The Back Office Your Fire Protection Company Is Missing

Inspections, new installations, and service calls. Three revenue streams with three margin profiles, tracked separately.

You Know Your Trade. You Shouldn't Have to Know Accounting Too.

Fire protection companies have a uniquely balanced revenue model: recurring inspection contracts, new sprinkler installations, and reactive service/repair work. Each has different margin profiles and different cash flow patterns. Most fire protection financials don't separate them, which makes it impossible to know where to invest for growth.

We build the financial reporting that separates your revenue streams, tracks job-level costs on installation projects, and gives you visibility into the true profitability of your inspection routes.

Fire Protection

Built for How Fire Protection Companies Actually Work

Inspection vs. Install vs. Service

Recurring inspections are your most predictable revenue stream. New installations have the highest margin potential but longer timelines. Service is reactive and variable. We separate all three.

Code Compliance and Permitting

Inspection reports, code upgrades, and permitting costs are job-level expenses. We allocate them properly so your job margins reflect reality.

Recurring Revenue Visibility

Your inspection contracts are the foundation of your business. We track renewal rates, route profitability, and customer lifetime value.
