Construction success strategies

We help construction companies achieve success by focusing on the factors that drive three key areas:

  • Revenue
  • Profit
  • Cash Flow

Define and achieve success

Together we identify specific action steps so you can achieve your own success however you define it...

  • More cash in the bank
  • Less stress on the job
  • More personal time

Does This Sound Like Your Business Right Now?

• Your financial statements land on your desk — and still don’t tell you what to do next.

• You know something’s driving up costs. You just can’t put your finger on it.

• Day-to-day jobs eat every hour you have — there’s no time left to plan where the business is headed.

• Cash gets tight right when it’s time to pay subs and vendors, and you’re never quite sure why.

• You have a good crew and a good reputation. What you don’t have is a CFO in your corner.

• Some days, you feel like you’re running this business alone.


Now Picture This Instead...

• Six months of cash sitting in the bank — not scraped together at the last minute.

• A dashboard that shows you, in plain English, exactly what’s driving profit (and what’s killing it).

• A real number for what your business is worth — and a plan to grow it.

• More time at home. Less time firefighting.

• A CFO on your side who’s already solved this problem for other contractors and knows exactly how to fix it for you.

Here’s Exactly What Happens When You Work With Us

Testimonials

"I can’t imagine where I would be if James and Harris were not my CPA firm. Tim, Julie, Sherry, and the rest of the staff have truly taken care of me and my multiple companies for well over a decade. They were instrumental in helping me sell one of my companies in 2024 for much more than I expected."

— KD, Contractor, $10 million in sales

"This process has helped me look at my business from ‘above.’ There are items this process brought to my attention that needed correction, and it has helped me make the corrections. I am glad to have taken this opportunity."

— MG, Contractor, $8 million in sales

A Few Honest Answers Before You Call

“I already have a bookkeeper / CPA.” Good — we’re not replacing them. Construction CFO works alongside your existing team. We go beyond the numbers to specific action.

“This sounds expensive.” Compare it to what one unexpected cash crunch costs you. Plans start at $1,995/month — less than most contractors spend on a single piece of equipment.

“I don’t have time for another meeting.” That’s exactly why the process is built the way it is — a handful of focused check-ins, not another thing on your plate.
