FRACTIONAL CFO FOR PAVING CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for paving 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.
Paving buys by the ton and sells by the square yard at a depth, so the first report we build reconciles plant tickets against placed quantity on every job. Waste, over-depth, and handwork all live in that spread, and a quarter inch of over-depth across a big lot is an invisible donation nobody catches without the reconciliation. We carry index-tied escalation language into private bids, because DOT contracts adjust pay to the liquid asphalt index automatically and most private contracts leave the same contractor fully exposed on the same commodity. Then we build a winter reserve against a compressed season, since plant windows and temperature floors concentrate the year's revenue while the fleet and the overhead run twelve months.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Unhedged Tuesday
DOT work adjusts pay to the liquid asphalt index automatically; private work leaves the same contractor fully exposed on the same commodity. Carrying index-tied escalation language into private bids is the trade's single highest-value contract habit.
The Ticket-to-Yield Gap
Bought by the ton, sold by the square yard: waste, over-depth, and handwork live in the spread between plant tickets and placed quantity, and nobody sees the donation until the reconciliation runs per job.
The Ninety-Day Season
Plant schedules, temperature floors, and a compressed calendar concentrate the year's revenue into a window, while the fleet and the overhead run twelve months. The winter reserve isn't a luxury; it's the business model. (cfos-working-capital-system) ---

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.
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.
Prevailing wage note: Paving 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 instead of somebody keying the same numbers twice every week.
