Who We Serve in Texas

18 Trades. Every Major Market.

Texas has one of the largest commercial construction markets in the country — civil and infrastructure work tied to TxDOT and municipal programs, electrical and mechanical for the commercial new construction boom across Dallas, Houston, and Austin corridors, and a deep concrete and sitework base supporting industrial and institutional growth statewide. SPM serves subcontractors doing this work.
01

The Cash Flow Problem

Texas contractors face pay-when-paid pressure across all trades. On large infrastructure jobs, payment cycles can run 60–90 days from billing. Without a 13-week cash flow forecast and aggressive AR management, the gap between costs going out and cash coming in creates recurring crises.

02

The Job Cost Problem

Most Texas subcontractors in the $2M–$8M range don't have job costing aligned to their estimates. Overhead gets lumped, equipment gets underallocated, and T&M work goes underbilled. The P&L looks fine. The bank account tells a different story.

03

The Bookkeeper Gap

Contractors at this revenue level typically have a bookkeeper recording transactions and a CPA filing taxes. Nobody's doing job costing, WIP reporting, or monthly financial oversight. That gap is exactly what SPM fills — without scope gaps or handoff problems.

What SPM Does

Everything Done For You.

SPM is not a bookkeeper and not a traditional CPA firm. We handle the full financial operation so you can run the business in about 5 hours a month — not 40.

18 commercial trades: civil, concrete, electrical (commercial new construction only), SWPPP/erosion, underground utility, sitework, grading, masonry, framing, drywall, insulation, excavation, demolition, paving, structural steel, waterproofing, EIFS/stucco, and fire protection.

60 days. We migrate your books to the start of your last taxable year, set up ControlQore, and build your job costing structure from scratch. Fully operational in two months.

A bookkeeper records what happened. We tell you what it means and what to do about it. Job costing aligned to estimates, WIP tracked monthly, accountability meetings that fix problems — not just document them.
