The Problem
You're running your business blind
Most business owners get a PDF from their accountant 30 days after the month ends. By the time you see the numbers, the damage is already done.
📅
Lagging financials
Your monthly P&L arrives 3–4 weeks after close. Cash problems, labor overruns, and margin compression go undetected until it's too late to act.
📊
No clear picture
You have no idea if your costs are normal for a business your size, which expense categories are running hot, or how you compare to similar businesses in your industry.
💸
Cash surprises
Payroll cycles, vendor bills, and slow seasons stack up unpredictably. Most business owners have been caught off guard by a cash crunch they didn't see coming.
The Solution
Intelligence built for operators
OperatorIQ connects to your existing QuickBooks data and tells you exactly what's happening — before problems become expensive.
Core feature
Location Health Scorecard
Every location gets a real-time health score across labor efficiency, parts margin, revenue per bay, and average ticket — color-coded so you know exactly where to focus.
Benchmarked against similar locations in your brand
Updated weekly — not monthly
Works with your existing QuickBooks or P&L data

12-Week Cash Forecast
See your projected cash balance 12 weeks forward — with flags for weeks where you're at risk before they arrive. Know when royalty payments and payroll cycles will compress your balance.
Multi-unit
Portfolio View
Manage 2, 5, or 10 locations from a single dashboard. Instantly see which locations need attention and which are performing above benchmark — without opening a single spreadsheet.
Deep analysis
Transaction-Level Intelligence
Most financial tools stop at the summary level. OperatorIQ goes deeper — analyzing every transaction to find what's actually inside your expense categories. We don't just tell you "supplies are high." We tell you it's 47 Amazon orders, what they were, and which ones are costing you more than they should.
Works with your QuickBooks export — no new software to learn
Finds miscategorized expenses that inflate your reported costs
Surfaces insights your accountant doesn't have time to find

Automated insights — what OperatorIQ surfaces proactively
FY 2025
Store 3 – Oakwood ★
Top Performer
Highest revenue ($649K), best EBITDA margin (21.9%), lowest COGS at 27.1%. This is your model location. Benchmark all others against Oakwood's operating practices. Revenue per bay is $81K — 24% above system average.
Store 4 – Pinecrest ⚠
Critical Attention
Currently operating below break-even (-128 tickets/yr). Labor at 38.7% vs 32.5% target — estimated $18,400 annual overspend. Newest location (1 yr). Immediate action needed: staffing model review and ticket volume plan. Monthly monitoring recommended.
Store 2 – Riverside ⚠
Watch List
Average ticket at $71.20 vs $74 system target — $2.80 gap × 4,210 tickets = $11,788 annual revenue opportunity. Add premium service upsells (cabin air filter, wiper blades, tire rotation). Low margin of safety at 15.7% means a slow month becomes a cash issue.
