We don't do everyone's books. We only do construction. Custom builders, remodelers, GCs, spec builders, and commercial and specialty-trade contractors.
For builders who don't need a CFO yet. Solid books, closed on time, every month. NAHB-friendly chart of accounts from day one.
For contractors who want to know which jobs print cash before they finish. Full CFO + bookkeeping + integration stack, one flat monthly fee.
Custom AI systems for ServiceTitan contractors - missed-call revenue recovery, AI after-hours booking, dispatch automation, and a review engine, installed on the ServiceTitan you already run, with a milestone performance guarantee. Procore integration is in approval; Buildertrend is supported via custom build.
Your jobs run in one app. Your money lives in another. Your WIP lives in a third. We wire them together like a clean API. No duct tape. No copy-paste. Data flows. Numbers match.
Days 1 to 30. We fix your chart of accounts with NAHB categories. We reconcile your books. We find the money you missed.
Days 15 to 45. We connect QuickBooks to Buildertrend, Procore, Knowify, or CoConstruct. No more double entry. No more copy-paste.
Ongoing. Monthly close by the 15th. Weekly job cost reviews. You always know which jobs are printing cash and which are bleeding.
Day 60 plus. You get a 13-week cash map. Bank-ready WIP. A CFO in your corner every quarter.
Most contractors we talk to need at least two of these four roles. Sometimes three. Here is the honest breakdown of what each one actually does, and when it makes sense to bring each one in.
Records what happened.
What they do well
Scope
A traditional bookkeeper isn't trained in construction-specific reports like WIP schedules, retainage tracking, or job-level profitability. Those are specialty skills.
When to hire
Your books are clean and you mostly need someone reliable for monthly close, not forecasting or job-level analysis.
Files taxes and keeps you compliant.
What they do well
Scope
A CPA's job is to look back accurately, not to forecast next quarter's cash or call out an underperforming job mid-stream. Different muscle.
When to hire
Every contractor needs one. CPAs are the foundation of compliance, non-negotiable.
Looks forward. Reads the future of your books.
What they do well
Scope
A fractional CFO sits next to your bookkeeper and CPA, not in place of them. The output is forecasts and decisions, ours delivered through The Builder's Financial Command Center, not transaction entries or tax returns.
When to hire
You already have a bookkeeper and a CPA, but nobody is telling you what the numbers MEAN for next month's bidding.
Runs the entire finance function in-house.
What they do well
Scope
A full-time controller runs $130K to $200K per year all-in. Most contractors can't justify that overhead until the finance work is truly full-time.
When to hire
Your finance workload has grown to the point where it needs full-time, in-house ownership.
Salisbury CFO operates as your fractional CFO, sitting alongside your CPA and bookkeeper, not replacing them. If you don't have a CPA or bookkeeper yet, we'll refer good ones in your state who already understand construction.
