profit and loss
See actual vs estimated margin per project. Updated as costs come in. No waiting until the job is done to find out you lost money on it.
2
Cash and A/R visibility
Cash on hand, outstanding draws, overdue invoices. Updated from QuickBooks daily. Know exactly where you stand before you commit to new work.
3
Change order and scope tracking
Flag work that was done but not invoiced. Know which projects have open scope conversations. Stop absorbing costs that should be client charges.
4
Client retention and referral system
Three-month check-in, six-month value email, twelve-month re-engagement. Keeps past clients connected and generates reviews and referrals without you having to remember to ask.
Ando Insight Example
Three of your last four jobs had material overruns averaging 22% above estimate. No change orders were issued on two of them. Based on your current pipeline, unaddressed overruns represent roughly $14,000 in margin leakage over the next 90 days. One conversation with your materials supplier or one change order process fixes most of this.
Who This Is For
GCs running $500K to $5M in annual revenue
Too complex for a shoebox and a spreadsheet. Not yet big enough for a full-time CFO. Ando fills that gap, connecting your QuickBooks data to decisions you can actually make.

It pays for itself or you do not pay.
