POV: Your accountant starts talking and you haven’t got a clue what they’re saying… 😂

So let’s fix that.

📈 Gross Profit Margin – What’s left after you’ve paid for doing the job.

💷 Net Profit – What’s left after you’ve paid for *everything*. This is what you actually get to keep.

💸 Cash Flow – Money in, minus money out. You can make a profit and still run out of cash.

🚧 Work in Progress – Jobs you’ve started but haven’t finished (or invoiced) yet.

📅 Debtor Days – How long your customers take to pay you. The longer they take, the more they’re using your money.

🎯 Break-even Point – The amount of sales you need before you make your first pound of profit.

📊 Gross Margin per Job – How much money each job actually made you. Turnover means nothing if every job loses money.

📋 Budget vs Actual – What you thought was going to happen… versus what actually happened.

None of this is complicated.

People just give simple business ideas complicated names.

Which one did you actually not know? Be honest…👇

There’s a tax bill due 31st July that catches people out every year and it’s not the one you think. If you’re a sole trader or a director filing Self Assessment, here’s what you need to know about your second Payment on Account.

👀 Here's a scary thought...

Your busiest jobs could actually be your least profitable.

We see it all the time.

A landscaping business looks incredibly successful from the outside:
🌿 Fully booked
🚚 Teams out every day
💰 Healthy bank balance

But when we dig into the numbers...

Some jobs are making 50% margin...
Others are barely making 15%.

The problem?

Nobody notices until the accounts are prepared months later.

By then, another year's profit has already disappeared.

📊 Busy and profitable are not the same thing.

👉 Read our latest blog to discover the five numbers every landscaping business should be reviewing this July.

🚨 Being busy doesn't mean you're on track.

July is one of the busiest months for many landscaping and trades businesses.

The diary is full.
The team is working flat out.
Money is coming into the bank.

So everything must be going well… right? 🤔

Not necessarily.

Being busy tells you how much work you've got.

It doesn't tell you:
❌ Whether your jobs are actually profitable.
❌ Whether your margins are shrinking.
❌ Whether your overheads are creeping up.
❌ Whether you're on track to hit your goals.

That's why July is the perfect time for a numbers check-in.

Don't wait until your year-end accounts tell you what you should have done.

Most landscaping businesses don’t have a sales problem, they have a cashflow problem.
