Ando Forecast is a financial dashboard built for pest control and lawn care owners. You connect QuickBooks (or your bank), read-only and about five minutes, and it turns the numbers you already have into clear answers: what's your real margin, where's your cash going, and what should you do this week.

No bookkeeper. No spreadsheets. No finance background required. Here's what it actually does for you.

1. Shows your real gross margin

Most pest and lawn books show a margin that's wrong. Field-tech labor gets filed as overhead instead of cost of service, so your margin looks 8 to 12 points higher than it really is. Ando catches that automatically, corrects it, and shows your real margin against your industry benchmark (pest control healthy range: 50–55%). You stop pricing jobs and making hires off a number that's lying to you.

2. Surfaces money you've earned but haven't collected

There's usually $5,000–$15,000 sitting in overdue invoices that nobody's watching. Ando pulls your overdue A/R into one list, oldest first, with the customers to chase, so collecting it is a five-minute task instead of a report you never open.

3. Catches silent cost creep

Vendors quietly raise your monthly rates and most owners never notice. Ando watches your recurring charges and flags it the moment one changes ("your fleet-tracking subscription jumped from $312 to $389 a month"), so you can renegotiate or switch before it's locked in for another year.

4. Tells you what to do, not just what happened

This is the part QuickBooks was never built for. Every morning, Ando gives you a plain-English brief: here's where you stand, and here are the two or three specific moves to make this week. It's grounded in real pest and lawn benchmarks, not boilerplate advice. It answers the only question that matters: what do I actually do?

What it doesn't do

It's read-only. It never moves your money, sends payments, or edits your books. It connects through Plaid and QuickBooks with bank-level encryption. It sees your numbers to give you insight; it can't touch a thing.

See it on real numbers, in about 5 minutes

The fastest way to understand the value is to look at it. The live demo runs on a sample pest control business, no signup and no card. Then connect your own QuickBooks and see your real numbers, free for 14 days.

Pest control benchmark: 50–55% healthy gross margin, roughly 58% industry average (NPMA / PCO Bookkeepers).
