Business Services
Contract, crew, and margin discipline for companies that deliver services to other businesses and consumers.
Business services companies win on reliability and relationships, and they lose money quietly. A recurring maintenance contract priced three years ago no longer covers today’s labor. A design-build project runs over on materials and nobody knows until the invoice is closed. Crews are scheduled by instinct, equipment is replaced when it breaks, and the P&L shows a healthy top line with a margin nobody can explain.
Buxbaum works with landscaping, facilities, security, staffing, logistics, managed IT, and other outsourced service providers, serving commercial clients and high-end residential customers alike, to put the numbers behind how the business actually operates. We connect scheduling, job cost, and billing data to the general ledger so leadership can see margin by contract, by project, and by crew rather than waiting for a company-wide P&L.
What We Offer Business Services Companies
- Margin reporting by customer, contract, project, and crew, separating recurring service work from project and installation work so each is priced and managed on its own economics
- Revenue recognition for recurring service contracts, project and design-build work, and change orders under ASC 606, including deferred revenue, unbilled work, and percent-complete estimates
- Labor and crew productivity analysis covering billable hours, route density, overtime, and loaded labor cost against contract pricing
- Contract pricing and renewal analysis so escalators, scope creep, and labor inflation are recovered rather than absorbed
- Equipment and fleet accounting with utilization, maintenance cost, and replacement planning tied to the cash forecast
- Cash forecasting built around seasonality, contract billing cycles, project milestones, payroll, and equipment commitments
- Field service, scheduling, and finance systems integration (Aspire, ServiceTitan, Jobber, or similar) with QuickBooks or NetSuite so time, materials, and invoicing reconcile to the GL
- Quality of Earnings and diligence support covering recurring versus project revenue, contract retention, customer concentration, owner compensation normalization, and cash-to-accrual conversion
