Why Groundwork Books

Run by someone who's worked the trade, not just the books.

Groundwork Books was founded by Jonathan: 14 years of hands-on experience, starting with 6 years in the U.S. Navy, followed by 8 years in the field doing electrical, generator, and gas line work.

  • 6 years of Navy service, followed by 8 years hands-on in electrical, generators, and gas lines (14 years total)
  • Cross-trained in plumbing, HVAC, and solar, including off-grid hybrid power systems
  • Built and successfully ran his own generator service company
  • Led a trade company's shift from paper records to a digital system using Jobber and CompanyCam

"I know what it's like to come home covered in grease and still have invoices to send. Groundwork Books exists so trade owners don't have to choose between the job and the books."
