Skimmer, a leading operating system for pool service and maintenance professionals, has announced the launch of Skimmer Bookkeeping, a new offering that brings accounting software built specifically for the pool industry and a dedicated U.S.-based bookkeeper directly into the Skimmer platform.
With Skimmer Bookkeeping, pool professionals can now manage more of their entire business in one place, from routes, work orders, customers and invoicing to bookkeeping and financial reporting. Because the accounting experience is built directly into Skimmer, there is no separate system to manage, no duplicate data entry and no need to move information between disconnected platforms.
Skimmer sales data flows automatically into the books, connecting the operational and financial sides of a pool service business. Each customer is also paired with a dedicated bookkeeper who works exclusively with pool service businesses and is available by text, email or scheduled call. Transactions are categorized weekly, and customers receive a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement within five business days of month end, along with a year-end tax packet for their CPA.
Since adopting Skimmer Bookkeeping, Mark Cotino, owner of Bomb City Pool Care, has seen his books handled more reliably than ever before. "Last year I paid thousands of dollars for bookkeeping and never got a single report. I'd drop documents off and never hear back. So I was printing my own statements and categorizing them line by line, hours out of every week that should have gone to my business or my family. Now, my books are being handled better than I was handling them myself," he says.
“Pool professionals should not have to stitch together five different systems to understand and run their business,” says Jack Nelson, CEO of Skimmer. “Skimmer already sits at the center of their day-to-day operations. Bringing bookkeeping and accounting directly into the platform is a natural extension of that vision. Our goal is to give pool professionals one place to run their business, understand their financial performance and make better decisions about what comes next.”
The launch of Skimmer Bookkeeping expands Skimmer beyond operational management and further establishes the platform as the system pool service businesses can use to manage their entire operation, from the backyard to the back office.
Skimmer Bookkeeping is available now as an add-on across Skimmer plans. For more information, visit getskimmer.com.
