Do you own or run a plumbing, heating, electrical, roofing or another construction trade business?

Here are four simple steps that you can take today to improve your revenue and profit.

1. Identify Profit and Cash Flow Drivers

In the world of construction contracting, revenue and cash flow drivers are two major factors that determine the financial success of a firm. Revenue drivers such as leads, conversion rates, retention rates, job frequency, and average job value all contribute to the bottom line. Meanwhile, cash flow drivers like accounts receivable balance, inventory balance, purchase or sale of assets, fluctuations in debt, and investments or withdrawals from the owner all play a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy cash flow. By identifying these profit and cash flow drivers, construction firms can make informed decisions to keep their financials on track and ultimately, drive long-term growth.

2. Create 'Targets' for Profit & Cash Flow Drivers

The next step is to set targets for your profit and cash flow drivers. This will help you to measure your progress and see how much you need to improve in each area.

3. Measure and Track Against Business Targets

Once you have set targets, you need to measure and track your progress. This can be done using financial reports or other performance indicators. By tracking your progress, you can see how well you are doing and identify any areas where you need to make changes.

4. Create an Action Plan

The final step is to create an action plan. This should include a list of specific actions that you need to take to improve your profit and cash flow. It should also include a timeline for each action and who is responsible for each task. By having an action plan, you can make sure that you are taking the right steps to improve your business.

These are just four steps that you can take to improve your business. Our firm can help you implement these steps in your business and guarantee that you have a clear path to increasing revenues and profits.
