What you get
Everything StashGrade does, the moment you connect
You run the jobs. StashGrade reads the books you already keep and tells you where the money is going and what to do about it. Here's the whole picture.
QuickBooks, CSV, or QBO export. Read-only.
One grade for the whole business
FreeAre you making money, or just staying busy?
The moment you connect, five things get scored: profitability, cost discipline, cash, growth, and operations.
You see the grade, the points behind it, and the next three moves in order. Each move says how many points it is worth.
When an area needs more history before it can be scored, it says so instead of guessing at a number.
Stop the money leaks
Free · alerts on ProThe bills nobody is watching
A vendor creeps your rate up. A bill gets paid twice. You're still paying for a tool nobody uses. None of them is big on its own, but together they add up to real money every month.
Spending shows what you pay on repeat, what is worth your time this month, and the exact invoice to call about.
Which jobs actually pay
FreeYour busy season might be your worst season
Your overall margin looks fine, so you keep bidding the same way. Split it by job type and one line is losing money on every job, dragging the rest down.
StashGrade shows you which work carries the company and which to reprice or walk away from. Try it on a sample company below.

Actions to take ranks the week's moves by dollar impact. In Reports you describe the report you want and it gets built from your KPIs.
What's the single biggest lever for me this quarter?
Collections, by a mile. Your margins are fine, so do not touch pricing yet. Tightening terms and chasing the oldest invoices frees about $90K of cash and moves your grade to A−. Here is the order to work it.
In reports
- Describe the report you want and it gets assembled from your KPIs.
- Or build your own layout and save it for next month.
- Actions to take ranks the week by what each move is worth in dollars.
