Plumbing · Michigan
Plumbing bookkeeping that tells you which truck makes money.
Most plumbing books stop at the company total. That total hides the truck that is carrying the business and the one that is eating it.

Plumbing bookkeeping for Michigan contractors
In Michigan, plumbing carries a real freeze exposure: a hard cold snap brings a wave of burst-pipe and freeze-break emergency work that arrives all at once and pays fast. It is good money and it wrecks the schedule, so the books need to separate emergency work from scheduled work to show whether the after-hours premium actually covers the disruption it causes.
We handle monthly plumbing bookkeeping for residential and commercial plumbing contractors nationwide. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month, and a US CPA review and sign-off on every file before you see it.
A plumbing bookkeeper who understands the trade tracks the things that actually decide whether you made money: profit per truck and per tech, emergency call-outs separated from scheduled work, and the constant flow of supply house tickets that otherwise never make it into the books at all.
What is different in Michigan
Michigan makes this trade harder than average.
Season and demand
Long, severe winters make heating the dominant load, and the cooling season is short. Freeze-thaw cycles drive burst pipes and emergency call volume that arrives all at once rather than steadily.
The market
A repair and replacement market with older housing stock and a substantial industrial base. Seasonality is sharp enough that shoulder-season cash planning matters more here than in warmer states.
Tax and entity context
Michigan applies a flat personal income tax rate. Several cities levy their own local income tax on top, so businesses operating across municipal lines have an extra layer to handle correctly.
We work with plumbing contractors throughout Michigan, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Ann Arbor and Lansing.
What we build into your books
The three things that change first.
Profit per truck
Revenue and cost tracked per vehicle and per tech, so staffing and routing decisions rest on a number rather than a feeling.
Emergency versus scheduled work
After-hours calls price differently and cost differently. Separated, the real margin on each shows up.
Parts and receipts off your plate
Supply house runs, counter tickets, the receipts in the console. Captured and categorized without you touching a spreadsheet.

No card, no contract, and the work is yours to keep either way.
