I know it\u2019s been a while, but I didn't forget you. This is Norhalma, and today I\u2019m here with a message that feels both bittersweet and full of hope. After more than a decade of serving contractors through Fast Easy Accounting\u2026 after countless conversations, resources, templates, job costing tips, and systems\u2026 today\u2019s episode marks the closing of a chapter \u2014 and the beginning of a brand-new one. This will be my final episode under the FEA Contractor Success MAP Podcast. But it is not the end of this journey. It is simply the next step forward. Whether you\u2019ve been a long-time listener since Randal started this podcast, tuned in last year when I took over, or this is your first time, I want you to hear this message clearly and personally. Today is about gratitude, transition, and what comes next in 2026. First, thank you. Truly. To everyone who has listened over the years: Thank you for showing up. Thank you for learning, for growing, for improving your business, and for caring enough about your future to invest time in education. Contractors are the backbone of every community. You build the world around us \u2014 homes, roads, businesses, and safe spaces for families. Your work deserves tools and systems that support your success. Through the years, this podcast has tried to give you precisely that: Better job costing better bookkeeping habits better business clarity better workflows and practical steps to run a more profitable company And it has been an honor to be part of that journey. Why is this transition happening now? Fast Easy Accounting has reached the end of its chapter. The business is closing, and with it, the FEA-branded podcast comes to a natural end. At the same time, contractors' needs have evolved. Ten years ago, the most significant questions were: \u201cHow do I job cost properly?\u201d \u201cHow do I keep my books clean?\u201d \u201cHow do I avoid cash flow surprises?\u201d Today, contractors ask: \u201cHow do I get better leads?\u201d \u201cHow do I keep track of my quotes and jobs?\u201d \u201cDo I need a website?\u201d \u201cHow do I manage all the digital tools?\u201d \u201cHow do I make my business run smoother without working 80 hours a week?\u201d The world changed. The industry changed. And the way contractors run their companies has changed. That\u2019s why I\u2019m shifting my work into something new \u2014 something built for the modern contractor. Introducing Cobuildery \u2013 launching in 2026 Cobuildery is my new brand and focus. It\u2019s designed to help contractors build not just projects\u2026 but systems that support their entire business. Cobuildery will focus on: Contractor Websites Professional, clean, mobile-friendly sites that actually bring in leads \u2014 not just sit online. Website Care & Monthly Maintenance Plans Most contractors don\u2019t have the time or desire to deal with updates, plugins, hosting issues, or security. Contractor OBM (Online Business Manager) Services Ongoing support to help you handle: digital organization lead tracking communication systems workflows scheduling tools templates business structure This is the back-office support many contractors wish they had\u2014and can now access. What happens to the podcast? This is not truly a goodbye. Instead, it\u2019s a pause. In 2026, the podcast will return \u2014 under the Cobuildery name. It will still be focused on contractor success, but with new topics that match what contractors need today: How to set up a contractor website that actually converts How to organize your digital tools How to track jobs without chaos How to simplify the business side How to market your contracting business How to build systems that save time and increase profit Same heart. Same mission. New tools. New energy. New chapter. If you\u2019ve loved this podcast, you\u2019ll feel at home when we reopen in 2026. A message to long-time listeners. Some of you have been here since the earliest years of FEA. You\u2019ve been through slow seasons, busy seasons, business transitions, challenges, and growth. And you\u2019ve trusted this podcast to walk alongside you. I want you to know that trust means the world to me. You are the reason this podcast exists. You are the reason the next chapter exists. And I hope you\u2019ll join me when Cobuildery launches. What you can do next. If you want updates when the new Cobuildery podcast launches in 2026: Stay subscribed \u2014 the feed will update when the new show begins. Follow the launch of Cobuildery next year \u2014 especially if you need help with website setup, digital systems, or OBM support. I am not leaving the industry. I am simply shifting into a space where I can help contractors more powerfully and sustainably.   Bookkeeping services will not be offered at this time. However, the QuickBooks Online service specifically for contractors will be reintroduced. If you\u2019ve relied on our bookkeeping support in the past, please know that while this part of the business is closing for now, the QuickBooks Online solutions tailored for contractors will be available again as part of the Cobuildery relaunch. \ud83c\udf31 One final thank you. Thank you for every download. Every episode you listened to. Every review. Every message. Every contractor who said, \u201cThis helped me.\u201d Every business owner who kept going because of something you learned here. The Contractor Success MAP isn\u2019t ending. It\u2019s evolving \u2014 just like you. From Fast Easy Accounting\u2026 to Cobuildery\u2026 The mission remains the same: Help contractors build stronger, clearer, more profitable businesses. This is not goodbye. This is a step forward. I\u2019ll see you in 2026 \u2014 in a brand-new podcast chapter under Cobuildery.
