Stay focused on the jobs—not the paperwork.

Built for owners who are busy in the field

This service is designed for contractors and small-business owners who do not need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time office manager, but who still need the business handled consistently.

If you are an excavation contractor, remodeler, landscaper, trucking operator, cleaning company, repair service, or any owner who is doing the work and also trying to run the company, this is the help that keeps things from falling through the cracks.

What we help you stay on top of

Emails, leads, and follow-up

Leads, estimates, bids, and customer questions do not wait until you have time. We help track what came in, what went out, who needs an answer, and what needs to be followed up on so work does not get lost and customers do not go quiet.

Job files, paperwork, and billing

• Organized job files that keep estimates, contracts, change orders, photos, invoices, and notes together
• Invoices sent on time and tracked until they are paid
• Insurance certificates, subcontractor paperwork, and project records kept current and easy to find
• Change orders documented and followed up before they become disputes

Customer communication and scheduling

• Scheduling and customer-communication support so people know when you are coming and what to expect
• Project updates, confirmations, and closeout communication handled professionally
• Review and referral follow-up that helps turn finished jobs into the next ones

Knowing where the money is

• Basic job-cost tracking so you know which jobs made money and which did not
• Billing status, outstanding invoices, and cash-flow visibility
• Basic profit-and-loss review in plain language
• Organized information ready for your bookkeeper, accountant, insurance agent, or payroll provider

Systems that do not depend on your memory

• Business forms, checklists, and simple standard operating procedures
• Office workflows for how a job moves from first call to final payment
• A clear picture of what is sold, what is in progress, and what is coming next

Payments, financing, and equipment

• Ongoing coordination of merchant-services, payment-processing, and customer-financing needs with qualified providers
• Help organizing information for equipment purchases, financing applications, and major business investments
• Research and sourcing assistance when the business needs equipment, vehicles, machinery, tools, or other operational assets

Getting ready for bigger work

• Support preparing for commercial, municipal, or larger-contract opportunities
• Organization of the documentation, insurance, and qualifications larger customers ask for
• When a large project lands, Solid Ground can add project-specific contract and project-management support for that job

How the support is structured

Support is built around the work you actually have. It can be structured monthly, by a defined scope of work, or around a specific need, and it can grow as the company grows.

1. Start with a business review. We look at how the work, paperwork, and money are flowing today and where things are getting missed.
2. Set up the right support. We put the systems in place and agree on what Solid Ground handles and what stays with you.
3. Stay beside you. Regular check-ins, accountability, and practical problem-solving as the business moves forward.

You run the jobs. Solid Ground stays beside you on the business side.

You do not need another person telling you what you should do and then disappearing. You need someone who understands the field and helps keep the business side moving every month.
