The problem

Nobody built your back office. It just happened.

A bookkeeper buried in the day-to-day. A payroll company that only runs payroll. A CPA you see in March. An office manager wearing eight hats to hold it together. Everyone owns a piece. No one owns the whole.

01

It all lands on one desk

The bills, the permits, the new hire's paperwork, the tag that expires Friday — it all lands on the same desk. The problem isn't the person behind the desk. It's that there's only one of them.

02

Reacting, not planning

The day-to-day gets handled. Customers are happy. But the big picture gets missed. Nobody's failing — but no one has the bandwidth to look ahead and plan.

03

It doesn't scale

Win a bigger contract, add a crew, buy a competitor — and the back office breaks before the field does. Winning should feel like winning — not drowning.

What we handle

Everything but the fieldwork.

You win the jobs and get them done. We handle what's behind them — from payroll to permits — including the work most providers won't touch.

Proof
Baton was with me before I even owned the company.

"They built the financials for my SBA loan, then set up the books, the trucks, the insurance, and payroll after we closed. I bought a utility business — they built the office around it."
