Construction Financial Leadership
What is a Fractional Controller?
Most contractors have a bookkeeper who records history. A Fractional Controller helps you shape the future.
We don't just categorize transactions—we build the financial systems that protect your margins. We partner with your existing team to provide the high-level analysis that standard bookkeeping ignores.

High-level financial oversight designed specifically for construction
WIP Reporting (Work in Process)
Why do contractors need WIP reports?
You don't know if you're making money until the job is done. WIP schedules track the exact value of every project in motion—so you can spot overbilling, prevent profit fade, and give lenders the precise reports they need.
ASC 606 Revenue Recognition
What is ASC 606 and why does it matter?
Recognizing revenue by "invoices sent" gives you a false picture of profit. We implement Percentage-of-Completion (POC) accounting—recognizing revenue based on actual field progress, not billing cycles. This keeps you compliant with sureties and banks.
13-Week Cash Flow Forecasting
How do you prevent cash flow surprises?
"I have money in the bank, but I can't pay my subs." We build a predictive cash flow engine that forecasts payroll, material draws, and retainage payouts 13 weeks into the future—so retainage never surprises your bank account.
Tech Stack Integration
Why doesn't my PM software match QuickBooks?
Your Project Management software (Buildertrend, Procore, Knowify) doesn't sync automatically. We act as the bridge—ensuring your cost codes sync perfectly with your QuickBooks Online General Ledger, eliminating double-entry and data errors.
Common Questions About Our Financial Systems
A WIP (Work in Process) report is a financial tool that tracks the exact value of a project in motion. It tells you if you are "overbilled" (cash positive) or "underbilled" (funding the job yourself). We build this for you so you don't pay taxes on phantom profit or run out of cash midway through a job.
ASC 606 is the revenue recognition standard required for many contractors. Instead of recognizing revenue when you send an invoice, we help you recognize revenue based on the percentage of completion. This provides a true picture of your financial health and keeps you compliant with banks and sureties.
Yes. This is our "Clean Up & Catch Up" service. We will audit your current setup in QuickBooks and your project management software (like Buildertrend), restructure your Chart of Accounts to industry standards, and recategorize past transactions so your historical data is accurate.
Yes! Why pay for both? We handle both. We will clean up your books and act as the strategic oversight. We review our work, close the books at month-end, and provide the high-level financial reporting that a standard bookkeeper typically isn't trained to produce.
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) provides a standardized chart of accounts designed specifically for construction. Using this standard allows you to benchmark your profit margins against industry averages. If your books aren't set up this way, you can't accurately compare your performance to the market.
Yes. While we are based in Utah, our systems are 100% cloud-based. We serve General Contractors, Custom Home Builders, and Large Subcontractors nationwide, leveraging tools like QuickBooks Online and Zoom to manage your financials seamlessly.
Most clean-up projects take 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. A single year of neglected books can typically be corrected in 2 weeks. Multiple years or heavily disorganized records may take 4-6 weeks. We'll provide a timeline after our initial assessment call.
