Where the Week Actually Goes
Quoting, scheduling, invoicing, chasing. Put hours against each one and see what your back office costs you a year — in your own labour rate, not an industry average.
Rough hours a week, across everyone in the office — not just you. Be honest rather than generous; most owners undercount this by half the first time.
Use the loaded cost of whoever actually does the work. If it's you, use what an hour of your time earns on the tools instead.

We Build the Software Your Business Runs On.
AltaPro AI builds custom CRMs and operations software for Alberta businesses — one system for quotes, jobs, invoices and follow-up, built around how you already work. You can own it outright.
