What one readout can surface
Three findings from a single sample fence company analysis. This is the kind of thing the algorithm pulls out of ordinary, imperfect books.
−$241K
A losing segment hiding inside a healthy margin
Blended margin read 30%. Split by fence type, commercial chain-link was losing money on every job while vinyl carried the company.
$3,680
A double-billed invoice nobody caught
The savings monitor flagged the duplicate charge and linked it to the exact transaction. The fix was one phone call.
$1.5M
Cash parked in finished jobs
Profitable on paper, tight at the bank. The readout showed which invoices were aging and which customers to call first.

What if my books are a mess?
Good. That is exactly what StashGrade is built for. The algorithm extrapolates margin by job type and surfaces hidden costs even when your chart of accounts is not organized by segment. You do not need clean books to get close to the right answer.
Do I need QuickBooks?
No. Connect QuickBooks Online in one click, or upload a CSV of your own making, or a QBO export. StashGrade reads whatever you can share.
Can StashGrade change anything in my books?
No. The QuickBooks connection is read-only, and a CSV upload is just a file you hand us. StashGrade can never write to your books or move money.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. The free plan needs a data connection and nothing else. No credit card. Upgrade only when a found leak covers the subscription.
