Bookkeeping for Ohio contractors.

• Tax and entity context

  Ohio applies graduated personal income tax rates, and many municipalities levy their own local income tax on top. Multi-city operations need that local layer handled correctly rather than assumed away.

• Season and demand

  Cold winters and warm summers produce genuine two-peak HVAC demand. Winter also drives episodic emergency plumbing work from freeze events.

• The market

  A mature market with a large replacement and repair base rather than growth-driven new construction, and a substantial industrial and commercial sector.

We work with contractors across Ohio, including Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron. 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.
