Financial Clarity Case Study: Treshon Perry from In and Out Flooring

Treshon Perry from contractor profit growth case study

How In and Out Flooring Boosted Net Profit by 94% in 9 Months

On any ordinary morning, Treshon Perry would kiss his family goodbye, climb into his work truck, and head to the local flooring contractor to line up for the next subcontracting job. He earned just enough to cover time and materials—no more than any other sub. He wanted freedom of being a business owner, but instead he was trapped in the grind.

Treshon dreamed of growing, but he didn’t know how. At local real estate networking events, his natural sales ability and quality workmanship won him attention. Soon, he had his own leads. The problem? He was still quoting jobs the only way he knew how: materials plus time. Every dollar that came in went right back out. His wife helped keep handwritten records in spiral notebooks, but together they were running harder than ever.

That’s when Treshon and I crossed paths at one of those networking events. We clicked instantly, and it was clear he was ready for change. After gaining his trust, I asked him to take a closer look at his books. I appreciated the effort his wife put in, but the system was not scalable—and more importantly, his quoting process was broken.

We built a custom spreadsheet template that showed exactly what he needed to charge to cover labor and expenses while also leaving room for the profit he needed to take care of his family. We implemented QuickBooks Online to replace handwritten records and create clarity. For the first time, Treshon had visibility into his numbers and the confidence to price his work at its true value.

And that’s when everything shifted.

Once Treshon began betting on himself, armed with real numbers and the courage to charge his worth—his momentum compounded. Profits grew. Stress eased. The business no longer owned him; he owned the business.

Before working with you, I wasn’t as clear as I thought I was about my business finances. You pointed out my actual net income, and for work I was putting in, it was not what I felt I deserved. You helped me see exactly where we were, asked where we wanted to be in the future, and kept me accountable to those goals—which resulted in the best year we’ve ever had, even during the pandemic!— Treshon Perry

“This case study highlights the monumental shift from an employee mindset to an owner mindset. Treshon had already proven the demand for his work. What he lacked were the tools and financial clarity to scale. Once he understood his numbers, there was no going back, only forward.” — Chris Brown
