Fractional CFO Services for Electrical Subcontractors
Real job costing, cash flow forecasting, and financial clarity for $1M–$15M trades.
If you're running a crew and still guessing at job costs or wondering why the bank account’s empty after a profitable job, this is for you.
We help electricians get control of their numbers, forecast material and labor timing, and stop margin bleed before it hits payroll.
What Does a Construction CFO Actually Do?
A Construction CFO isn’t a bookkeeper. And they’re not just someone who closes your books at the end of the month.
They help you see job bleed in real time, project cash flow, and trust your estimates especially when labor shifts, change orders stack up, or T&M billing gets sloppy.
While your CPA looks backward, a CFO looks ahead. We help you:
Track estimated vs. actual labor on every job
Forecast cash needs weeks out (especially when billing lags)
Clean up job cost codes by phase, rough-in, trim, closeout, so you know what parts of the job actually make money.
Understand true breakeven based on crew size and burden
Overbill smartly to stay ahead of payroll and material costs
It’s not about reports. It’s about control, over your money, your bids, and your growth.
Built for Subcontractors, Not Corporate Suits
We work best with electrical subcontractors who:
Run $1M to $15M electrical businesses
Handle rough-in, trim, service, or design-build scopes
Work across commercial, residential, or industrial
Struggle to trust their numbers or know job-level margin
Want clarity, not chaos
If you've ever said “I think we made money on that job” this is for you.

Built for Electrical Subcontractors.
Proven in the Field.
We’ve worked with electrical subs doing everything from $800K to $33M.
What we saw was always the same: Projects looked fine on paper, but there was no cash.
SPM works because:
We track labor, materials, and profit weekly not 60 days late
You forecast instead of guess
We review your numbers live with you, not just hand you a report
It’s not generic advice it’s built for your trade from a Master Electrician
You don’t need another tool. You need clarity and strategy that makes your jobs more profitable.
“It wasn’t that the jobs were bad. It’s that no one was tracking the right numbers.”
What Subs Say After 30 Days
“I used to base my labor rates on memory. SPM helped me break it out by rough-in, trim, and closeout and that alone added 6 points to my margin.”
