Client Testimonials
Grizzly Heating and Air
"Austin has been a great asset to our operations. His communication and professionalism are on point and his reports are delivered consistently on time, clear to read, and include his insights as well. There are a lot of recurring services businesses use that seem like a wise use of funds but end up falling short, Accounting 4 Trades is NOT one of those-money well spent!"
Mountain West Heating & Air Conditioning
"Austin is the man when it comes to accounting for the trades (see what I did there) but seriously, Austin is detailed and up to date on modern accounting processes and provides not only detailed reporting at the end of the month, but follows up with a detailed recording going through the report in detail with commentary. He is easily reachable and I have referred him to other contractors and he follows through every time. If you need accounting services for your HVAC company, this is your company."
Hunter Maat
"Austin has been a God send. Having him taking care of our bookkeeping has been infinitely valuable. I have all that time back now to work on the business doing the things I actually love. He has also implemented new reports so I can always see in real time exactly where the numbers are at in the business and per project. His pricing is incredibly fair and I recommend him to everyone I know. He’s an amazing guy and super fun to work with. Call him! It’s one of the best calls you could make!"
The Profit Leak Audit:
Where is you cash disappearing?
Most trade businesses don't fail because they lack work; they fail because they lack visibility. If you are running a multi truck fleet using your bank balance to show your profitability, you are leaving 5–10% of your net margin on the table.
We look for the leaks your current bookkeeper is missing:
Unapplied Labor: Is your "non-billable" time eating your gross profit?
Sync Drift: Does your ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber revenue actually match your bank deposits?
Price Book Reality: Are your material markups covering your true overhead, or are you just busy being broke?
The Scaling Roadmap:
From Technician to CEO
Your financial needs change as your fleet grows. What worked when you had two trucks will break your business when you have ten. We specialize in walking you through these phases and building the financial systems that allow you to step out of the truck and into the CEO chair.
The $1M Tipping Point: Establishing clean Chart of Accounts and job costing.
The $3M Danger Zone: Managing high overhead and departmentalizing profit centers.
The $5M+ Enterprise: Using forecasting to fuel expansion and multi-location growth.
Meet the Owner, Austin Wendel
Austin’s passion for the trades runs deep. Growing up, he watched his father work as a service technician and spent summers in the family business, refinishing gym floors and cleaning countless school buildings. He got his hands dirty as a laborer for a local concrete company, experiencing firsthand the grit, long hours, and dedication it takes to keep these industries running. That experience shaped his belief: skilled trades professionals deserve more than just basic accounting—they need a financial partner who truly understands their world.
That’s why he launched Accounting 4 Trades—to help HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses take control of their finances, boost cash flow, and build stronger, more profitable companies.As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Austin makes accounting simple and stress-free, so business owners can focus on what they do best.
But he’s not just running a bookkeeping service—he’s on a mission to elevate financial support in the trades. Through Accounting 4 Trades, he’s creating a trusted resource that helps specialty trade owners streamline their operations and drive lasting success. And when he’s not helping clients, you’ll probably find him tearing up the trails on his dirt bike, always chasing the next adventure.
