Your Shop Deserves a Bookkeeper Who's Been Under the Hood.
Full Shop Advisory handles the books for diesel repair shops, fleet maintenance companies, and trades businesses that need more than a generalist. Job costing, parts and labor margins, monthly close — done right, every time.
The Problem
You're great at fixing things. Your books shouldn't be one of them.
Most bookkeepers have never heard of Fullbay. They don't know what a flat rate means. They can't tell you why your labor margin looks fine but your net profit doesn't. So you end up doing your own books at 10pm, handing a folder to your tax guy in April, and never really knowing where your money went. That's not a bookkeeping problem. That's a wrong-bookkeeper problem.
The Solution
A bookkeeper who speaks shop.
Full Shop Advisory was built for businesses that run on job costing, parts inventory, billable hours, and fleet equipment. We understand how Fullbay works, how to track parts versus labor margins, and how to close your books every month so you always know where you stand. You don't have to explain your business to us. We already get it.

Hi, I'm Carol. I do the books. You fix the equipment. Let's make a good team.
I'm the founder of Full Shop Advisory and I've spent years working with trades businesses — including diesel repair operations, aerospace engineering firms, and fleet-adjacent companies. I started Full Shop Advisory because I kept seeing shop owners who were excellent at their craft and completely underserved by their bookkeeper.
