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: C.F.O.S. Construction Financial Operating System fixes what's missing 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 real job costing brings you the same close. The numbers don't reconcile with what he remembers. The WIP schedule is built from memory each time. The year looked profitable, and the bank account is thin. Your bookkeeping didn't cause that. What's missing is underneath the books, and you can't build it for him from outside the business. This book gives it 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 manages 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 teaches him that for you, in his language.
Does this compete with what I do for a construction client?
No. It covers the work underneath yours. Clean books and a filed return don't tell him whether job 214 is making money. This does. A client doing his own job costing gives you cleaner numbers at every close, and that 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 managed 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 shows you understand their business, because it speaks to the problem they have.
