Commercial cleaning operations audit Hours run past the bid. The price never moves. We find where the margin leaks.

It shows what got entered, and WinTeam can set budgeted hours against paid hours job by job when every hour carries a job code and the budget was updated after the last scope change. The gaps sit where that breaks: payroll hours with no building code, a budget still set at the walkthrough, work agreed in a lobby. The Review reads the software, read-only, beside the bid sheets, signed specs, recurring invoices and AR aging, so each building’s hours bid, hours paid and dollars billed sit in one place. The fix list runs inside the tools already in place.

It shows, building by building, hours paid against hours bid and where each contract’s escalation clause allows a change. Whether to ask, and when, stays the owner’s decision; the report supplies the numbers for that conversation.

Billing every extra is not the recommendation; deciding every extra is. Some extras are goodwill by decision, some are already priced into the monthly as periodics, and some were simply never billed because nobody told the office. The Review separates the three, in writing. The standard it recommends is a slip before the work starts, even one marked $0, so the owner chooses each time instead of discovering it at year-end. A property manager who signs an NTE before the buffer comes out is also a property manager with no surprise on the invoice.

Yes, from records the office already has. Take one pay period: for each building, total the hours payroll paid there, supervisor cover included, and set them beside the hours the bid assumed. A building over its bid hours is margin going to labor. If the hours cannot be tied to a building at all, because payroll carries no building code, that is the finding. The two-tap check on this page asks about the same hand-off.

The Review fits a company with several buildings, more than one crew and an office that bills separately from the people doing the work. In a business carried by labor, an hour paid and never billed comes straight out of margin. Tell us the building count and the crew structure on the 20-minute call, before any payment, and the answer on fit will be a plain yes or no.

Read-only access to the scheduling, inspection and accounting tools, a payroll export with hours by employee ID and building code, the bid sheets and signed specs, and portal status reports. No SSNs, no I-9s, no bank details. Supervisors are not graded: the Review compares a process to a written standard, never people to people. Two weeks later the owner receives a findings document that prices each leak in monthly dollars, with a fix list ordered by what the arithmetic justifies, for a $4,500 fixed fee.
