Bookkeeping & CFO services
Books kept by people
who have run the shop.
Thirty years owning collision repair shops, thirteen locations, four exits. We keep books the way a shop needs them kept — daily CCC exports, WIP adjustments, warranty reclassifications — and we plan the way an owner needs to plan. Every engagement begins with a discovery call.
Comprehensive Assessment $950 · CFO services from $795/week · Full-service bookkeeping by application
Bookkeeping
The foundation, done daily.
Daily CCC exports into QuickBooks
Sales land in the books every day, categorized the way a body shop P&L should read — so CCC and QuickBooks sales agree.
Reconciliation
Bank and credit card reconciliation, daily or monthly. Payroll recording and expense tracking.
Month-end & year-end
Compiled management reports: WIP adjustments, A/R and A/P audits, cash-flow statement, cost reclassification, P&L audits. Year-end close with final adjustments.
Industry-specific detail
Warranty reclassifications, prebate buy-downs, depreciation and amortization — the lines a generic bookkeeper doesn’t know to look for.

How an engagement starts

30 minutes, complimentary.
Where the shop is, what’s in the way, and whether we’re the right fit. Nothing here is self-serve — it starts with a conversation.
The teardown.
CCC configuration review, data-flow optimization, chart of accounts review, P&L and balance sheet analysis, and a roadmap. Credited toward CFO services on engagement.
Designed for your shop.
Menu services, partial bookkeeping, CFO services from $795 per week (six-month minimum), or the full white-glove Crunchit 100.
The problems we usually get called about
Sound familiar?
Insurance pays slowly and cash is always tight.
A/R aging by carrier, a collections rhythm, and a cash-flow forecast that knows which weeks are thin. Most shops shorten collection time by 10–15 days.
I can’t tell which jobs or techs make money.
Job-level and technician-level profitability from your own management reports, paired with the books — the two lenses Crunchit Analytics is built on.
I’m deciding whether to open a second location.
Expansion feasibility with real numbers: capacity, cash, DRP mix, and what the first year of the new shop does to the first one.
My accountant doesn’t understand collision repair.
That is the whole reason Crunchit exists. We work exclusively with auto body shops.
