Know which jobs make money — before you bid the next one.
Your QuickBooks and your job software have the answer already. They're just not talking. I join them and put the number that matters on your phone every Monday. Fixed fee. Cancel monthly. One person, here in Phoenix.
| Job | Bid | Actual | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mesa reroof — 22 sq | $41,200 | $36,880 | +10.5% |
| Chandler TI — suite 240 | $88,500 | $81,010 | +8.5% |
| N. Scottsdale custom | $64,000 | $71,700 | −12.0% |
| Tempe service contract | $18,000 | $15,240 | +15.3% |
Two kinds of owner, one problem: the numbers arrive too late.
I work two lanes only: trades and small practices. Same discipline, your vocabulary.
Contractors & trades

- Crew utilization weekly, not at month-end
- Cash position and AR aging you can pull in one minute
- Works with Jobber, ServiceTitan, Buildertrend, Procore + QuickBooks
Clinics & small practices
- No-show and utilization patterns by day, provider, and slot
- Payer mix and days-in-AR, tracked weekly
- Front-desk hours back — reports build themselves
- Works with your PM system + QuickBooks · optional HIPAA BAA signed
Three doors. Prices on the page.
Nobody else in town publishes a number. Here are ours.
Dashboard-in-a-Box
Your books and your job or practice software connected, and the standard KPI board for your trade live in two weeks. Fixed scope, maintained for you.
The Job Profit X-Ray
Three weeks: every data source inventoried, three live dashboards — job profitability, cash & AR, crew or chair utilization — and a 90-day plan. Keep it all either way.
Fractional Data Lead
The Monday number, a monthly owner review, and a senior data operator on call — the way a fractional CFO works, pointed at operations.
The three things owners say first
We already have QuickBooks.
QuickBooks records the money. It can't say which crew, which bid, or which job type is bleeding — that answer lives in the join between your books and your job software. That join is the product.
We're too small for a data person.
You're exactly the size that can't justify a $120K analyst. Fractional means you rent the senior operator a couple of days a month — the same reason fractional CFOs are normal here.
We tried dashboards. Nobody used them.
Dashboards die when nobody owns them. You're not buying charts — you're renting the person who keeps them true and makes you look at them once a month.
Who's behind it
I'm Tony Nguyen — a Phoenix-based operations-data engineer. My day job for years has been exactly this: forward-deployed data work inside one of the world's largest logistics operations, where a missed number costs real money by lunchtime. Silicon Desert Data brings that discipline to businesses that can't hire it full-time.
One operator. No account managers. Your data stays in your systems — nothing pooled, nothing resold.
Start with fifteen minutes.
Tell us what runs your jobs or your schedule. You'll get a straight read on whether the X-Ray is worth it — and if it isn't, we'll say so.
