Overhead can feel invisible… until it starts eating your profit alive.

You’ve got rent, insurance, trucks, tools, admin salaries, phones, marketing, software, and subscriptions — and each one seems small until you add it up.

Before you know it, you’re working hard just to feed the machine.

Here’s what I tell my clients: every dollar you save on overhead drops straight to the bottom line. You don’t have to cut everything, but you do have to cut smart.

Start by asking:

• What expenses have crept up without review?
• Are you paying for tools or software you don’t use?
• Is your truck fleet overbuilt for your current workload?
• Are you overstaffed on admin?

A contractor I worked with was doing $1.2M/year — but with $560K in overhead. We audited his expenses and discovered he was paying for three overlapping software tools, underutilizing two employees, and carrying a $900/month office lease he barely used. We trimmed $84K in annual costs without cutting a single job or crew member. His net profit jumped by 7% — instantly.

Cutting overhead isn’t about being cheap. It’s about protecting your profit and making room for growth.
