FRACTIONAL CFO FOR FIBER CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for fiber 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.
Fiber gets paid per foot and per splice on the carrier's calendar, and the invoice doesn't open until the closeout audit clears. So the finance function here is documentation-complete billing: as-builts, GIS packages, and compliance paper finished alongside the production, because production that outruns paperwork is unbillable inventory lying in the trench. We give make-ready its own variance report instead of treating it as a pass-through, since one outside-plant construction director puts the five-year increase near 300 percent and the fiber builder pays it up front. Then the 13 week forecast carries the BEAD compliance load, which runs ahead of revenue on funded work.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Carrier's Calendar
Unit-price MSAs pay per foot and per splice on the carrier's terms, gated by closeout documentation. Crews get paid Friday; the carrier pays when the audit clears. The gap is where fiber contractors meet factoring salesmen.
The Pole Owner's Price
Make-ready costs are set, scheduled, and invoiced by the utility that owns the pole, and one industry director puts the five-year increase near 300 percent. A pass-through that triples without its own variance report is a margin event nobody has priced.
The Paperwork Mile
As-builts, GIS packages, and compliance documentation gate every dollar of BEAD and carrier money. Production that outruns documentation is unbillable inventory lying in the ground. (cfos-cash-flow-cycle-system) ---
