SOUND FAMILIAR?
You're great at building, but your books are holding you back.
Busy — but where's the profit?
Revenue is up and the crew is booked solid, yet the bank balance doesn't show it. You can't tell which jobs made money.
Bidding on gut feel
Every quote is a guess — and change orders and overruns eat the margin you planned for.
Cash crunch between draws
Payroll, suppliers and subs are due before the client pays, and holdbacks tie up cash you've already earned.
Books always behind
Receipts pile up, reconciliations slip and you only see last quarter's numbers when it's too late to act on them.
HOW WE HELP
A finance team that understands the job site.
We set your books up the way a construction business actually runs — by job, by phase, by draw — then keep them current every month.
01
Job costing you can trust
Labor, materials, subs and equipment tracked to each job, so you see true margins and bid the next one with confidence.
02
Cash flow you see coming
Progress billing, collections and holdback tracking, plus a rolling forecast so payroll is never a surprise.
03
Decisions backed by numbers
WIP schedules, job profitability and overhead analysis that show where to raise prices, cut costs or grow.
