Accounting Services for Contractors Using FOUNDATION® Software
Construction accounting expertise that helps you get more from FOUNDATION
FOUNDATION is a powerful construction accounting platform—but software alone does not guarantee accurate job costs, reliable work-in-progress reporting, or better financial decisions.
Notion CFO & Advisors helps construction companies organize, manage, and understand their accounting information within FOUNDATION. We combine construction accounting knowledge with practical financial guidance so contractors can improve reporting, protect cash flow, and see which projects are truly driving profitability.

An Accounting Partner Who Understands Construction
Construction accounting is different from accounting for most other businesses. Revenue, labor, materials, subcontractors, retainage, change orders, equipment, and overhead must be tracked correctly across individual projects.
When the accounting setup or monthly processes are inconsistent, even a sophisticated platform such as FOUNDATION can produce reports that are difficult to trust.
Our team helps contractors build financial processes around the way their company actually operates. We focus on making the information in FOUNDATION accurate, timely, and useful for both day-to-day management and long-term planning.

FOUNDATION Accounting Support for Construction Companies
FOUNDATION brings job costing, payroll, invoicing, vendor payments, and financial reporting into one construction-focused accounting system. Our role is to help ensure those functions support accurate accounting and better business decisions.
Job Costing and Project Profitability
A project can appear profitable in the field while producing a very different result in the financial statements.
We help construction companies evaluate how labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, and overhead are assigned to jobs. We also help management interpret job-cost reports, identify unusual variances, and recognize projects that may be falling behind budget.
Work-in-Progress Reporting
Reliable WIP reporting is essential for understanding project performance and producing meaningful financial statements.
Our team can help prepare and review WIP schedules, evaluate estimated costs to complete, calculate earned revenue, identify overbillings and underbillings, and reconcile project information to the general ledger.
Construction Payroll Accounting
Construction payroll may involve multiple jobs, labor classifications, pay rates, jurisdictions, unions, certified payroll requirements, and prevailing-wage rules.
We help contractors establish accounting processes that accurately allocate payroll costs and related burdens to the appropriate projects and cost codes.
Month-End Close and Financial Reporting
Management should not have to wait months to understand the financial condition of the company.
We can manage or strengthen your monthly close process, reconcile balance-sheet accounts, review job-cost activity, prepare financial statements, and create management reporting that highlights the information your leadership team needs.
Cash-Flow Forecasting
A profitable contractor can still experience cash shortages because of billing schedules, retainage, payroll timing, slow collections, and material purchases.
We develop cash-flow forecasts that help management anticipate upcoming needs, plan major expenditures, and make more informed decisions about hiring, equipment, and project commitments.
Controller and Fractional CFO Services
As your company grows, basic bookkeeping may no longer provide enough financial oversight.
Notion CFO & Advisors can serve as an outsourced controller or fractional CFO, helping your leadership team establish stronger controls, monitor key performance indicators, evaluate project and company profitability, and plan for sustainable growth.

We work especially well with owners and leadership teams that want more reliable numbers, stronger internal processes, and proactive financial guidance.
