You’ve been asking for it! We keep hearing from our listeners to bring on guests that can speak more about the financials side of growing a home services business, and who better than Mike Barnhart? Mike is the CFO of Eco Plumbers, Electricians, and HVAC Technicians, and joins host Chris and guest co-host Aaron Gaynor to dive in to how Mike helped grow the Columbus, OH, business from 1.9MM to 73MM and counting.

A Plumber and Numbers Guy Meet…And Big Things Happen

Inflation, expenses, competitive wages…there’s a lot for contractors to contend with when it comes to the financials side of running a business. What should different metrics look like? What’s the average? What metrics should I even be paying attention to? When Aaron Gaynor, owner of Eco Plumbers, met Mike at a party, that’s exactly what he was thinking about.

Aaron told Mike that he wanted to grow the company to 100MM, and within a year, Mike had left working in financials to help Aaron grow the business. It’s been ten years since, and Mike has loved every minute of it – even becoming a licensed plumber himself out of his love for the trade!

After joining full-time, Mike immediately got to work creating scorecards, implementing Service Titan, and helping Aaron push the company to new heights.
