August 2024
Knock, knock! Who’s there? It’s August, your hottest and busiest month of the year.
We get it. With so many jobs underway, it’s tempting to put off back-office tasks like billing and calling insurance and mortgage companies until things slow down. But having clients or their insurance companies owe you money can create a deficit in cash flow that ultimately slows down future work and drains your cash reserves. Not only is playing catch-up a headache, but it’s also time-consuming! We estimate that a $2MM company can increase topline revenue by 10% by outsourcing accounts receivable, billing, and payment collection.

So, instead of letting your sales team spin their wheels (literally) driving to pick up checks, make August “door-knocking season.”
When you do August right, you’ll have fully loaded cash reserves heading into the off-season, a full roster of happy clients, and more time to focus on other business priorities. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get knocking.
— Matt Frugé, Founder and CEO
Five Tasks to Prioritize This August
There are more than a few ways to do more “door-knocking” this August. Here are the top five tasks to prioritize to ensure you’re all set for the off-season.
- Use SquareDash advance payments to keep your cash reserve topped up. Just ensure your property owner has approved their invoice and paid their deductible. You’ll get money back in the bank right away with our claim funding.
- Collect all outstanding balances on property owner invoices—don’t let that AR file linger with your back office and hold your cash flow hostage.
- Have your team write supplements and get them to the office ASAP. We all know insurance companies won’t give you an allowance unless you ask, so be proactive about it.
- Keep selling. Even with a queue of jobs, following the first three tasks for August means you’ll have enough cash in your reserves and time for your sales team to make this your most profitable season yet.
- Ask happy property owners for referrals. Most people don’t trust just anyone with their roof and will want to know they’re in good hands with your roofing business.
