Cole, overhead is def a number you should review at least monthly but that’s not the magic thing.
I think the more important numbers for an owner to know cold are things like:
Gross Rev - have a weekly or even daily sales target. Many don’t .
Gross profit as a % - all your variable expenses and direct labor (subs/w2 crews) should be above the line here. Incidentally, if you know this then you know your overhead too. (You should be trending this)
dLER - direct labor expense ratio which is for every $ you spend on direct labor how much profit comes out the other side?
dLER = Revenue (or Gross Profit)\Direct Labor Cost
Where Direct labor = wages (plus payroll taxes and benefits) of installers and crew members actually doing the roofing.
You can choose revenue or gross profit in the numerator depending on your focus:
•Revenue: focuses on productivity
•Gross Profit: focuses on margin efficiency
1.5 = You’re covering labor and overhead, but margins are tight
1.8–2.2 = Solid performance
2.5+ = Strong labor efficiency, pricing, and crew productivity
For example, if you pay your crew $10,000 and that labor produces $25,000 in revenue, your dLER is 2.5.
I love this metric because it tells you when you’ve got an issue with efficiency, price, or productivity and can be calculated for each job and the business. It also helps with when to hire. And you can do the same for management LER.
Last is over course NOI & cash.
To summarize on a daily/weekly level you should know and monitor these:
Gross rev (daily)
Gross profit %
dLER
NOI
Cash balance

Client: I love ❤️ our @FinDaily_io email
Me: Please tell me more
Client: It is simple and gives me the exact information I want to see. The current month sales vs. goal motivates me. Also, I know what clients to talk about collections before meeting with them
As accountants, we tend to overcomplicate
Our clients typically only look at bank balances throughout the month. Then, when month-end happens, they are frustrated b/c they cannot course-correct
FinDaily provides business owners automatically with a simple snapshot of their business finances so they can be proactive rather than reactive
