FRACTIONAL CFO FOR DRYWALL CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for drywall 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.
Drywall sits in the middle of the schedule with no float, so the finance function is mostly about documenting what other people did to your hours. We keep a back-charge log that runs both directions, because this trade both absorbs damage and causes it, and $500 and $3,000 hits go by uncounted job after job. We split hanger and finisher cost codes, since they're different labor markets on different piece rates sold under one unit price, and blended tracking hides which half of the operation earns. We also get the inspection standard into the contract, because a finish judged with a flashlight down an unlit hallway is free rework every single time.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Flashlight Tax
Finish quality judged under the wrong light becomes free rework. Without contract language fixing the inspection standard (permanent lighting, perpendicular view), every punch walk is a negotiation the sub loses.
The Damage Economy
Drywall both absorbs and causes back-charges, and most subs track neither direction. Two untracked flows of $500 and $3,000 hits, job after job, is where the margin between 5.5 percent actual and the 10 percent CFOS target lives.
The Middle Squeeze
Drywall inherits upstream delay with no float and pays for it in overtime and stacked crews. At 19 percent gross margin, the thinnest in the interiors group besides framing, compression cost that's not documented and billed is margin donated to the schedule. (cfos-cash-flow-cycle-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.
Prevailing wage note: Drywall 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, and your office stops keying the same numbers twice every week.
