FRACTIONAL CFO FOR CONCRETE PUMPING CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for concrete pumping subcontractors doing $1M to $12M: job costing aligned to the way you estimate, a 13 week cash flow forecast, monthly WIP, and a CFO in the room every month. Pricing starts at $1,900 per month.
Pumping sells truck-days, so that's the statement we build first. The dispatchable unit is one certified operator on one machine, and the P&L is how many 3-to-4-hour minimums that unit stacks in a day against drive time between them. We rebuild the rate sheet so every recoverable cost has a line: standby at $125 to $200 an hour with a cause code on the ticket, fuel surcharge, hose beyond included footage, washout, and weekend premium. Then we run utilization per unit against ownership cost, because a boom is a six-figure asset with insurance at $5,000 to $15,000 a year that costs the same whether it pumps or parks.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Minimum Sold Twice
The 3-to-4-hour minimum is the unit of capacity, and dispatch density (how many minimums a truck stacks in a day against drive time) is the P&L. A truck-day report by dispatch is the trade's core statement.
The Clock That Waits
Late ready-mix, slow finishers, and missed staging windows run the pump's meter only if the rate sheet names standby and the ticket logs the cause. Waiting is the best-margin hour or the purest donation; the paper decides.
The Parked Boom
The capacity unit is a certified operator on a six-figure machine with insurance and maintenance whether it pumps or not. Per-truck utilization against ownership cost is the fleet decision that precedes every quote. (cfos-working-capital-system) ---

The onboarding fee covers migrating your books back to the start of your last taxable year and getting you fully operational in 60 days. It's billed once, with your first invoice. It's the same for all three tiers. Your first month is prorated, and your monthly engagement starts on the first of the first full month.
Range reflects the three tiers below. Which one you're in depends on how much of the work you want off your desk. No payroll. No hidden line items. The onboarding fee is right here in the table.
You stop guessing.
You get the CFO work. Job costing built against the way you estimate, a 13 week cash forecast, monthly WIP, and a meeting every month that ends in decisions and never in a report.
Your bookkeeper still does the books.
You stop touching the books.
Everything in Core, and we run the bookkeeping and the controllership as well. Your office stops answering coding questions and stops chasing a reconciliation on the last day of the month.
We do the books. No payroll.
Every job shows its margin while it's still running.
Everything in Executive, plus the job costing and WIP platform set up, loaded with your cost codes, and managed for you every month. You never have to learn it.
We do the books, the job costing, and the software. No payroll.
