Check which cleaning services make money by having ChatGPT review a P&L broken down by service

who Austin Rogers, co-owner with Haley Rogers of Avai Property Solutions, a cleaning and exterior property-care business in Sarasota, Florida, speaking on Jobber's Masters of Home Service podcast

What it does

Austin keeps money-in and money-out figures in Google Sheets, separated into basic cleaning, deep cleaning, short-term rental cleaning, windows, pressure washing and gutter cleaning. He gives ChatGPT the P&L and asks where numbers look wrong and which services make the most money. This is an owner interview on Jobber's own channel; the episode promotes Jobber. He does not say he connected QuickBooks to AI: that comes up as an idea from another guest.

The problem

Adding window cleaning, pressure washing and other services makes it harder to see which work is profitable.

What happened

He says the review helps him check that the services are not losing money. No measured time savings or profit increase is given. Self-reported.

How to set it up yourself

  1. Export a month of revenue, labor and expenses by service from your own records, removing customer and bank details.
  2. Give ChatGPT the table and your allocation rules; ask for a separate margin calculation for each service.
  3. Ask it to flag missing costs, unusual entries and the services that deserve a closer review.
  4. Recalculate the totals in your spreadsheet and investigate each flag before changing prices or adding a service.

Copy-paste prompt

Review this service-level P&L: {DEIDENTIFIED TABLE}. Our overhead allocation rule is {RULE}. Show revenue, labor, other costs and margin by service. Flag missing costs and unusual entries. Show the arithmetic and separate facts from questions. Do not invent expenses or change the books.
