Dear Commercial Contractor,
Would you agree with me when I say that business has gotten more challenging for commercial construction companies like you over the past few years?
I'm sure you've felt the pressure…
On top of unpredictable market conditions, you have to deal with unexpected delays that can throw your budget completely off track and ever-increasing material costs that make it hard to know if you’ll make a profit on your jobs.
The result is that accurately bidding on jobs so you can win contracts and STILL make a decent profit is harder than it’s ever been before.
As someone who grew up in my parents’ water well drilling company here in western North Carolina, I understand the unique challenges you face while running your business…
And when I became a CPA and started working at the CFO level in much larger construction companies than the one my parents have owned and operated for 43 years…
I began to realize just how underserved commercial builders like you and my parents are.
As a CPA myself, I can tell you that most CPAs and accountants are generalists who serve a wide range of clients in all kinds of different industries...
And that means they don’t have the time to develop the skills and expertise needed to understand the unique challenges you face as the owner of a commercial construction company.
As a CPA and outsourced CFO who focuses exclusively on serving the commercial construction industry, I know that owning and operating a construction business is very different from running any other kind of business…
In fact, I've discovered that there are 7 financial strategies that the top 1% of commercial construction companies utilize.
The problem I run into all the time is that most commercial builders don't have any idea that they’re missing out on one (or more) of these key strategies…
And that's why I decided to write my latest book…
