Salisbury CFO logoSSALISBURYCFO
Fractional CFO for spec builders and commercial contractors

Bank-ready books. Bonding-grade.

For spec home builders and commercial contractors who live and die by their WIP schedule, their draws, and their bonding line.

Sound familiar?

Commercial and spec books get complicated fast.

  • 01

    Your surety wants a cleaner WIP schedule. You don't have the time to build it.

  • 02

    You carry three speculative builds and can't tell which ones are on pace.

  • 03

    Retainage is sitting out there for months. No one's chasing it.

  • 04

    Over- and under-billings are a mystery. Your P&L looks nothing like your draws.

  • 05

    Your lender wants year-over-year comparatives. Your books can't produce them cleanly.

What we deliver

Built for the lender, the surety, and the 7 AM job walk.

Every piece below runs inside The Builder's Financial Command Center - one system where your WIP, retainage, draws, and cash all tie out to the same numbers.

✓

Bank-ready WIP, every month

Percentage-of-completion done right. Over/under-billings calculated clean. Your banker and bonding agent both smile.

✓

Retainage tracked to the dollar

We run a weekly retainage aging report. Nothing gets forgotten. You get paid faster.

✓

Bonding paperwork that works

We build your bonding packet to the format your surety already trusts. No more scrambling before deadlines.

✓

Speculative job accounting

For spec builds: we track land, construction-in-progress, carrying cost, and gain-on-sale separately. Tax-ready.

✓

Draw package in 48 hours

Not two weeks. Your lender starts trusting the packet - and draws clear faster.

✓

13-week cash, across all jobs

One rolling forecast that sees every open job. You see cash crunches before they hit.
