Built for concrete
Ready-mix prices move, weather rewrites the schedule, and a pour that felt productive can still lose money by the time the crew is off site. We build the accounting and job costing that show you which work actually pays.
Where the margin actually goes
Productivity per pour is the number that decides your margin, and it almost never appears on a standard profit and loss. We track it at the job level so you can see which crews and which job types are genuinely efficient.
When material prices move mid-season, bids written in February quietly stop working by June. Costing coded as it happens surfaces the drift while you can still reprice.
Rain days are a real cost that rarely gets attributed anywhere. Booked properly, you can see what weather actually costs you in a season and plan reserves against it.
Money earned and money received are different dates. We track receivables aging so a profitable quarter does not turn into a cash squeeze.
The differentiator
Concrete work is fast, weather-dependent and hard to reconstruct after the fact. That is exactly why costs have to be coded to the job as they happen rather than pieced together at month end — by then nobody remembers which load went where.
How we build job costingCommon leaks
None of these are unusual. They are what happens when the work grows faster than the systems underneath it.
The comparison nobody runs
Most contractors assume the alternative to outsourcing is one bookkeeper. It rarely is — the work spans accounting, payroll, AP/AR, compliance and advisory, and one hire covers a slice of it.
The question isn’t whether you can afford us. It’s whether one hire actually solves the problem.
Client results
Running Refined before we had Scott and his team on board to help us out was almost like running blind. We had just had our biggest year, and the little ball we roll was getting too big for me to keep everything in my head — things were starting to slip a bit.
Now we can say with confidence that we know where we stand financially at almost any given time. If we have questions, it’s not hard to get them answered within a day or two.
When you don’t know for sure where you’re at financially, you tend to make poor decisions for your business. It’s not hard at all for me to justify the money we spend with SarokaFi. It’s been a life saver.
I’m on my 4th year running my business. The first 2 years I did not have SarokaFi and was having serious cash flow and cash management problems.
The last 2 years Scott and his team have turned things around, and now I am starting to be profitable and cash flow is seamless. Very highly recommend.
Pricing
This sits in our Accounting Essentials category. We don’t price it à la carte — it’s bundled with the accounting, tax, and advisory support that make it actually work.
