Profitable on Paper.
Zero in the Bank.

You're doing the work. Winning the bids. Running the crew. And still short on cash, blind on job margins, and doing the CFO job yourself at midnight. CFOS — the Construction Financial Operating System — fixes that. It's running inside your business in 60 days.

The Problem

You Have a Bookkeeper and a CPA. Nobody In Between.

Your bookkeeper records transactions. Your CPA files taxes. Nobody is doing job costing, tracking WIP, or telling you what the numbers mean while there's still time to do something about it. That gap is where margin disappears — and where SPM works.

Josh Luebker built CFOS — the Construction Financial Operating System — as a former PM and master electrician who managed 150+ projects and $300M+ in volume. He watched profitable subs run out of cash on jobs he was running. He knows the failure patterns. He built the system to stop them.

Job Costing

Actual costs against your estimate by job and phase in real time. Know a job is going sideways at Week 4, not at closeout.

Cash Flow Forecasting

13-week rolling forecast updated weekly. Pay apps, payroll, and AP projected 90 days out. Low-cash weeks flagged before they hit.

Monthly CFO Advisory

Monthly working session — not a status update. P&L, WIP, cash position, and a specific action list. Problems get fixed, not just documented.

Bookkeeping

Full-service bookkeeping through ControlQore. AP coded to jobs. AR tracked by GC and aging. Books closed within 10 business days of month end.

WIP Reporting

Monthly WIP schedule updated before pay apps go out. Percent complete from the field — not assumed from billing. Bonding-ready every month.

ControlQore

Purpose-built for contractors. More affordable than legacy tools. SPM sets it up and manages it — you never have to learn new software.

No payroll. No tax prep. No scope gaps.  Full scope →

The System

Who This Is For

The Fit Is Specific.

Perfect Fit

$3M–$8M commercial subcontractor. You know something is off — cash is always tighter than the P&L suggests, you can't tell which jobs are actually making money, and you're doing the CFO job yourself between 10pm and midnight. You want it handled so you can run the business in about 5 hours a month.

Not a Fit

Residential contractors. Under $1M. Single-customer dependency where one GC is over 60% of revenue. Companies where the primary problem is sales, not finance. We'll tell you on the first call — no wasted time on either side.

Sound Familiar?

If Any of These Ring True, You're in the Right Place.

“We had our best revenue year ever and I almost missed payroll twice. I have no idea where the money went.”

Civil Sub — $4.2M Revenue

“My CPA gives me financials four months after the year ends. By then I can't do anything with them. I need someone monthly.”

Electrical Sub — $2.8M Revenue

“I know we're making money on some jobs and losing on others. I just can't tell which is which until it's already too late.”

Concrete Sub — $5.1M Revenue
