FRACTIONAL CFO FOR MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for mechanical 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.
Mechanical is the most equipment-dominated contract in the MEP family, so procurement structure comes first. Chillers quote 20 to 85 weeks in 2026 with commercial chilled-water systems benchmarked at 48 to 60 weeks, deposits leave at release, and storage, insurance, and rigging carry from there, so a schedule of values that doesn't bill deposits and stored equipment explicitly makes you the project's procurement bank. We split cost codes by discipline, because sheet metal fabrication, pipe crews, and controls technicians are three labor markets with three cost curves inside one price and there's no way to tell which shop earns without the split. Then we separate service from construction, since the trade's 10.5 percent ceiling at $25M to $50M is the highest of the 48 and it belongs to operators who manage both books on purpose.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Equipment Float
Chillers at 20 to 85 weeks, deposits at release, payment at delivery: the mechanical contractor is a procurement bank unless the SOV bills deposits and stored equipment explicitly. In 2026's lead-time market, the float is the job.
The Three-Shop Contract
Sheet metal, piping, and controls are separate businesses inside one price. Divisional cost codes by discipline are the only way to know which shop earns and which one rides.
The Subsidy Nobody Ordered
Service and construction run opposite cash and margin profiles, and blended books let one silently fund the other for years. The trade's best-in-dataset net ceiling belongs to operators who split the book and manage both on purpose. (cfos-job-profitability-system) ---

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.
