At Atlas Accounting Group, we’ve worked with hundreds of business owners to clean up their books and implement smarter financial systems to improve their bottom line. Keeping your construction company or trade business profitable takes more than good bookkeeping; it takes consistency.
That’s why we launched the Protect Your Profits Book, which is designed to help you stay on top of your finances and strengthen your business profitability through a 12-month advisory program that introduces bite-sized business concepts each month.
As our co-founder, Mackenzie Gray, puts it:
“My goal is to help you uncover anything in your business that might be costing you your hard-earned money. I want you to have confidence that your business is built like a profitable machine and that all of the pieces are in working order.”
This isn’t about learning to be an accountant. It’s about giving you a clear, guided path to build a more profitable business. The best part is that you don’t have to tackle everything at once. Each month, we’ll focus on one key area of your business and give you the tools and insights to make meaningful progress.
What’s ‘Protect Your Profits’ About?
The Protect Your Profits Book is built around a 12-point profit punch list and offers a simple, structured way to address every opportunity to increase profitability through the year.
Each month, you’ll:
- Focus on one key area of your business (e.g. cash flow or job costing)
- Complete a 2-minute systems check to see how your business is performing in that area
- Track your progress using your personalized Protect Your Profits scorecard
It’s designed to be practical and progressive. We already know how busy you are running a business, so each monthly check-in doesn’t take long, but it helps to keep you focused on profitability. The intention is to keep at it throughout the year and make measurable progress toward stronger profits.
Topics That We’ll Cover Together
Each month focuses on one part of your business that affects your bottom line.
Here’s a peek at what we’ll be tackling:
- Profit on Purpose: Set your projections, KPIs, and goals
- Profit Protectors: Build a team culture that supports profitability
- Manage Cash Flow: Manage money flowing in and out with confidence
- Maximize Material Costs: Control your job costs and vendor pricing
- Leverage Labor: Calculate your true labor burden and utilization

By the end of the year, you’ll have a business that’s not just surviving but thriving. More importantly, you’ll have gained the confidence and know-how to manage your business profitability.
