Bookkeeping for Septic businesses

Categorizes every transaction nightly, flags anything odd, and preps the package your CPA actually wants — without you opening QuickBooks.

How septic shops run the numbers

  • Typical labor rate: $95/hr
  • Material markup: 30%
  • Target margin: 30%
  • Minimum job: $350

Industry ballparks — Automic Trades pre-fills these for your septic shop, then tunes to your books.

What the Bookkeeping does

  • Pulls transactions from QuickBooks, Stripe, and your bank feed nightly and categorizes them against your chart of accounts
  • Auto-applies the high-confidence calls silently, sends only the unsure ones to your review, then learns your answers
  • Flags anomalies — duplicate charges, unusual amounts, unknown vendors, a category that suddenly changed
  • Runs the month-end P&L with a one-paragraph summary, and tracks expenses against tax categories so tax time is a handoff, not a scramble
  • Builds the quarterly and annual CPA package so your accountant gets clean books, not a shoebox
  • Sets your books up at signup — automatically on Core and Plus, with 48-hour assisted QuickBooks onboarding on Pro
  • Manages the QuickBooks connection itself so you are not the one re-authorizing it

Why it helps septic owners

Books go behind because categorizing two hundred transactions at month-end is nobody's favorite hour. Bookkeeping does it nightly so month-end is a review, not a project.
