Question 1

We already have a bookkeeper. Why would we switch?

Accepted Answer

Quick test: Can you tell right now which of your active jobs are hitting their margin targets? Got a 13-week cash flow forecast? Are change orders flowing automatically from the field to invoicing? If any of those are a no, you don't have a bookkeeping problem - you have a systems gap. Most of our clients had bookkeepers before us. The difference is we build construction-specific financial systems that connect your PM software to QuickBooks, give you real-time job costing, and produce reports your bank actually wants to see.

Question 2

How much does this actually cost?

Accepted Answer

We price by scope, not by a public menu, because a $1.5M remodeler and an $8M GC do not need the same work. You move through a three-step ladder: a fixed-fee 14-Day Financial X-Ray (free for exit or PE-track owners above $10M), a fixed-scope 6-Week Profit Command Sprint, then a monthly Command Retainer scoped to your revenue and workload. Books are handled inside the engagement, never a separate fee. For scale, a full-time construction CFO costs $170,000 to $360,000 a year all-in per CFMA 2025; a fractional seat is a fraction of that. You get the exact number in writing on a free call before you pay anything. Real single-client outcomes include $8,400 in change orders recovered in 60 days, $34,000 in retainage collected in a quarter, and AR cut by 21 days for a $4.5M GC.

Question 3

What makes you different from other construction bookkeeping firms?

Accepted Answer

Three things. First, construction is all we do - every system, process, and report is built for how construction money moves. Second, we connect your PM software (Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, Knowify) directly with QuickBooks so there is no double entry. Third, we operate as your fractional CFO - not just someone who categorizes expenses, but a strategic partner who forecasts cash flow, flags underperforming jobs, and gives you reports your bank and bonding agent will accept.

Question 4

Do I have to switch to QuickBooks Online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QuickBooks Online is the only platform that integrates properly with Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, and Knowify, which means your field data flows directly into your financials without anyone retyping numbers. Desktop does not support these integrations. We handle the full migration including chart of accounts, historical data, and open invoices.
