How a Landscaping Business Got $750,000 Back After a Bank Scam
A big landscaping business in Washington, making about $20 million a year, got tricked. Criminals fooled them into sending a lot of money from their bank account. In our first week working with them, we found out they had lost $750,000 because of these fake payments.
No one had noticed these missing funds because their old system for keeping track of money was a mess. Their money problems went back many years, putting their business in big trouble and making it hard for them to run things. We needed to act fast to get their money back and stop them from losing even more.

Finding the Scam
We did a full check of their money records and compared them with five years of bank statements. This showed us the $750,000 in fake payments they had made.

Getting Money Back
We talked directly with the banks and used the proof of the scam to get $500,000 of the stolen money back for them.

Fixing the System
Within a month, we set up a new, safer system for their money records. We also made sure all their staff knew how to use it properly and securely.

Amazing Comeback
We not only stopped the company from missing payroll, but we also helped them double their yearly income in less than six months. This happened by making their work processes better and hiring the right new people.

Deep Dive Into Finances
We took a close look at their income and expenses. We found they were wasting $1.2 million in their shipping, staffing, and how they used their resources.
Changed How Managers Worked
We set 15 clear goals to hold people responsible. We also reorganized the management team to make everything run better and more efficiently.
