Stop losing money on jobs before payroll.
Built for electrical & HVAC contractors doing $1M–$5M who need job-profit visibility before payroll.
We show you which jobs are going sideways—weekly—so you can fix it while you still can.
Know which jobs are bleeding
Catch labor overruns weekly
Fix the leak before payroll hits
No pressure — if we’re not a fit, I’ll tell you.
Busy jobs don’t guarantee profitable jobs
If labor overruns, material creep, and poor job visibility only show up after payroll, the damage is already done.
Most contractors don’t have a sales problem.
They have a visibility problem.

3. Profit Before Payroll™ Control System
PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE PROFIT IS LEAKING.
INSTALL CONTROLS THAT STOP REPEAT LOSSES.

Meet Brandy Matlack, Founder of Matlack Allied
For more than 20 years, I've worked behind the scenes helping businesses manage payroll, accounts payable, vendor relationships, job-cost controls , and contractor operations.
My experience spans construction, contracting, manufacturing, and small business operations. Throughout my career, I repeatedly saw the same problem: owners often didn't know a job was losing money until after payroll had already been processed.
That's why I created Matlack Allied.
I built Matlack Allied to help electrical and HVAC contractors identify profit leaks before payroll locks in the damage.
Through LeakScope™ and the Profit Before Payroll™ framework, I help owners see which jobs are making money, catch labor overruns faster, and protect margins before payroll hits.
