Tools We Build
Most of our work is helping specialty contractors pick and run the right software. But when we kept hitting the same problem with no good tool to solve it, we built one. That tool is StashGrade.
Where StashGrade Came From
Mike spent two decades in IT infrastructure, integrations, fintech, and construction SaaS, much of it working alongside private equity buyers and the companies they bought. The pattern was hard to miss. Owners who knew their financial health cold and ran a tight operations playbook exited for eight figures. Owners with the same trucks and similar revenue who didn't exited for seven.
Most owners in the specialty trades are missing the same two things: a financial snapshot they can read at a glance, and a straight answer on what to do with it.
Every However We Got Here engagement started the same way — pull the books apart, find the leaks, set the baseline. Mike was running that same diagnostic by hand for every client. So he built it. StashGrade is that diagnostic: it reads the books, grades the financial health of the business, and points at the next decision. A calibration tool you can run every week.
