Auto Detailing Business monthly financial report
A detailing report should split retail from dealer and fleet work. One pays now, the other pays later.
The six numbers for an auto detailing business
| Number | How to work it out | What it warns you about |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue per job | Revenue ÷ jobs | Package mix and discounting |
| Jobs per week | From your booking software | Demand against capacity |
| Supplies, share of revenue | Chemicals, pads, coatings ÷ revenue | Product costs rising |
| Dealer and fleet, share of revenue | Account billing ÷ revenue | The part of revenue that pays later |
| Labor, share of revenue | Detailer pay ÷ revenue | Jobs taking longer than priced |
| Weeks of costs in the bank | Cash ÷ weekly costs | Room for a slow winter |
Use these six in place of the general ones on the template's Report tab.
What to watch in an auto detailing business
- Dealer invoices past 30 days
