Commercial Contractors
Owners and developers, through bid work. You are bonded or trying to be, and a surety decides how much you can carry at once.
Learn MoreBuild commercial and the constraint is bonding capacity, retainage and pay applications. Build residential and it is the tax bill nobody warned you about. Two practices, construction only.
A construction CFO looks at your process and your numbers and tells you where the constraint actually is.
30 minutes • No cost • Nothing to buy
The answer decides what your books have to do. The first two are commercial construction and run the same reporting. The third is a different practice with a different problem.

A general contractor, on commercial jobs. Retainage, pay applications, change orders and prequalification arrive all at once, and that is where the margin goes.

Homeowners and property owners, direct. Service work, replacements and remodels, maybe some light commercial. Nobody holds retainage and nobody prequalifies you. What costs you is the tax bill.
Learn MoreCommercial: mechanical, electrical, concrete, steel, glazing, fire protection. Residential and light commercial: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, remodeling. Not sure which of the first two you are? Answer six questions from memory and you will know. No email, nothing collected, about a minute.
They call because something already went wrong, and it turned out to be a reporting problem wearing a different hat. These are the three we hear most.
A surety sets your capacity off your work-in-progress schedule, your working capital and your equity. When that schedule gets rebuilt once a year from memory, the ceiling arrives earlier than your business earned, and you bid inside it without being told why.
A G702 that does not tie to the schedule of values gets rejected, and the next billing window is a month out. You financed that month yourself, and almost none of it was a dispute about the work.
Retainage is held and draws land on someone else's schedule, but you bought the material and made payroll every Friday. You financed the job. A forecast built on last year's pattern does not see the squeeze coming.
Bookkeeping, proactive tax, and a fractional CFO under one team and one monthly invoice. No more juggling logins and praying the numbers add up.
Your books closed in 5 business days, every month. Statements a surety and a lender can read, and zero reconciliation on your end.

"Today CFO found $127K in tax savings my previous CPA missed. They've done more for my business than any firm I've worked with in 20 years."
"Our books were a disaster. Today CFO got us fully compliant, streamlined everything, and made major business decisions so much easier. Highly recommend."
Every testimonial is from a real Today CFO client.
Here about someone else's books?
A surety agent underwriting a schedule he has to take on faith, or a general contractor with a sub whose paperwork keeps failing his prequal, is having a different conversation from the one above. There are pages written for those rather than for the contractor buying the engagement.
