Aspire-trained consultants + Aspire-trained CPA — one firm
Aspire-fluent. CPA-led. Landscape-only.

Run a tighter shop.
Close the books faster.

Hire us for Aspire. Hire us for Aspire-trained CPA work — full-service bookkeeping, payroll, and the controllership that bridges your two systems. Or both, under one roof. Aspire tracks your job-level revenue and COGS. QuickBooks runs your indirect expenses, overhead, and full P&L. The work tying them together is where most landscape companies are quietly losing margin — and that's exactly what we do.

  • Aspire-trained CPA — chart of accounts, purchasing, payroll that ties to your jobs
  • Aspire consultants — implementation, optimization, crew training
  • One firm, à la carte — hire one side, both sides, or all of it
What we do

One firm. Software and the back office behind it.

Most landscape contractors get bounced between an Aspire consultant who doesn't talk to their bookkeeper, and a bookkeeper who doesn't understand Aspire. FieldPoint closes that gap.

Aspire Consulting

Audits, optimization, and ongoing advisory for shops already on Aspire. We fix the settings, templates, and workflows that are quietly costing you margin.

  • Workflow & permissions audit
  • Estimating & catalog cleanup
  • Job costing tied to your P&L
  • Purchasing, AR, and revenue recognition

Aspire Implementation

Going live on Aspire — or relaunching after a stalled rollout. We map your operation first, then configure Aspire to match the way your crews actually work.

  • Discovery & chart-of-accounts design
  • Data migration from QB / Service Autopilot
  • Crew & ops training that sticks
  • Go-live support and a 90-day tune-up

Bookkeeping, Controllership & Tax

Day-to-day bookkeeping plus CPA-level controllership and tax — one firm for the whole back office. Job-level COGS in Aspire roll cleanly to your QuickBooks P&L. Overhead, allocations, and the full ledger sit where they belong.

  • Full-service bookkeeping & monthly close
  • Aspire ↔ QuickBooks integrity
  • Overhead & indirect cost allocation
  • Year-end ready, every month

Payroll for Landscape Crews

Multi-state, prevailing wage, piecework, and seasonal — we run the payroll model landscape companies actually need, with hours flowing back into Aspire job costs.

  • Weekly & bi-weekly payroll runs
  • Multi-state & jurisdiction taxes
  • Workers' comp class & audit support
  • H-2B / seasonal workforce tracking

QuickBooks for Landscape

QuickBooks isn't a landscape system out of the box. We rebuild the chart of accounts, classes, and items so QB actually reports the way a landscape contractor needs it to.

  • Landscape-specific chart of accounts
  • Class / location segmentation
  • Aspire export mapping
  • Clean-up & catch-up engagements

KPI & Advisory

Monthly leadership dashboards built from Aspire and QuickBooks data — gross margin by division, recurring vs. enhancement mix, labor efficiency, and the metrics that move enterprise value.

  • Owner & ops scorecards
  • Budget vs. actual by division
  • Quarterly strategy reviews
  • Exit / valuation prep
Pick one. Pick two. Pick all three.

Implement. Reconcile. Optimize.

Some clients hire us just for Aspire. Some hire us just for the back office. Some hand us the whole stack. Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need — and you can add the other pieces later without changing firms.

01

Implement

Aspire, set up right

Estimating templates, work tickets, purchasing workflows, job costing, and the QuickBooks export — all configured around the way landscape companies actually run, not how the manual says.

  • Aspire go-live or rescue
  • Crew & ops training
  • 90-day tune-up
03

Optimize

Numbers your CEO can act on

Division-level gross margin, recurring-revenue retention, crew utilization, sales conversion. The KPIs only matter when they come from clean data — that's why we run both sides.

  • Owner & ops scorecards
  • Quarterly strategy reviews
  • Tax planning & exit prep

Hire us for one. Hire us for all of it. Move pieces in or out as you grow. See if we're a fit →

Meet the founders

Two specialists. One firm.

FieldPoint was founded because landscape contractors deserve more than a coach on one side and a bookkeeper on the other. We're the two people who run it — and we're the ones you'll actually work with.

Chris Sumler, CPA

Co-Founder & Managing CPA

Chris is a licensed CPA trained in the Aspire way of accounting. Full-service bookkeeping, monthly close, payroll, year-end, and tax planning — plus the controllership work that ties Aspire's job-cost data cleanly into your QuickBooks P&L. Day-to-day books and CPA-level oversight, under one roof.

  • Full-service bookkeeping
  • CPA, Aspire-trained
  • Payroll, tax & controllership
Aspire deep dive

We don't just know Aspire.
We've already untangled the parts you're stuck on.

From bad estimating templates to messy purchasing workflows, from crew time that won't tie to payroll to weeklies that don't match your P&L — every landscape company we meet has the same five or six problems. FieldPoint fixes them in a defined engagement, not a six-month consulting contract.

