Who's behind it

I built these tools by hand inside a real shop.

9 years running the money inside a repair shop. The same fog HVAC owners live in.

I ran the money inside a small repair shop for years. The owners were great at the work, but the money side was a fog. So I built the fix by hand: a working-capital view that pulls cash out of unpaid invoices and shelved parts, and a 13-week rolling forecast that shows what's coming instead of bracing for it.

I have family in the HVAC trade too, so I've heard the same story for years: the seasonal swings, the profitable install that starves the bank account. That's why MetricRun is built for HVAC, not for everyone.

I'll be straight: I don't have a CPA or an MBA. What I have is 9 years doing this work inside a real business and the exact models that cut an owner's money stress. A practitioner who lived it, not a theorist who read about it.
What you actually get

A real briefing, not a report you'll never open.Sample HVAC Co.

One clean read a week. Here's the shape of it, built from the same engine your shop's briefing runs on.

Roughly $73,000 is cash you could free up from working capital right now.

Your cash conversion cycle runs about 30 days. Pulling collections, inventory, and supplier terms toward target gets it to 12 days and frees that cash without selling a dollar more work.

If any of this sounds like your shop

The money side has been a fog. It doesn't have to be.

You built this shop with your hands and your name on it. You shouldn't have to run it half-blind on the money side.

You check the bank and hope

A flush week might mean a strong month, or just a customer who paid early. With no forward view, every call is a guess.

The seasons swing your cash hard

Shoulder season strain shows up the same way every year. A forecast lets you plan for the slow weeks instead of scrambling through them.

"Profitable" installs starve the account

You float the parts and labor for six weeks before a slow-paying install clears. On paper it made money. The bank says otherwise.

Cash is not profit. Treating it like it is is how busy shops quietly go broke.

A great profit month can still be a tight cash month if the money is tied up in unpaid invoices and parts on the shelf. MetricRun keeps the two separate and shows you both, every week.

None of this is a knock on how you run things. It's the one view you've never had, and you've earned the right to see it clearly.

Straight answers

The questions owners actually ask.

No. Setup and every briefing are in writing. You send your numbers once through a short intake, then read one memo a week. You're never on the phone walking me through your shop.

No. Bookkeeping looks backward at what already happened. MetricRun looks 90 days forward at what's coming, so you can act while there's still time to do something about it.

Yes. Every briefing is one plain-language read: the number that matters, why it matters, and the one move to make. No ratios to decode, no finance jargon.

Run your first full month. If it isn't worth more than you paid, reply and I refund everything, setup included. You keep every briefing I sent.

Your CPA files taxes and closes the books. That's compliance, and it looks backward. This is a weekly forward view of cash and a clear next move. The two work side by side.

A short setup once, then about 10 minutes a week to read the briefing. The work sits on my side, not yours.

No. The forecast runs on numbers you already have. If you use ServiceTitan or QuickBooks, that's fine. It isn't required to start.

No, and I'll be straight about it. I spent 9 years running operations and finance inside a real shop and built these exact tools by hand. A practitioner who lived it, not a theorist who read about it.
