At Purple Elephant Bookkeeping, we’ve always believed that no two businesses are the same—and your bookkeeping shouldn’t be either. Over the past year, we’ve grown, expanded our expertise, and we’re excited to announce that we now offer specialized bookkeeping services for industries that need it most:

  • HVAC

  • Roofing

  • Construction

  • Plumbing

  • Electrical

  • Franchise Owners


These industries have unique challenges—seasonal demand, subcontractors, material costs, royalty reporting, franchise fees, and more. By tailoring our bookkeeping services to each trade, we’re helping business owners not only keep their books clean but also make smarter decisions for growth.


Why We Expanded

Many of our clients came to us after struggling with “one-size-fits-all” bookkeeping. Contractors were losing track of job costs. HVAC businesses were drowning in parts invoices. Franchise owners were overwhelmed by royalty reporting.

We listened, we learned, and we realized we could do more. By becoming familiar with the CRMs and systems these industries rely on, we bridge the gap between daily operations and financial clarity.


Systems We Work With

Your business already runs on powerful tools—we make sure your books keep up. We’re experienced in working with:

  • ServiceTitan

  • JobNimbus

  • Jobber

  • Housecall Pro

  • FieldEdge

  • Service Fusion

  • AccuLynx

  • Buildertrend

  • CoConstruct

  • Procore

  • SimPRO

  • Knowify

  • SuccessWare21

  • RedTeam

  • Contractor Foreman

By syncing your financials with the systems you already trust, we save you time, reduce errors, and give you accurate reports you can actually use.


What This Means for You

If you’re a contractor or franchise owner, you don’t just need “bookkeeping”—you need bookkeeping that understands your business model. That means:

  • Job costing for construction projects

  • Tracking subcontractor and payroll expenses

  • Managing seasonal spikes in HVAC and roofing

  • Royalty and franchise fee reporting for multi-location owners

  • Clear, easy-to-read financial reports that keep you in control


We’re Excited to Grow With You

This expansion isn’t just about adding industries—it’s about helping more business owners feel confident in their numbers. We know how much work goes into running a service business, and we’re here to make sure your financials don’t hold you back.

1. Business Basics

The foundation is everything. In this module, we’ll cover the essential topics that every business owner needs to understand, including different business entities, permits, and how to protect your business legally.


2. Targeted Marketing

Marketing is key, but it's got to be targeted. We’ll dive into how to identify your Ideal Customer Avatar, so you know exactly who you’re talking to and how to speak their language. When you get this right, marketing becomes so much easier!


3. Branding & Sales Strategy

How do you stand out in a crowded market? Branding. In this section, you’ll learn how to brand your products for a variety of sales channels—online, wholesale, retail, or markets—so that your products are memorable and compelling.


4. Smart Pricing & Shipping

Pricing can make or break your business, and shipping is often where costs can add up. We’ll cover effective pricing strategies that keep your margins healthy and dive into the nuts and bolts of shipping, so you don’t lose money on either end.


How It Works:

This 8-week course is designed to give you real-world, actionable steps each week. Here’s how it’s structured:

  • Weekly Lessons: Each week, we focus on a different aspect of starting or growing your product-based business. Plus, most lessons include real-life stories about my journey as a baker—lessons I learned the hard way that I’m eager to share.

  • Q&A Sessions: Every Friday, we’ll host a live Q&A where you can ask questions about that week’s lessons and get feedback tailored to your business.

  • Private Facebook Community: You won’t be going through this journey alone. Join a supportive community of entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of building a business. It’s a place where you can share wins, get feedback, and connect with like-minded people.


Who Is This Course Perfect For?

Hustle Smarter is ideal for a wide range of product-based businesses looking to grow and scale. This course is perfect if:

  • Home Bakers: If you're a home baker looking to expand your sales and grow your brand, this course is tailored for you. Learn how to take your baking business from side hustle to full-fledged brand.

  • Online or E-commerce Businesses: If you’re running an e-commerce business, this course will help you fine-tune your online sales strategy, improve your shipping logistics, and master pricing.

  • Product Makers: Whether you're creating candles, shirts, crafts, or any other product, Hustle Smarter can help you with everything from branding to shipping.
