Budgeting & Estimating Tools

Plan for profit through strong financial planning and accurate estimates

Plan For Profitability: Get a full view into your finances from labor costs, materials, and even indirect costs like overhead. Uncover efficiencies, sunken costs like unexpected equipment repairs, and opportunities to strengthen your profit margins.
Uncover Your Indirect Costs Of Business: There are more costs than just your labor or materials spend. Plan profitability around covering indirect overhead costs when selling work, and budget for that in yearly budgets and each job.
Track Yearly Financial Goals: Never lose sight of your budgeting goals by using reporting tools and a budgeting dashboard to view live progress. Track milestones and make adjustments to stay on track throughout the year as needed.
Budget For The Best And Worst Case Scenario: Don’t let your optimism or pessimism stand in the way of sound business decisions. Simulate “what if” financial scenarios to better inform key business decisions, like equipment purchases or employee hires.
Measure Against The Rest Of The Industry: Compare your budget against LMN-exclusive industry benchmarks to determine where you may be over or underspending for labor, materials, and equipment.

Boost Profitability With Quick & Easy Estimates: Win more work by getting the jump on your competitors and being the first estimate in your customer’s hands.
