FRACTIONAL CFO FOR TANK / VESSEL CONTRACTORS.
We run the finance function for tank / vessel 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.
Tank and vessel work splits along its own standards, so we split the books the same way. API 650 governs new welded tank construction and runs project economics, while API 653 mandates in-service inspection intervals and creates a condition-triggered repair market that recurs, and one blended P&L misprices both. We bill documentation-complete and plan the hydrotest as a logistics event, because sourcing, holding, and disposing of a structure's volume of test water stands between substantial completion and the check. Then we price turnaround work as its own class, since repair and alteration inside an owner outage runs premium-time labor by design and a late unit release is the trap that eats the window.
THE THREE THINGS THAT DRAIN THE CASH.
The Two-Code Book
API 650 new-build runs project economics; API 653 inspection-repair runs condition-triggered recurring demand. One blended P&L misprices both, and the recurring side is the stability the project side borrows against.
The Hydro Gate
Qualifications, weld maps, NDE, and a structure full of test water stand between substantial completion and the check. Documentation-complete billing, with the hydro planned as a logistics event, is the trade's collection discipline.
The Window Premium
Turnaround work compresses into owner outages where premium shifts are the plan and late unit release is the trap. Price the window explicitly and document the standby; the outage clock bills somebody. (cfos-job-profitability-system) ---
