Podcast 298: How to Get Your Financial House in Order with Gina Malvestuto

Everything hinges on the numbers! Success in the roofing industry comes down essentially to knowing your numbers and what to charge for your work. Join us in today’s show for a closer look at understanding your finances. 

Gina Malvestuto is the owner of Green Tree Bookkeeping, a Chicago-area company that fits the bill perfectly if you need to outsource your bookkeeping processes. For over 20 years, Gina has worked with many contractors to help them know their numbers and run more profitable businesses. Gina and her small staff of “Green Tree Girls” provide skilled organization and bookkeeping services so contractors can focus on the work they do best.
