Most contractors don't have a numbers problem — they have a clarity problem. I help owner-led construction companies set a financial North Star, find the levers that actually move it, and put real actions and owners behind each one.
Proof
Guiding a GC through a 12-month plan to climb from a $200k working-capital hole to $200k positive.
Moved an owner off competitive bidding to cost-plus — lifting fees from 4% to a 10%+ model that actually covers overhead and risk.
Owner-led builders and GCs, $4M–$15M — from Chattanooga to Chicago, Miami, and Boston.
How I drive results
Clean books are table stakes. The work that moves a construction business is deciding what number matters most, knowing what moves it, and actually acting — every month, not just at year-end.
We name the one financial outcome that matters most this year — the number that, if it moves, makes everything else easier. Profit, working capital, bondable backlog, owner pay.
We find the handful of levers that actually move that number — job margin, overhead coverage, billing cadence, committed-cost discipline. Not forty metrics. The few that count.
Every lever gets specific actions, a name attached, and a date. The plan lives in your numbers and gets reviewed every month — so progress is something you can see, not hope for.
Who this is for
I work with owner-led construction companies that want their financials to drive decisions and results. We start at the controller level and up, because that's where the real movement happens.
How I help
Most engagements start at the controller level and grow toward fractional CFO. Bookkeeping is a foundation, not a destination — if your books aren't ready to drive decisions, we'll get them there first.
Month-end close oversight, KPI reporting, and budget-vs-actual by job — your numbers reviewed every month.
DetailsNorth Star, levers, actions, and accountability — plus scenario modeling and a monthly strategy session for the decisions that define the next few years.
DetailsIf your books and job costing aren't ready to support real decisions, we fix that first. A starting line — not where we stop.
DetailsThe point of the work
Good financials answer questions and point to action. If yours can't answer these clearly, that's the first lever we pull.
How we start
Not a sales call, and not a books cleanup. It's a working session — in person — where I get a clear, honest read on your company's financial position and we talk through your goals for the business. You'll leave knowing where you actually stand and whether I'm the right person to help you reach those goals.
