Problem
You're generating revenue. But do you know your actual margin?
Most service business owners know their bank balance. Few know their real margin by job type, by crew, by client, or by service line. That gap is where profit disappears.
Margin inconsistency in service businesses comes from:
- No job costing — labour, materials, and travel not tracked per job
- Pricing that hasn't been reviewed against current costs
- Rework and callbacks absorbing margin silently
- Staff utilisation gaps — hours paid vs hours billed
- Cash managed reactively rather than against a forward-looking model
What ScaleKorp installs:
- Job costing framework — margin visible at job level, not just EOFY
- Pricing review methodology — are you actually charging enough?
- Weekly financial cadence — a 30-minute weekly number that tells you where the business stands
- Forward-looking cash model — capacity and cash managed proactively, not after the fact
- Rework tracking — so margin leakage from callbacks is measured and reduced
