Grow Stronger Roots with Expert Financial Guidance
Running a tree care company is demanding work. You juggle storm-season surges, skilled-labor shortages, and expensive equipment repairs, often while standing fifty feet in the air. Our CFO Advisory team at Roesler Consulting is here to keep your business firmly planted, so you can climb higher with confidence.
Why Tree Service Owners Call Us

Seasonal cash-flow swings
Revenue peaks after storms, then dips in slower months. We build rolling forecasts and proactive reserve plans to keep payroll and fuel paid on time.

Heavy equipment costs
Chippers, bucket trucks, and climber gear are pricey, and maintenance typically runs 10–15 percent of asset value each year. We help you decide whether to buy, lease, or finance, and track ROI on every saw and stump grinder.

Complex compliance
From workers’ comp audits to multi-state sales tax, the paperwork never ends. We automate filings, monitor deadlines, and stand between you and costly penalties.

Tight profit margins
Industry benchmarks hover around 10–18 percent net margin. Our dashboards reveal which crews, services, and client segments drive real profit.

Skilled labor shortages
Certified arborists are hard to find, and turnover can hit 40 percent within the first three months at many firms. We develop compensation models, crew-utilization dashboards, and cash-flow plans that give you the margin to recruit, train, and keep top talent.

Rapid industry growth
The U.S. tree services market is projected to hit roughly $1.5 billion in 2025. We position your company to seize that demand without overstretching resources.
