Hello. It's Great to Meet You.
Please Tell Us How We Can Help.
HELP US MANAGE & GROW
Our fractional CFOs do more than read your financials.
They interpret, challenge, and translate them into a clear picture of not only where your business stands and, equally important, where it's likely headed in the short, mid, and long terms, and where it could go given varying scenarios. No more running your business
on gut feelings and QuickBooks reports you're not entirely sure you can trust.
HELP US CONTROL JOB COSTS
Our fractional bookrunning team maintains forecasted outcomes in real time, as your jobs and projects progress. WIP, Actual vs. Budget, Remaining Cost to Complete, Project-Specific P&L and a short list of other relevant course-of-construction reports will enable you to keep your finger on the pulse of your jobs and projects in real time. Say goodbye to autopsies, conducted after rigor mortis has set in and it's too late to administer CPR.
Our fractional rainmakers bring decades of experience placing debt, sponsoring Reg D offerings and negotiating win-win P3 structures. And they bring something equally valuable to your conference table: relationships. Whether you're financing spec homes, a big fix-and-flip deal, or a large-scale commercial development, we know where the right money is hiding and how to present your deal in a way that gets it funded.
HELP US RAISE MONEY
HELP US WITH SOFTWARE
Our fractional software experts have experience working in more construction-centric platforms than most contractors knew existed. That means we know which ones are worth your time, which ones aren't, and which ones only work if they're set up correctly from day one, which most aren't. We'll match you to the right platform for your size, workflow, and budget. And we'll implement it and train your team to ensure the adoption sticks.
We intimateluy understand construction accounting.
Job costing, WIP reporting, draw schedules, retainage, over/under billing, project-specific P&Ls . . .we live in
these numbers every day so you don't have to.
We're construction-specific CFOs, controllers, and
bookrunners who know the difference between a
balance sheet that looks healthy and one that actually
is. We work on a fractional basis, which means you get
the expertise of a best-in-class back office without the overhead of full-time employees. No guessing at your
margins. No surprises at tax time. And no discovering
at the end of a job that the math never made sense in
the first place.
What you get instead are clean books, real numbers,
and a team that stays close to your financials. So close
as to be able to tell you what's coming before it hits
you (now that's close!).
SOFTWARE IS OUR SALVATION
We speak fluent software. Buildertrend, CoConstruct,
Procore, QuickBooks, Acumatica, and more. Although we
sometimes must ask Brian, our Super Smart
Computer Guy, to rescue us, we've worked in it all
and we'll work in whatever you've got. We're platform
agnostic the same way a good contractor is
tool agnostic: we'll use whatever tool gets the
job done in the most cost-effective, efficient way.
But we definitely have our favorites. And the occasional
full-blown crush. At the moment, we're smitten
with the combination of the new Intuit Enterprise Suite
Construction Edition with Ressio. Goes together like
hot chocolate and whipped cream. Or like macaroni and
cheese. Both platforms are new and both are wicked
smart. Combined, they resolve many of the frustrations
we'd come to begrudgingly accept from being daily
power users of QuickBooks Online + Buildertrend.
Or QuickBooks Online + CoConstruct.
We're not saying this crush is serious, but (wink) we are
actively clearing space on our desktops for it.
We're capital savvy. Construction loans, bridge financing, mezzanine debt, Reg D offerings, joint ventures, public-private partnerships . . .we've structured them all and we'll structure whatever your deal requires. We're
capital-source agnostic the same way a good contractor is tool agnostic: we'll use whichever resource
gets your project funded on the very best possible terms.
That said, we definitely have our preferences. We like patient capital. We like lenders who understand
construction draws. And we have no patience for term sheets that look great on page one and then go on to reveal their true intentions on page two. And page three.
And twice on page four.
Can't get those into the shredder quickly enough.
We bring to the table decades of experience placing debt and raising equity for residential and commercial
construction projects. And deep relationships with capital sources who actually understand how construction works.
COLLABORATION IS OUR CALLING
There are many reasons why the most successful
Homebuilders, Real Estate Developers and Commercial
General Contractors sit in peer groups. But the most
compelling reason, we think, is because the smartest
guy in the room is rarely one person.
Our Mastermind Peer Group Program is where smart
group think happens. Roundtable discussions, structured
accountability, guest speakers, benchmarking and best
practice sharing. We facilitate epiphanies by designing
collaborative events that work best for your group. And
we do this by calling together curated groups of non-
competing Homebuilders, Real Estate Developers, and
Small- to Mid-Sized Commercial General Contractors
who are each and all serious about being the best
managers they can be and who each aspire to run the
best-managed companies they can run. Leaders who are
honest about their numbers and who are willing to be
both vulnerable enough to ask for help and gracious enough
to freely give it.
And, yet, at the end of the day here's the harsh reality: yes,
we're good at what we do but, fact remains, the most
valuable aspect of a well-run peer group isn't the agenda.
Or the vacation resort where the meeting happens. No, it's
the person sitting across the table from you who's already
dealt with and solved the problem you're losing sleep over.
As for that, as for the people involved in our programs,
this is where we excel over all of the others.
