The Real Problem
Most trades operators are skilled craftsmen running an accidental business. The financial side — pricing, tracking, taxes — was never taught. So they guess. And guessing costs a fortune.
Underpricing Every Job
Quoting from gut feel instead of math means you're working hard for other people's profit. Most trades operators discover their real rate needs to be 30–50% higher.
No Expense Tracking = No Control
When you don't know what you're spending, you can't spot leaks. Busy months can hide the fact that you're barely breaking even.
Tax Surprises Every Spring
Self-employment tax hits hard — both sides of Social Security and Medicare. Without a set-aside system, you'll spend money that belongs to the IRS.
Everything in the Kit
Everything a solo or small trades operation needs to run its finances like a pro — without a bookkeeper or an accounting degree.
A 30-page plain-English playbook covering every financial system a trades business needs. Written for the field, not the office.
A fully formatted Excel & Google Sheets tracker with auto-summing category totals, live YTD profit/loss summary, and pre-built formulas.
Enter your labor hours and material cost — your full quote calculates automatically, including markup, margin, and a rounded suggested price.
Two final tools: a print-ready professional invoice with auto-calculated totals, and a quarterly tax estimator that tells you exactly what to set aside and when to pay.

Real Results
I've been doing electrical work for 11 years and I was still pricing jobs like I did on day one — gut feel and what sounded fair. The MVR calculation in Chapter 1 hit me like a truck. I was $40/hr under where I needed to be. Raised my rates two weeks after downloading this. Haven't lost a single client worth keeping.

+$40/hr rate increaseI was dreading tax season every year — always owed way more than I expected. I followed the quarterly tax section, opened a separate savings account, and transferred 28% of every payment the same day. When April came this year I actually had MORE than enough in that account. Total game changer.

Zero tax surprise this yearRunning a 3-man landscaping crew and the invoicing was a total mess — some clients paying late, some not at all. I added the deposit structure from Chapter 5 and the late payment clause to every invoice. Collections went from 45 days average down to about 9 days. Worth 10x the price.

Not at all. The playbook is written for tradespeople, not accountants. Every concept is explained in plain English with worked examples. If you can read a job quote, you can use this system.
The playbook is a PDF — readable on any phone, tablet, or computer, and printable. The spreadsheet tools come as a single .xlsx file that works in both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets (free).
The playbook's job pricing formula and the tax planning system work independently of any software — they're frameworks, not apps. Many QuickBooks users grab the Playbook + Job Pricing Calculator specifically to improve their quoting. The tracker is for those who don't use accounting software.
Yes. The system works for any independent trades operator or contractor: electricians, plumbers, HVAC, landscapers, painters, carpenters, roofers, handymen, and others. The pricing formula and tax system apply regardless of the specific trade.
30 days, no questions asked. If you open the playbook and it doesn't immediately make your pricing and finances clearer, email us and we'll refund every dollar. We're confident you'll get immediate value — but you're not risking anything to find out.
The tax section (Chapter 4 and the Tax Estimator tab) uses US self-employment tax rates and IRS quarterly payment dates. The pricing system, tracker, and invoice template are universal. International buyers find the pricing and tracking tools fully applicable — just skip the US-specific tax figures.