  • Estimating templates that match real crew costs

    Burdened labor rates, equipment recovery, and overhead loaded the way your accountant agrees with.

  • Work tickets & route accuracy

    Tickets that actually reflect the scope sold, so your gross margin reports aren't lying to you.

  • Purchasing workflow & receipt SOPs that hold up

    Purchase receipts logged in Aspire, POs matched to vendor invoices, and standardized procedures crews actually follow in the field.

  • Aspire ↔ QuickBooks integration that holds up

    We own both sides, so when the export breaks at month-end, one team fixes it.

  • Reports executives will actually open

    Division-level GM, recurring revenue retention, sales pipeline conversion, crew utilization.

Why FieldPoint

Controllership that finally understands your business.

01

Landscape-only

We don't serve dentists, restaurants, or e-commerce. Every client is a landscape, lawn care, or design-build firm — typically $2M–$50M in revenue.

02

À la carte or end-to-end

Engage us for Aspire alone, the back office alone, or both. Same standards, same firm — add or drop pieces as your business changes.

03

Fixed-fee clarity

Monthly fixed fees for ongoing back office. Scoped, fixed-fee engagements for implementation and clean-up. No hourly surprise bills.

04

Owner-grade reporting

You'll see margin by division, by branch, by service line — the same week the month ends. So you can run the next month, not autopsy the last.

Why this matters

Not all CPAs speak Aspire.

Aspire owns your job-level revenue and COGS — work tickets, purchasing & receipts, materials, crew time, the cost of every job. QuickBooks owns everything else — indirect expenses, overhead, payroll allocations, G&A, the full P&L. The controllership work tying the two together — chart of accounts alignment, receipt-to-PO matching, overhead allocation, work-ticket-to-GL traceability — is where most landscape companies are quietly losing margin. Most bookkeepers and even most CPAs have never touched it.

A typical bookkeeper or CPA

"It balances in QuickBooks…"

  • Generic chart of accounts — doesn't tie to Aspire's structure
  • Aspire and QuickBooks drift apart between closes
  • Work tickets and job costs never reconcile to the GL
  • Purchase receipts get lost, POs don't match vendor invoices
  • Reports show total revenue — no division, no service line
  • "Why doesn't Aspire match QB?" is a recurring conversation
  • Owner can't trust gross margin by job, branch, or crew
  • Tax CPA is a different person who doesn't know your system
FieldPoint — Aspire-trained CPA

Reconciled to the penny, every close.

  • Chart of accounts purpose-built to mirror Aspire's job-cost model
  • Classes & items mapped 1:1 with Aspire divisions, services, and crews
  • Every work ticket → job cost → GL — traceable, audit-ready
  • Purchase receipts logged, POs matched, vendor invoices tied weekly
  • Reports by division, service line, recurring vs. enhancement, & crew
  • Aspire ↔ QuickBooks integrity check at every month-end
  • Gross margin you can actually act on — by job, branch, or crew
  • One firm handles books, payroll, year-end, and tax planning together

How we work

Two paths in. Same firm.

Each side has its own kickoff — Aspire and the books run on parallel tracks. Hire us for one, the other, or both. The discovery, audit, and roadmap happen independently for each.

Aspire path

System & operations

Led by Ben

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    30 minutes. We map your operation — Aspire setup, divisions, crews, what's hurting most. No pitch.

  2. 2

    Aspire system audit

    Read-only access. We review estimating templates, work tickets, purchasing & receipts, job costing, and reporting. You get written findings.

  3. 3

    Custom roadmap

    A prioritized plan based on what's actually most pressing for your business — margin leaks first, then templates, then SOPs. Phased delivery.

  4. 4

    Scoped engagement

    Fixed-fee proposal for the roadmap. You see the price before you commit. Includes a 90-day tune-up after launch.

  5. 5

    Weekly cadence

    Weekly calls to keep the roadmap moving — review what shipped, work through what's next, and unblock your team in real time. On-call support between calls.

CPA path

Books & controllership

Led by Chris

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    30 minutes. We map your current bookkeeper, payroll provider, year-end cadence, and the questions your numbers can't answer today. No pitch.

  2. 2

    QuickBooks & Aspire audit

    Read-only access to both systems. We assess chart of accounts, reconciliation gaps, payroll structure, and how the two systems tie. You get written findings.

  3. 3

    Custom proposal

    Pricing and a way forward based on actual state — bookkeeping, controllership, payroll, tax. Modular so you can scale services up or down.

  4. 4

    Onboard & transition

    30–60 day handoff from your current provider. We document every workflow so you're never trapped.

  5. 5

    Monthly rhythm

    Books closed by day 15. Owner package with KPIs by day 15. Quarterly strategy session built around your numbers.

"We had Aspire for two years and never trusted a single report it produced. FieldPoint rebuilt our estimating templates, fixed the QuickBooks export, and now I open Monday morning to a dashboard I actually believe. Worth every dollar."
