Construction Financial
Dashboard.
Most construction subcontractors look at their bank balance and their P&L and call it financial management. A real financial dashboard gives you 8–10 numbers that tell the complete story of your business's health — cash position, job margins, AR aging, overhead rate, working capital, and bonding capacity — updated monthly so you're always current, never surprised.

What We See in This Business
01
You're Managing by Bank Balance
Your bank balance tells you what cash is in the account right now. It doesn't tell you whether that cash is adequate for your obligations in the next 30 days, whether AR that should have arrived hasn't, or whether the balance is about to drop because three payrolls hit next week. A financial dashboard replaces the bank balance as your primary management instrument.
02
You Don't Know Which Jobs Are Profitable Right Now
Without job-level financial visibility updated monthly, you know which jobs are running and roughly how they're going — but you don't know which ones are tracking above margin, which are tracking below, and which are consuming working capital disproportionate to their revenue. The dashboard brings job-level data to the surface where it belongs.
03
Financial Surprises Are Too Common
If you're regularly surprised by cash shortfalls, overhead spikes, slow-paying GCs, or job losses at closeout, your financial management system isn't working. Surprises are a symptom of inadequate visibility — not bad luck. The right dashboard eliminates surprises by making the warning signs visible before the surprise.
How SPM Fixes It
The 10 Numbers That Should Be on Your Dashboard
Cash position and 30-day cash forecast. Active job count and aggregate contract value. Job margin vs. estimate by project — which jobs are on track and which are off. AR aging summary — current, 31–60, 61–90, 90+. Overhead rate — actual vs. benchmark for your trade. Working capital — dollar amount and trend. Current ratio — actual vs. 1.5 target. Retainage outstanding by project. Bonding capacity remaining. Net margin YTD vs. prior year.
The SPM CEO Report
Executive clients receive the SPM CEO Report monthly — a single-page financial dashboard built from ControlQore data showing all 10 metrics, trends over the trailing 13 months, and a brief narrative on anything requiring attention. The report is designed to be reviewed in 15 minutes. You come to the monthly CFO meeting having already seen the numbers — the meeting is for decisions, not data review.
Dashboard as a Management Tool — Not a Report
The difference between a financial report and a financial dashboard is what you do with it. A report tells you what happened. A dashboard tells you what to do next. SPM builds the CEO Report to drive specific actions — escalate this AR, flag this job margin, check this overhead category, protect this working capital before the next distribution decision. 5 hours a month on financials, not 50.

Common Questions
Straight answers.
Is the CEO Report included in both service tiers?
The CEO Report with the full 10-metric dashboard, 13-month trend charts, and monthly narrative is an Executive Financial deliverable. Core Financial clients receive monthly financial statements — P&L, balance sheet, and AR aging — which cover the fundamental financial picture. The CEO Report adds the strategic layer: job-level margin tracking, bonding capacity, cash flow forecast integration, and the management narrative that connects the numbers to decisions.
How long does reviewing the CEO Report take?
15 minutes for the report review itself. The monthly CFO meeting that follows — where Josh walks through the metrics, flags anything requiring action, and covers strategic items — runs 30–60 minutes depending on what's on the agenda. Total monthly financial management time for Executive clients: typically under 2 hours including the meeting. That's what 5 hours a month looks like in practice.
What's included in Core Financial?
ControlQore setup, job costing aligned to your estimates, cost-to-complete tracking, full bookkeeping (minimum 30 min/week), ACH vendor payments (you approve, we initiate), AR management, bank reconciliations, transaction matching, controllership, and 1 monthly CFO meeting. Starts at $1,900/month.
What does Executive Financial add?
Everything in Core plus monthly WIP schedule, 13-week cash flow forecasting, CEO Report, and 3 CFO advisory meetings per month. Starts at $2,900/month. WIP, cash flow forecasting, and the CEO Report are Executive tier only.
Do you handle payroll?
No. We have vetted payroll software partners — including prevailing wage integrations — that connect directly with ControlQore. Those are separate engagements at additional cost.
How long does onboarding take?
60 days. We migrate your books to the start of your last taxable year, set up ControlQore, and build your job costing structure. Fully operational in two months.
What software do clients use?
ControlQore. All SPM clients run on ControlQore for job costing and WIP. We set it up and manage it — you don't have to learn it. Clients switching from QuickBooks, Sage, or other platforms migrate during onboarding.
Do you work alongside our CPA?
Yes. We work alongside your existing CPA — not replacing them. Clean books and accurate job costing make their job easier at tax time.
What happens when we grow past $12M?
We have a clear graduation path. We prepare your financials, systems, and team for the transition and connect you with the right firm for your next stage of growth.
