FRACTIONAL CFO FOR CURTAIN WALL / GLAZING CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for curtain wall / glazing 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.
Glazing spends five figures before a single unit ships, so the schedule of values is the first fix. A performance mock-up runs $30,000 to $80,000, structural calculations and product approvals stack on top, and fabricator deposits leave the account before production starts, all of it months ahead of an installation milestone. We bill engineering, mock-ups, deposits, and stored material as their own lines, then treat the submittal calendar as a cash calendar since custom curtain wall runs 16 to 24 weeks from approved shop drawings to first delivery. We also cost idle crew days and document delivery slips, because glass in a plant queue can't be crewed up and a subcontractor waits 56 days on average after submitting a pay application.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Fabrication Queue
Nothing bills until shop drawings approve, and custom curtain wall runs 16 to 24 weeks from approval to first delivery. The submittal phase is the cash phase: every review cycle is financed by the glazier.
The Front-Loaded Five Figures
Performance mock-ups run $30,000 to $80,000, engineering and calculations stack on top, and fabricator deposits leave before production starts. A schedule of values that starts billing at installation finances the entire preconstruction phase for free.
The Unaccelerable Schedule
Glass in a plant queue can't be crewed up, and one missed delivery idles the whole installation crew while every other trade keeps billing. Idle-crew cost tracking and delay documentation are the difference between a claim and a loss. (cfos-job-profitability-system) ---
