If you work in the trades, you already know how quickly things move. New tools, new technology, new hiring challenges, new customer expectations. That’s exactly why our team at Atlas attends events like ServiceWorld Expo! We want to stay close to the conversations happening in the home service world so we can support you with the financial clarity that helps you run a stronger business.
This year, we made the trip once again. While the event is packed with activity, our goal was simple: meet business owners, listen to what they’re navigating, and make sure the data and advice we provide continue to match the real needs of plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, and construction trades across the country.
What Is ServiceWorld Expo?
ServiceWorld Expo is one of the largest gatherings for residential and commercial home service companies in the United States. Every year, thousands of contractors in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and related trades come together for educational sessions and workshops, plus plenty of opportunities to connect and share what’s working.
The event is designed to help service business owners operate smarter, grow faster, and navigate the constant changes in the industry.
Why Atlas Shows Up Every Year
Our clients rely on us for more than bookkeeping or tax planning. Most trades businesses need help understanding their numbers in a way that leads to clear decisions, like when to hire, which jobs are most profitable, and how cash flow is trending.
Coming back from ServiceWorld Expo, we’re able to stay connected with what home service companies are dealing with day-to-day. We also get to see what new technology or tools are gaining traction in the industry.
Here are a few themes that we noticed from the event:
1. Technology in the trades is evolving fast
The expo hall is full of software providers, scheduling tools, automation platforms, and field-service solutions. The message is clear: trade businesses are moving toward more streamlined, data-driven operations.
2. Business training is now just as important as technical skills
Many of the sessions focus on leadership, pricing, hiring, and financial management, which are areas where contractors often need support as they grow.
3. Contractors want better visibility into their numbers
Whether it’s job costing, cash flow forecasting, or payroll planning, there’s a growing push for systems that help owners understand their business at a deeper level.
Let’s Keep the Conversation Going
If we missed you at ServiceWorld Expo this year, we’d love to connect. Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, HVAC contractor, or construction business owner, we’re here to help you run a more profitable and predictable operation.
