THE FINANCE & ACCOUNTING TEAM THAT SCALES WITH YOUR GROWING Construction FIRM

Accelerate growth with a complete solution designed for construction and contractor businesses.

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 confidenceWhether 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 relevant KPIs
  • Drive KPI understanding & alignment
  • Manage cash flow and working capital around retainage, progress billing cycles, and pay-when-paid terms
  • Backlog reporting: volume, margin, and burn rate, so you know what you’re actually sold into 
  • 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  
  • Progress billings and retainage tracking
