Your Profit Partner for Service Businesses
More than bookkeeping. More than accounting. Abacus is a profit focused team that thinks like business owners.
For over a decade, we’ve been on a mission to help service businesses—contractors, landscapers, pool builders, and remodelers—go beyond just “keeping the books.”
For over a decade, we’ve been on a mission to help service businesses—contractors, landscapers, pool builders and cleaners, remodelers, HVAC pros, plumbers, restaurant owners, and mechanics—go beyond just “keeping the books.”
We believe you deserve more than reconciled numbers at tax time. You deserve a partner who helps you understand your numbers, trust them, and use them to grow your business, pay yourself more, and build the freedom you’ve been chasing since you started.
At Abacus, we don’t just crunch numbers in a spreadsheet. We roll up our sleeves, get to know your business, and help you assign every dollar a purpose—so your money works for you, not the other way around. We guide you through big decisions like:
- Can I afford that new truck or hire?
- How much should I set aside for taxes or the slow season?
- When will I finally get paid what I’m worth?
We’re here for it all. And we’ll be here as your business grows because we’re more than your bookkeeper. We’re your profit partner.
