THE FINANCE & ACCOUNTING TEAM THAT SCALES WITH YOUR Construction or contracting FIRM

Accelerate growth with a complete finance and accounting solution designed for growing construction and contractor businesses, from home services and specialty trades to HVAC, electrical, plumbing, tree services, and home builders.

THE PROBLEM:

TRADITIONAL FINANCE & ACCOUNTING ISN’T ENOUGH

Your construction business is poised for rapid growth. But your finance and accounting capabilities are stretched thin. Growing contractors need more than bookkeeping and tax compliance. They need more than cookie-cutter KPIs, basic outsourced accounting services, and after-the-fact job costing. Managing cash flow, scaling operations, protecting project profitability, and maximizing business value require a solution for the unique challenges of construction growth. 

THE SOLUTION:

FINANCE & ACCOUNTING FOR CONSTRUCTION & CONTRACTOR COMPANIES

Welcome to Growth Driven Finance. It’s a comprehensive approach to finance and accounting, designed with one purpose—to maximize enterprise valuation. Get the high-level financial leadership your firm needs, so you can tackle every growth stage with confidence. Whether you’re a general contractor, a specialty trade subcontractor, a heavy civil or site work firm, a homebuilder or developer, or a service business with a growing construction arm, we tailor our services to how you actually bid, build, and bill.

PROJECT PROFITABILITY & WIP

  • Monthly WIP schedule with cost-to-complete reviewed with your project managers 
  • Estimated vs. actual gross profit by job 
  • Committed costs—POs and subcontracts—against incurred costs, so exposure shows up early 
  • Labor burden and equipment rates that put real cost on the job, not in overhead 

FINANCE

  • Identify & measure the KPIs that actually move your business, then drive understanding & alignment across ownership & operations 
  • Manage cash through retainage, progress billing, and pay-when-paid terms so the billing-to-cost gap doesn’t drive the business
  • Manage backlog & pipeline volume, margin, burn rate, win-rate, and conversion trends
  • Test estimating patterns against actuals to spot margin fade and over-or-under-estimating cost
  • Manage estimated cost to complete on every open job 
  • Strengthen lender relationships and bonding capacity
  • Prepare for an acquisition or your exit

ACCOUNTING

  • Tackle all bookkeeping, deliver reporting on or before same day, every month
  • Profitability by customer, job, service line, or project
  • Job costing and work-in-progress reporting  
  • Reconcile booked revenue against earned revenue so results reflect real completion, not billing timing  
  • Progress billings and retainage tracking 
  • Produce GAAP reporting, budgets, and forecasts 
  • Audit-ready financials (when it’s time), working alongside your CPA and surety

We take clients to and through successful transitions and exits. Whether it’s an outright or partial sale to private equity or a strategic buyer, a management buyout or an ESOP, Growth Driven Finance helps you prepare, position, navigate diligence, and manage the transaction and transition with confidence. We help you find the right outcome for you, your stakeholders and your team.

WE’VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES

Driven Insights was founded by investors and business operators.

After years of evaluating businesses as potential acquisition candidates, and experiencing first-hand the challenges that inadequate financial systems, processes and personnel pose for growth-minded companies, one thing was clear:

useful, timely, accurate data can create a competitive advantage by informing business decisions—big and small.

The result? We’ve developed a complete solution to help deserving construction and contractor businesses transform their financials into a competitive advantage, so they can raise capital, maximize enterprise value and ultimately close on successful exit opportunities. It’s time to manage your firm through the lens of an operator AND an investor.
