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.
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.
Leverage your time. Make money faster.
- Monthly book close — clean, on time, every month
- Bank and credit card reconciliation
- Job costing and parts vs. labor margin tracking

- Accounts payable and receivable review
- Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet
- Tax-ready financials at year-end
- Straight talk about your numbers — no fluff
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.
Built for the businesses that keep everything running.
- Diesel repair shops
- Fleet maintenance companies
- Heavy equipment rental and repair
- Mobile mechanics and mobile welding
- Fabrication shops
- Towing and recovery operations
- Agricultural equipment businesses
If your business runs on tools, equipment, and hard work — and your books have never quite kept up — you're in the right place.
In this business, the books are about trust.
In the shop world, money walks. Parts disappear off the shelf. A bookkeeper hires their cousin and a deposit goes missing. We can't promise to catch every dollar — nobody honest can — but clean, reconciled books every month mean a lot less can hide. We treat your numbers like they're our own.
A second set of eyes
Every month, someone who isn't on your payroll looks hard at where your money goes. Gaps get noticed, not buried.
Clean books, nothing fuzzy
Reconciled accounts mean the numbers match reality. When something doesn't add up, we find it.
Straight answers
If something looks off, you hear about it in plain language — this month, not three quarters later.
Simple process. No surprises.

Full Shop Advisory was built with shop management software in mind. Whether you're running Fullbay, Mitchell 1, or another platform, we know how to work with your exports, reconcile your job data, and make sure what's in your shop software matches what's in your books. No translation required.
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.
Questions we hear from shop owners.
Do you work with shops not using Fullbay?
Absolutely. Any shop management software — or none at all.
What accounting software do you use?
Primarily QuickBooks Online and Xero.
Do I have to be in Washington State?
Nope. Fully remote workflow.
My books are a mess. Is that a problem?
That's exactly why most people call us.
How is this different from my current bookkeeper?
Your current bookkeeper probably doesn't know what a flat rate is.
Your books should work as hard as you do.
Let's talk for 30 minutes. No jargon, no pressure. Just a straight conversation about your business and whether we're a good fit.
