Done-for-you bookkeeping and financial intelligence — built specifically for pest control owner-operators. So you finally know your real numbers, stop running a job, and run a business that operates while you sleep.

No pitch deck. No pressure. We'll look at your books and tell you straight whether we're a fit — or where to go if we're not.
You run a pest control company. You're past the start-up phase. You've got 1 to 5 trucks, somewhere between $200K and $3M in revenue, mostly recurring routes — and you're growing, but you can feel the friction. We don't work with dentists or contractors or coffee shops. Pest control is what we do.
You probably:
Here's the pattern we see in nearly every pest control company between $200K and $3M.
Mixed categories. Missing reclassifications. Recurring and one-time revenue blurred together. Chemicals booked under "supplies." Truck payments living in three different places.
Your CPA sends it in April, when it's already too late to act on it. You never see your real operating numbers — revenue per hour per truck, cost per service, churn, callbacks, which service line actually pays the bills.
Most owners can't tell you their CAC or which channels are producing recurring customers versus one-time jobs. You're flying blind and burning cash.
Because the finances feel foggy, you can't trust the team to make the calls you'd make. So you keep doing them yourself. The business never becomes a business.
"They can't let go. They can't trust anyone else can do it as well as they can — and they can't get out of the truck. A lot of guys don't realize what running a business is. Really, all they've done is create themselves a job." — Ryan B., 2-year operator
Financial clarity is what makes it safe to let go. That's what we sell.
We take over QuickBooks Online and rebuild your chart of accounts to track what actually matters in pest control: recurring vs. one-time revenue, chemicals, fleet, marketing, payroll, by service line. We close monthly, on time. You don't open QBO.
We pull data from QuickBooks plus your CRM (FieldRoutes, ServiceTitan, PestPac) and surface the metrics pest control owners actually care about: revenue per hour per truck, cost per service, recurring revenue growth, AVC, churn, callbacks, payroll-as-percent, marketing ROI, cash flow.
You don't just get a bookkeeper. You get a pest-control-fluent partner who tells you what's working, what's leaking, and what to do about it next quarter. We benchmark you against similar operators and coach you toward exit-ready books — even if you never sell.
"Where I could see it being interesting is more on the insights side. Highlighting where we're outperforming industry benchmarks, identifying areas we might be leaving money on the table, surfacing trends around recurring revenue, seasonal demand, route efficiency." — James, established operator
Pick the tier that fits where you are right now — you can move up or down anytime, no annual contracts, 30-day notice to cancel. Most growth-stage owner-operators start at Base, then move to Scale or Strategy as their books and routes grow.

A 1-hour working session in your first month. We walk you through your reports, your Pest Control KPI Snapshot, and the highest-leverage moves you can make with your numbers to scale.
Most operators come to us with books behind. We catch you up — fully reconciled and reclassified — covering up to three months of historical bookkeeping at no additional cost. Standard cleanup elsewhere runs $2,500–$5,000+.
We're so confident in what this delivers that we put our money where our mouth is. Work with us for 90 days. If you can't honestly say one of the following —
"I have clearer visibility into my numbers than I've ever had,"
"I've gotten back time I used to spend on bookkeeping or financial guesswork,"
or "My decisions about pricing, hiring, or marketing have gotten sharper" —
we refund 100% of what you've paid us. No invoice arguments. No clawbacks for the work we did. You keep the catch-up books, the chart of accounts rebuild, the dashboard, and the strategy memos.
We only win when you do.
Most clients do switch their bookkeeper. We handle the monthly close in QuickBooks; your CPA stays for taxes. We hand them a clean package every January with a strategy memo. They love us — we make their job easier.
That's the norm, not the exception. Bonus #2 covers up to three months of catch-up at no extra charge. Most operators come to us 6–18 months behind. We've seen worse.
Yes. The CRM-to-financials bridge is the single highest-value thing we do. If you're using something more obscure, we'll figure it out — we've built around stranger setups.
Starter is for solo / 1-truck operators under $200K who want to graduate from DIY. Base is $200K–$500K. Scale is $500K–$2M. Strategy is $1.5M+. If you're below $200K and one truck deep, we'll be honest with you — DIY QuickBooks is probably still the right move. We'll tell you that on the call.
Because the right answer depends on your truck count, revenue, CRM, and how messy the books are when you arrive — and we'd rather give you a real number than a generic one. Book a 20-minute discovery call. You'll have a precise quote in your inbox the same day.
Day 1: Kickoff call. We get access to QBO, your CRM, and payroll. Day 1–30: Catch-up + chart-of-accounts rebuild. Day 30: First monthly close delivered. Day 60: KPI snapshot live. Day 90: First strategy session. By month four, you're running your business off your numbers, not your gut.
Yes, anytime, with 30 days' notice. We don't lock you in. The pitch is that you'll want to stay because the work is paying for itself — not because of a contract.
We only work with pest control. That means a chart of accounts built for routes and recurring revenue, KPIs built around revenue per hour per truck and gross margin by service line, and benchmarks against operators just like you. A generalist bookkeeper gives you a clean P&L. We give you a clean P&L plus a partner who actually understands your business.
No pitch deck. No pressure. We look at your books, your CRM, and your numbers, and tell you — straight — whether Eight Five is the right fit. If it's not, we'll point you somewhere it is.
