Optimize the CFO Functions of Your Construction Company

Managing the CFO functions of construction businesses can quickly become complex—especially when expanding into multiple trades. Managing job-level reporting, Work in Progress, and monthly financial statements often grows increasingly complicated with each new trade or project type added. We specialize in implementing efficient tracking by trade or division—a task frequently daunting for many. With our expert fractional CFO services, you can gain a clear understanding of soft cost usage, which is vital for accurate project estimating and strategic business planning for your construction operation.

At Notion CFO & Advisors, We Understand the Unique CFO Functions Construction Companies Face

Work-in-Progress Accounting

Regularly prepared WIP schedules are essential for construction companies to effectively track the profitability of a project and the estimated completion costs. Incorrect WIP reporting can falsify financial reports and impact bonding capacity. 

Retainage Accounting

Because many clients hold back a percentage payment until project completion, cash flow and reporting can become very convoluted. Accounting systems must track retainage separately.

Project-Based Accounting

Construction companies are continually juggling long-term contracts, job costing, change orders, and more for every project they’re involved with. Accurately tracking cost overruns, labor, materials, subcontractor costs, and more is critical—and time-consuming.

Equipment & Depreciation Accounting

Specialized depreciation schedules are required for heavy machinery and equipment. Your financial statements and tax liabilities can be affected by whether you choose to lease or buy equipment. Maintenance costs and repairs need to be properly allocated.
