The problem
Stephen had no real bookkeeping. Supplier invoices piled up in the inbox, Xero was always weeks behind, and there was no way to see profit and loss on any individual project. Every build's true position was a guess until it was finished.
I couldn't tell you what any single project was making. Now I open Ready Team and it's just there — every job, every dollar, up to date.

The result
Betty now does the books daily. Every supplier bill is captured the moment it arrives, coded to the right job, and synced to Xero automatically. Stephen sees live per-project P&L on every build, and approving a week's worth of bills takes minutes, not a weekend.
