Your accountant talks, you nod, and you still don't know if last month was good or bad. Here's how Nolavi works through it, the same way a good mechanic works on a car: find the concern, the cause, the correction, then verify the fix.
Nate got his books back from the accountant four months late every year. By the time he saw the numbers, the problems were old news and he couldn't fix them.
His shop system held the repair orders, the bank held the deposits, and the vendors held the invoices. None of them talked to each other, so every number had to be matched by hand, once a year when the accountant asked for it.
Nolavi connects to the shop system, the bank and the vendors and closes each day as it happens. Bills are matched to repair orders the day they arrive. The drawer is checked against the day's sales every night. Nate sees a one page summary every Monday with the five numbers that matter: gross profit, effective labor rate, parts profit, payroll share and net profit.
His books are now current every day. The accountant gets clean, matched records at year end with no catch up work. Net profit rose from 9% to 12% once Nate could see the leaks in real time and close them.
How we work. We make changes like this for shops all the time, using each shop's own data. The numbers shown are examples.
Auto repair shop coaching from your own numbers. Nolavi sends a plain report every Monday with the moves worth making next. See how it works
Five numbers cover most of it: gross profit (what's left after parts and labor cost), effective labor rate (what you really earn per billed hour), parts profit margin, payroll as a share of sales, and net profit. Nolavi tracks all five every day and flags the one that needs your attention.
You still want an accountant for taxes and year end filings. What Nolavi removes is the daily catch up work: matching bills, reconciling the drawer, and chasing numbers. Your accountant gets clean records instead of a shoe box.
