MARGIN CALL.
One mechanism a month, from the numbers that decide whether a subcontractor makes money.
Each issue takes a single number or mechanism and works it through: where it comes from, what it does to cash, and what to change. Drawn from real subcontractor situations rather than from an accounting textbook. Published monthly on LinkedIn, free, with no separate email list and nothing to enter here.
Written for owners who read their own numbers. Not a digest of construction news, and not a monthly reminder that cash flow is important.
4 SUBJECTS, ONE AT A TIME.
Why a job that reads as profitable still leaves you tight, and which of the days between finishing work and collecting for it you control.
The cost code structure that tells you which jobs make money while they're still running rather than at closeout.
What a real WIP schedule catches that a bookkeeper's doesn't, and what your surety reads first.
Where your overhead rate really sits against your trade, and what the distance between that and your bid rate costs.
