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.
