Storm season brought 30 new workers. The back office wasn't ready.
Jerome has run J's Roofing in Houston for seven years. In the off-season, he operates with a core crew of six. After a major storm, that number jumps to 30 within weeks. The surge is predictable — the chaos that follows it used to be too.
Each season brought the same problems: new workers needing paperwork processed quickly, overtime accumulating on extended jobs, workers' comp classifications that required manual review, and quarterly tax filings that always seemed to catch Jerome off guard. He was spending money on an accountant to fix problems that shouldn't have existed.
OneCo replaced his patchwork of tools — and his accountant's cleanup bill — with a system built for businesses that scale and contract by design.
Storm-ready in three weeks.
Business checking opened for job-based banking.
J's opened a OneCo account and set up sub-accounts to track material purchases by job site. For the first time, the owner could see whether a roofing project was actually profitable before the final invoice went out.
Seasonal crew onboarded before the storm season rush.
With hurricane season approaching and a full crew to bring on, every new hire completed their paperwork through a OneCo link sent to their phones. 31 workers onboarded across five days without a single in-person HR session.
Overtime and workers' comp handled automatically.
OneCo calculated overtime pay for field crew on extended jobs and flagged workers' comp eligibility for each classification. What used to require a call to an accountant became a system that just worked.
Zero compliance gaps going into tax season.
State and federal payroll filings, quarterly tax deposits, and W-2s all handled by OneCo. The owner filed their business taxes for the first time without a single phone call to untangle a payroll discrepancy.
"Every storm season I was paying my accountant to fix payroll problems that I'd caused. With OneCo, I walked into tax season this year with nothing to fix."
