These prices are a starting point for comparison. What a job includes will affect its price. They are not quotes for your work and do not measure how much revenue your business is losing.
Where the numbers come from
These industry sources provide context for the estimate. They are not clients, and their inclusion does not prove that we have recovered revenue. The calculator's current basis is provisional.

The problem
The work is there. Where is the margin?
Your team is busy and the jobs are getting done. So why doesn't the cash match the effort?
Your dispatch board shows the work. Your invoices show what you billed, and your bank records show what came in. Together, they help explain where the margin went.
01 / Demand
Which enquiries never become paid work?
02 / Capacity
Which paid hours never become billable hours?
03 / Margin
Which busy days leave too little behind?
We connect those records and put a dollar value on each gap so you can choose what to fix first.
Inside the audit
Four layers. One connected business.
A missed booking can leave a truck idle. A full schedule can still lose money. We look at how these four parts of your business affect each other before ranking the findings.
01 / Booking
Demand is only the beginning.
We follow enquiries through estimates and bookings to completed jobs, looking for where potential work is lost.
- Call records
- Estimates
- Booked and completed jobs
02 / Dispatch
A busy truck is not the same as a productive day.
We compare crew schedules with drive time and completed jobs. Gaps between visits or work assigned to the wrong truck can leave paid hours unbilled.
- Crew schedules
- Drive time
- Job duration and completion
03 / Pricing
Follow the margin through every job.
We check the price book against labour, materials and final invoices to see which jobs contribute margin and which leave too little behind.
- Price book
- Labour and materials
- Invoices and job costing
04 / Retention
The next visit belongs in the same picture.
We check customer history, follow-up and maintenance plans for missed repeat work. We also compare expected recurring revenue with what customers actually pay.
- Customer history
- Follow-up activity
- Maintenance plans
These diagrams explain the method. They do not show customer results or your benchmark estimate.
Who this is for
Is this the right audit for your business?
We run three or four audits at a time. All four managing partners participate in every audit, which takes three weeks. Fit matters more to us than the fee.
This is for you if
- You do $2M to $20M and you own the place
- HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or a mix
- You use a dispatch or CRM system, even if the records need work
- Books in QuickBooks or Xero, roughly current
- Something feels off and you cannot name it
This is not for you if
- Under $2M in revenue, outside this audit's scope
- Over $20M in revenue, outside this audit's scope
- Your records are entirely on paper, with no system data to reconcile
- You want us to agree with a decision you have made
- You want implementation included in the audit
How it works
Three weeks. A clear next move.
We interview the people running the business, then check what they tell us against the records. The findings become a plan ordered by priority. Open each step for more detail.
01Listen to the people.
We speak with the owner and the people responsible for operations and finance. Where their accounts differ, we look more closely.
The starting point- Owner interviews
- Operations
- Finance
What this gives us
A set of specific questions to test against the records.
02Follow the evidence.
We connect dispatch, CRM and job costing, then reconcile what the records show with what the interviews said.
What we connect- Dispatch
- CRM
- Job costing
What this gives us
Findings that can be traced back to the work, the invoice and the source.
03Put the next move first.
We put a dollar value on each gap, compare it with the benchmarks, and identify what to address first.
What you leave with- Ranked leak list
- Margin Integrity Score
- 90-day roadmap
The handover
A source line under every figure and a plan your team can run without us.

What changes when less is recovered?
You may not win back every missed booking. Lower the recovery level to see whether booking should still be a priority.
Choose how much of each opportunity is recovered. The sample leakage stays fixed.
The ranked answer
Dispatch comes first.
The sample points to dispatch. Follow paid crew hours through to completed, billable work.
$96,000 of $211,000 in the adjusted example — 45% of the total.

What stands behind itOperating-system precedent
Thirty locations. No system. We mapped all of it.
30locations mapped
$20–50Mannual business revenue
Ldgerlythe resulting system
Before Anchorfield, we mapped and rebuilt the operating system of a thirty-location wholesale business doing $20–50M a year. We interviewed every decision maker and traced how the business actually worked, including where information stopped reaching the people who needed it.
That work became Ldgerly. It checks receiving against orders and tracks inventory by location. Transfers stay open until both ends confirm them. It also covers delivery through customer sign-off, returns, and reconciliation against QuickBooks.
Our experience comes from another trade.
The distinction that matters
No Anchorfield audit has been delivered to a home services company yet. You should hear that from us.
And we find $200,000 or you pay nothing.
What this costs separately
You could buy the pieces. Here is what they go for.
| The same work, bought separately | Market rate |
|---|---|
| Fractional CFO, three months | $9,000 – $21,000 |
| Trade benchmarking membership, one year | $5,000 – $8,000 |
| Operations consulting engagement | $10,000 – $50,000 |
| The Revenue Audit | $10,000 |
These figures are published market rates that you can check.
Pricing
The Revenue Audit
$10,000
A fixed, one-time fee with no tiers. It pays for a complete diagnosis, with no obligation to buy further work.
Let’s find the gapIf we do not find at least $200,000 in recoverable revenue, the audit is free.
The complete scope
- Full data pull across dispatch, CRM and job costing
- Interviews with owner, operations and finance
- Four dimensions scored against trade, revenue band and region
- Dollar-ranked leak list and a Margin Integrity Score
- 90-day prioritised roadmap, plus a walkthrough call
Three or four engagements at a time. Ask about current availability.
The guarantee
If we don't find at least
$200,000
in recoverable revenue, you pay nothing for the audit. You will not receive a partial refund or credit toward future work instead.
The threshold is a fixed dollar amount above the audit fee. It is the same whether your revenue is $2M or $20M.
The only thing you risk is about two hours of your team's time.
Questions
Why would I pay $10,000 when other firms will audit my business for free?
Our fee pays for the diagnosis itself. You receive a complete report and roadmap whether or not you hire us to implement it.
What do you actually need from me?
Interviews with you, operations and finance, plus exports from dispatch, CRM and job costing. The data pull is about an hour.
What if you don't find $200,000?
You pay nothing for the audit. The threshold is $200,000, rather than a multiple of our fee.
Do I have to hire you to fix what you find?
No. The roadmap is written for your operations manager to run without us.
What happens to my data?
We use your identifiable data only for your audit. Benchmark comparisons use aggregates and never identify a company.
