Cash flow surprises
Payroll and materials go out before client payments come in. You find out there is a gap when you are already in it.
Jobs that look good but are not
Company-wide numbers hide the one project losing money. Without job-level costing, you learn about it after the job is done.
No clear monthly picture
Your bookkeeper records what happened. Nobody turns it into decisions about pricing, hiring, or how much cash to hold.
What a fractional CFO does for you
The judgment of a senior finance leader, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Monthly financial reporting
Clean profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash reports, explained in plain language in a monthly meeting.
Job costing and profitability
Margin by project, compared to what you bid, so you see problems while there is still time to fix them.
Cash flow forecasting
A rolling forecast of what is coming in and going out, so payroll and material purchases never catch you off guard.
Collections and retainage tracking
Know how long clients really take to pay and how much of your money is tied up until projects close out.
Labor and payroll analysis
Cost per labor hour and billable utilization, so idle crews do not quietly erode your margin.
Budgeting and planning
Annual budgets and quarterly check-ins that tie your growth goals to the cash needed to reach them.
Six numbers we review with you every month
Everything else is noise. These are the measures that tell you whether the business is healthy and where to act.
Revenue and gross profit
Is your pricing holding up against labor and material costs?
Days sales outstanding
How long does money actually take to arrive, and is it stretching?
Profitability by job
Which projects are making money, and which are eating it?
Cash balance and forecast
What will your cash look like in the coming weeks, before it happens?
Labor utilization and cost per hour
How much crew time is billable, and what does each skill level cost you?
Retainage
How much of your money is held back, and when will it be released?
How we work together
Free cash flow review
A working conversation about your cash, your jobs, and where you feel blind. No cost, no obligation.
Set the baseline
We review your books and job data, fix what is getting in the way, and agree on the numbers that matter for your business.
Monthly rhythm
Each month you get your scorecard, a cash forecast, and a meeting to talk through what to do about it.
Plan ahead each quarter
Step back to look at pricing, hiring, equipment, and growth, backed by the cash to support them.
Plans and pricing
Every business needs something different. Contact us to discuss plans and pricing, and we will recommend the right fit after your free cash flow review.
Built for owners of $3M+ businesses
You have outgrown the spreadsheet and the part-time bookkeeper, but a full-time CFO is not in the budget yet. That is exactly where we fit.
General contractors and construction trades
Job-based work with slow-paying clients, retainage, and payroll that comes due long before payment does.
Growing companies that need to see where money goes
Revenue is up, but it is hard to say what is left after labor, materials, and overhead.
Owners without capacity for a full-time CFO
You want senior financial guidance a few hours a month, not another salary.
