About me
Hi, my name is Cheryl Lanahan!
I’m the founder of Home Service Takeoff, and also PlumbBooks - bookkeeping for home services.
For over 5 years I’ve been helping home service providers grow and become thriving businesses! Often I meet with companies who are just starting out and can’t afford our bookkeeping and advisory help, but they could really use it. So I founded Home Service Takeoff to help these small businesses take off. With their own hard work and determination, they can learn the skills they need to set up and run the back end of their business.
We’re here to teach home service providers how to do their books and many other processes about what must happen in the office of a small company. We are thrilled to facilitate a thriving community of entrepreneurs getting their businesses off the ground.
I hope to see you inside!
