Mainstreet MEP Command Center™

You probably already have accounting and field management software, but pulling all of that data together can be overwhelming. And sometimes, your field dashboards are just plain wrong because they don’t roll in your actual accounting and payroll data. 

The weekly Mainstreet MEP Command Center™ shows whether your month is on track, where cash is getting stuck, and what your team should focus on before the month ends.

This is a clear weekly management brief that turns your QuickBooks Online data into a weekly financial control system built specifically for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors.

Accounting software shows everything.

Mainstreet MEP Command Center™ shows you where to focus.

What You See Each Week

 

Profitability Signals

See whether the business is actually making money as the month unfolds, not after it ends.

Includes: Month-to-date: sales, COGS, gross profit, gross margin, overhead expenses, net profit and net margin

These signals help you catch pricing, labor, job-cost, or expense problems before month-end closes.

Trailing Twelve-Month Performance Trends

Understand whether the business is improving or drifting over time.

Includes bar graphs showing trends in:

  • Trailing twelve-month revenue
  • Trailing twelve-month net income

This gives you context beyond the current week so you can see whether recent decisions are strengthening the business or weakening it.

Current Sales Pace vs Monthly Goal

Know whether the month is still recoverable.

Includes:

  • Month-to-date sales
  • Average sales per tech vs goal
  • Number of invoices issued
  • Average ticket amount
  • Days left to bill
  • Revenue remaining to hit goal
  • Sales vs YOUR GOAL comparison

This helps you see whether your team needs to push billing, production, or sales activity before the month gets away from you.

Technician Productivity

See whether your field team is producing enough to support the revenue goal.

Includes:

  • Average revenue per technician vs goal
  • Ticket count
  • Average ticket value
  • Remaining production needed to stay on plan

This helps you oversee production without waiting until the end of the month to find out the team fell short.

Cash Position and Short-Term Outlook

Know whether cash pressure is forming.

Includes:

  • Current bank balances per QBO
  • Credit card balances per QBO
  • Top past-due vendor bills
  • Largest vendor bills due soon
  • Step by step matrix to estimate near-term cash position after obligations

This helps you anticipate cash needs before they become emergencies.

Customer Receivables Priorities

See where cash is stuck and where your office team should focus collections.

Includes:

  • Total accounts receivable
  • Past-due receivables
  • Largest customer balances
  • Top past-due customers
  • Oldest outstanding invoices

This helps you direct collections activity instead of expecting your team to guess what matters most.

Vendor Exposure

Stay ahead of vendor issues before they affect operations.

Includes:

  • Accounts payable aging
  • Largest past-due vendors
  • Vendor invoices due in the next 7–14 days
  • Total past-due payables

This helps you protect supplier relationships and avoid surprises.

Customer Concentration Signals

Understand whether too much cash is tied up with too few customers.

Includes:

  • Largest customer balances
  • Customer balances as a percentage of total receivables
  • Concentration risk indicators

This helps you see when a small number of customers are creating outsized cash-flow risk.

Why Contractors Use the Mainstreet MEP Command Center™

Most owners don’t need more financial reports.

They need a simple way to oversee priorities and direct their team.

The Mainstreet MEP Command Center™ helps you:

  • see whether the business is profitable before the month closes
  • confirm whether sales are pacing toward goal
  • monitor technician production
  • direct collections priorities
  • stay ahead of vendor obligations
  • watch cash before it gets tight
  • keep your office team focused on the right work

Instead of digging through multiple reports on QuickBooks, you get a clear weekly view of what deserves attention.

How Owners Typically Use It

Review the dashboard once a week and use it to direct your team. Many owners use it as a to-do list for their finance, sales and operations teams.

You’ll know:

  • if margins are slipping and you need to dig in
  • whether billing is slow and needs to be pushed
  • whether production is behind target
  • which customers your office should follow up with
  • which vendor bills need attention
  • whether cash is getting tight

Then you can delegate with confidence.

Delivery Schedule

Dashboard data refreshes automatically each Thursday night using the most current information available in QuickBooks Online.

Your dashboard is delivered Friday morning so you can review and set priorities before the next work week begins.

Pricing

Setup fee: $99 one time
Mainstreet MEP Command Center™ subscription: $249 per month
