WHO WE WORK WITH · CONSTRUCTION BOOKKEEPING AND CONTROLLER WORK
WAYFINDER CONSULTING, AND WHO DOES WHAT.
QUICK ANSWER
A Salt Lake City firm that keeps the books, handles AP, AR and the month-end close, and explains the numbers for construction companies across the US. On a shared client, Wayfinder Consulting handles the day-to-day books and SPM leads the CFO work. It fits a contractor whose books are months behind or wrong, or who has no bookkeeper and no set process for bills, invoices and the monthly close.

WHAT IT DOES
THE ACTUAL SERVICE.
Bookkeeping
Fractional controller (AP, AR, month-end close, monthly reports and what the numbers mean)
Fractional CFO (cash flow forecasting and tracking, interpreting the numbers)
Books clean-up and catch-up
AI implementation (find bottlenecks, put AI in place, train the team, measure against agreed KPIs)
Bookkeeping and finance for tech startups (MRR/ARR, burn and runway, investor updates, budgets, due diligence prep)
Who they serve. US businesses with 1 to 50 people and $300K to $10M in annual revenue. Their focus is construction: trade subcontractors, suppliers and builders, including firestopping, insulation, electrical, and tiny home and ADU builders. They also work with post-seed tech startups.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
WHO DOES WHAT.
Wayfinder handles the day-to-day books: bookkeeping, AP, AR, the month-end close and reconciliations, with clean books ready each month. SPM leads the CFO work: the financial system, job costing and cash flow planning. The client calls Wayfinder about bills, invoices and the monthly close, and calls SPM about strategy and planning.
“Working with SPM, the contractor gets a construction CFO and a bookkeeping team that already work together, so nothing falls between the two.”

Twenty minutes on your numbers. Sometimes the answer is a vendor and sometimes it's that the money is already in the business and nobody can see it. Josh will tell you which.
You don't hire a CFO because it's safe, you do it because the real risk isn't having one.
