FRACTIONAL CFO FOR DEMOLITION CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for demolition 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.
Demolition is the one trade where a third of the cost leaves on a truck, so we start at the scale house. Tipping and hauling run 20 to 30 percent of project cost, the national average gate rate moved about 10 percent in a year to roughly $62 a ton, and a bid built on last year's rate donates the increase on every load. We track per-ton actuals against the bid rate as a weekly variance, put the pre-demolition survey on the schedule of values as a billed line, and keep a per-job scrap ledger with grades, weights, and settlement paper. Then we carry the 5 to 15 percent contingency the trade's own professionals price, so a PCB ballast found mid-swing becomes a change order instead of an argument.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Survey Skipped
Hazmat discovered mid-swing stops the machine and adds $2 to $7 per square foot under abatement protocol. The pre-demolition survey is a billed line and a change-order trigger, or it's the most expensive thing the contractor never charged for.
The Gate Rate
Disposal runs 20 to 30 percent of project cost, and tipping fees moved about 10 percent in a year to roughly $62 per ton. Per-ton actuals tracked against the bid rate is the trade's simplest, highest-value variance report.
The Untracked Paycheck in the Pile
Salvage is contract consideration: ferrous drives the tonnage, non-ferrous drives the margin, and disputes go to court. A per-job scrap ledger with grading, weights, and settlement documentation turns a guess into revenue. (cfos-job-profitability-system) ---

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.
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 rather than a report.
Your bookkeeper keeps doing the books.
You stop touching the books.
Everything in Core, and we run the bookkeeping and the controllership as well. Nobody in your office is answering coding questions or chasing a reconciliation at month end.
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 job costing.
Prevailing wage note: Demolition work often runs on public bids, which means certified payroll and wage classifications have to line up with the job cost record. ControlQore holds the classification against the cost code, so the certified report and the job cost report come from the same data instead of somebody keying the same numbers twice every week.
