Bookkeeping for Missouri contractors.

• Tax and entity context

  Missouri applies graduated personal income tax rates. Kansas City and St. Louis both levy a local earnings tax, so where the work is performed affects what is owed.

• Season and demand

  Hot summers, cold winters and a genuine severe storm season. Hail and wind events drive concentrated surges of insurance restoration roofing work, often compressed into a few weeks.

• The market

  Two substantial metros at opposite ends of the state with a large rural service area between them, which makes drive time and route density a real cost rather than a rounding error.

We work with contractors across Missouri, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia and Independence. Everything runs remotely and through scheduled calls, so where you are in the state makes no difference to how quickly you get answers.

• HVAC

  I was doing books at the kitchen table at 11 at night after a full day of service calls. My wife finally told me it wasn't sustainable. First month ADB took over, they found $12,000 in expenses I'd never categorized right — parts, fuel, the works. I got my evenings back and I found out I'd been underpricing my maintenance agreements for two years.

• HVAC

  In summer we're drowning, in winter we're wondering where the money went. Nobody I'd worked with before understood that rhythm. These guys built the books so I can actually see what my slow months cost me, and now I plan for them instead of panicking in February.

• HVAC

  Honestly I said yes because the first month was free and I figured I'd get what I paid for. Then I got the report back and it was cleaner than anything my last bookkeeper sent me in 5 years. I signed on the same week.
