Scale Your Service Business by the Numbers
Growth by the Numbers helps founder-led service and trades companies scale from $10M to $100M+ by installing institutional-grade FP&A, fractional CFO leadership, and capital strategy—so every marketing dollar, truck, and technician is deployed by the numbers. We’re not a marketing agency or a bookkeeping shop. We’re the financial and strategic backbone that lets you scale with confidence.
Our mission
Our mission is to empower founder-led service and trades businesses to scale with institutional-grade finance, analytics, and disciplined strategy—so you can lead with confidence, clarity, and control.
Services
Our Approach: Scale by the Numbers Framework
Every engagement is built on a rigorous, proven framework tailored to service and trades businesses: 1) Diagnose the Field by the Numbers: We analyze your financials, job-level economics, technician productivity, and marketing performance to pinpoint where you truly make and lose money. 2) Design the Growth & Capacity Model: We build a driver-based FP&A model that connects leads, bookings, jobs, technicians, trucks, and cash—so you can see 12–36 months ahead. 3) Align Capital, Marketing, and Operations: We align your capital structure, marketing budgets, and operational capacity to a single, coherent growth plan. 4) Install the Operating Rhythm: We implement a monthly “By the Numbers” review and Growth Council cadence so decisions are made on data, not gut feel. 5) Optimize for Profit and Valuation: We continuously refine pricing, mix, productivity, and working capital to increase EBITDA and enterprise value.
