What The Profit Detective Does
Most consultants hand you a report and walk away. Mike rolls up his sleeves, gets inside your numbers, and doesn’t leave until the bleeding stops. His diagnostic process has helped hundreds of business owners across the restoration and insurance industries find six and seven figures in lost revenue — money that was there all along, hiding in plain sight.
The Diagnostic Process
Revenue Leak Detection — Where is your money going? Mike’s signature forensic audit traces every dollar from estimate to invoice to collection, exposing the gaps that silently drain your margins. Most owners are shocked by what he finds.
Growth Diagnostics — What’s holding you back? A data-driven examination of your sales pipeline, market position, and operational bottlenecks that reveals exactly where your next dollar of growth is hiding.
Operational Audits — Is your engine running clean? Deep-dive assessments of estimating accuracy, job costing, crew productivity, and overhead allocation that expose inefficiencies most owners don’t even know exist.
Who Mike Works With
Restoration companies — water, fire, mold, storm — from single-truck operators to multi-location enterprises. Insurance industry professionals navigating carrier relationships, program work, and claims management. Facility management companies looking to build recurring commercial revenue. And any service business owner who suspects they’re leaving money on the table but can’t figure out where.
36 Years in the Trenches
Mike McCabe isn’t a theorist. He’s a practitioner who has personally walked into hundreds of businesses, diagnosed their problems, and helped fix them.

And he’s built a reputation as the guy you call when you want someone who won’t sugarcoat it.
Whether you’re a $500K operation trying to break seven figures or an $8M company that can’t figure out why margins keep shrinking, The Profit Detective has seen your situation before — and he knows exactly where to look.
