Trades Alignment is a financial clarity and profitability consulting firm serving self-performing contractors, including electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and landscaping businesses. It helps owners understand where profit is earned or lost, particularly when revenue is growing but financial results fall short of expectations. Rather than relying on gross margin alone, the firm examines profitability by job, customer, location, and service line, and improves how overhead is allocated.

Its services include a Metrics Readiness Assessment, which reviews financial practices, job costing, and reporting gaps, and an Operational Alignment Assessment, which rebuilds overhead allocation, implements the 5-Pillar Profit Tool, trains teams to use financial information, and sets out prioritized improvements. Ongoing advisory can include targeted projects, KPI development, and strategic coordination; select partnerships may also involve equity participation.

Trades Alignment emphasizes building financial understanding across finance, sales, and service delivery teams, not just with business owners. Founder Tom Atkinson brings more than 20 years of trades experience, along with business degrees and experience co-managing a special systems contracting firm.
