FRACTIONAL CFO FOR PROCESS PIPING CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for process piping 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.
In process piping the pipe is half the product and the traceability package is the other half, so documentation labor gets built and billed weld by weld. ASME B31.3 requires every weld to carry a unique number traceable to the welder, the procedure, the heat treatment, and the examination results, and an inadequate weld map delays hydrotest sign-off and final acceptance along with the money behind them. We run the welder qualification matrix weekly, because a welder who hasn't used a qualified process for more than six months loses that qualification under Section IX and the lapse surfaces at audit as rework on welds already in the rack. We also split shop spools from field welds in the cost codes, since controlled-position shop welding and confined-access tie-ins are two different production economies inside one contract.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Dossier Half
The pipe is half the product; the legally binding traceability package is the other half, and hydrotest sign-off waits on it. Documentation labor billed and built weld-by-weld is the trade's collection strategy.
The Lapsed Ticket
Six months without a qualified process and the welder's qualification dies quietly, surfacing at audit as rework on finished welds. The qualification matrix is a financial control; run it weekly.
The Five Percent Trigger
Sampled examination means one failed weld expands into a welder's whole lot. Repair rates tracked by welder and process are the early-warning system, and reject economics belong in every alloy bid. (cfos-job-profitability-system) ---
