Cleaner numbers before you ever open the file
A construction client with no real job costing gives you a mess every close: a P&L that doesn't match what he knows in his gut, WIP you have to reconstruct, questions about why a "profitable" year left no cash. CONTROL: The Construction Financial Operating System fixes the operational layer under your work, and it's a better year-end gift than a calendar.
His bad job costing is your extra hour
Every construction client without a real cost structure turns into the same conversation at close: numbers that don't reconcile against what he remembers, a WIP schedule assembled from memory instead of maintained monthly, a profitable-on-paper year that somehow left the bank account thin. None of that's a bookkeeping failure on your part. It's a missing layer underneath the books, and it isn't yours to build for him from outside the business. This book is that layer, given to him directly.
The full published case for the book, including who it isn't for, is on who it's for, and who it isn't.
8 steps, six templates, sixty days
What advisors ask before sending it
Why send a client a book instead of just fixing the job costing myself?
The fix has to live in how he runs jobs day to day, and that part isn't yours to install from the outside. You can build the cost structure. Whether it gets used depends on whether he understands what it's for, and this book does that education for you, in his language, not a debit-and-credit lecture.
Does this compete with what I do for a construction client?
No, it's the layer underneath it. Clean books and a filed return don't answer whether job 214 is making money, and that's what this closes. A client running his own job costing gives you cleaner numbers at every close, which is the part that actually saves you time.
Is it worth sending to a client whose books are already clean?
If his books are clean and he still can't tell you which jobs are profitable, yes, that's who this is for. Clean and useful aren't the same thing, and most construction clients have the first without the second.
What's actually in it?
8 steps and six working templates, covering job cost structure, equipment cost basis, overhead, estimating alignment, and a monthly cadence. Written by a master electrician who ran commercial jobs before he built the system, so the cost codes match how the crew already talks about the work.
Is this a good year-end gift for multiple clients?
It scales well as one: 9.99 for the ebook, 24.99 for the paperback, and it reads as you understanding their business rather than as a form letter, because it states the actual problem, not a thank-you for their business.
$9.99 ebook, $24.99 paperback
Paperback if you want it to stay on his desk rather than in a downloads folder he never opens. Six chapters include a QR code straight to a working file.
