Bookkeeping Built for Security & Alarm Companies

Alarm companies are valued on one number: RMR. Recurring monthly revenue is what buyers pay multiples on, what lenders lend against, and what separates a security business from a low-margin install shop. Yet most alarm company books can't produce a reliable RMR figure, can't show attrition, and can't say whether installs are creating recurring accounts at a profit or subsidizing them into existence.

What alarm company books need to get right

  • RMR tracked as a first-class metric, monitored accounts, rate per account, additions and cancellations, monthly
  • Attrition reporting, because a growing install calendar can hide a shrinking recurring base
  • Monitoring wholesale costs (central station fees, cellular backhaul) netted against RMR so recurring margin is explicit
  • Install economics costed honestly: hardware, labor, and subsidy per new account versus the RMR it created
  • Equipment inventory, panels, cameras, sensors, tracked from purchase to install
  • Deferred revenue on annual monitoring prepays and service plans

Books that raise your multiple

When alarm accounts trade, buyers diligence the RMR ledger hard. Books that cleanly prove the recurring base, its margin, and its attrition history don't just run the business better, they measurably raise what it sells for.
