Financial operations for the trades
Most contractors don't, and it isn't their fault. The field software holds the job data. QuickBooks holds the money. True job-level profit lives in neither, so bids run on gut, the numbers arrive six weeks late, and the year-end surprise keeps showing up.
Bayman is a financial operations firm that works only with home services contractors. We close your books by the 10th and put one page in your hand: what you actually made, by job, by crew, and by service line.
The service
Books closed by the 10th on a contractor-specific chart of accounts. No mystery categories. We clean up what's there before the first close, included.
One page each month: true margin by job, by crew, and by service line, drawn from your field software and your books together.
Thirty minutes, plain English. What made money, what lost it, and the one thing to change next month.

The name
The clammers and oystermen of Long Island built a living with their hands and weighed every catch at the dock. They knew exactly what the day had earned them, every day. We grew up on the Island, and we hold our work to their standard.
Most contractors work as hard as any bayman ever did, and have no idea what they made on the last job. We fix that.
The principals
Commercial
Strategy and transformation consultant to mid-market operators and private equity backed companies. Has spent years inside businesses where the numbers couldn't be trusted, fixing exactly that. Long Island born and raised.
Operations & Systems
Builds the systems that close the books fast and pull true job costs out of the field software. The reason a two-person firm can outdeliver a ten-person one. Long Island born and raised.
