💧 MONEY LEAK WEDNESDAY

A quick supply run, parking fee or small material purchase may not seem like much—but those untracked expenses add up.

Missing receipts can make a job appear more profitable than it really was.

The fix: Have your crew photograph every receipt, note the related job and submit it the same day.

Track it. Keep the receipt. Protect your profit.

Finishing the job doesn’t mean the money has reached your bank account. 💰

Delayed invoices, missing job details, undocumented change orders, and inconsistent follow-up can leave valuable revenue uncollected.

📰 TRADE NEWS THURSDAY

Georgia trade professionals have new construction codes coming.

Beginning January 1, 2027, Georgia will implement updated building, residential, plumbing, mechanical, fuel-gas, fire, and electrical codes with state amendments.

Contractors should start reviewing the changes now—not when a permit or inspection is already on the line.

Review the official updates from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs:

💧 MONEY LEAK WEDNESDAY

A completed job doesn’t improve your cash flow until the invoice is sent.

Today, take a few minutes to:

✅ Review completed work orders
✅ Send any missing invoices
✅ Confirm invoices were delivered
✅ Follow up on overdue balances

The longer invoicing is delayed, the longer your business waits to get paid. Make sending the invoice part of closing every job.

Need help keeping your invoicing and books organized? Visit www.brywoodbooks.com

Find the leak. Fix the numbers.
