FRACTIONAL CFO FOR SCAFFOLDING CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for scaffolding 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.
Scaffolding sells three things in one quote, so we quote and cost-code all three separately. Erection and dismantle labor is front and back loaded, the rental stream earns by the week while the scaffold stands, and engineering is its own product where complexity requires it, and a blended price can't show which one leaked when the dismantle date slid. We build a fleet utilization report and component tracking next, because the fleet is the capital and components standing in the yard burn holding cost at rental-market rates around 1.5 percent of value a month. Then we paper the rental meter, meaning handover, every extension, and off-hire in writing, since at commercial rates above $5,000 a month an undocumented month is a real check nobody cashed.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Blended Quote
E&D labor, rental weeks, and engineering are three revenue streams with three cost behaviors, and a blended price can't show which one leaked when the dismantle date slid. Quote and cost-code all three.
The Idle Yard
The fleet is the capital, utilization is the P&L, and components standing in the yard burn holding cost at rental-market rates of roughly 1.5 percent of value monthly. Component tracking and a fleet utilization report are the trade's core statements.
The Unread Meter
Standing scaffold earns by the week only if handover, extension, and off-hire dates are papered. At commercial rates of $5,000-plus a month, an undocumented month is a real check nobody cashed. (cfos-cash-flow-cycle-system) ---

The onboarding fee covers migrating your books back to the start of your last taxable year and getting you fully operational in 60 days. It's billed once, with your first invoice. It's the same for all three tiers. Your first month is prorated, and your monthly engagement starts on the first of the first full month.
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. The onboarding fee is right here in the table.
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 and never in a report.
Your bookkeeper still does the books.
You stop touching the books.
Everything in Core, and we run the bookkeeping and the controllership as well. Your office stops answering coding questions and stops chasing a reconciliation on the last day of the month.
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 books, the job costing, and the software. No payroll.
