Financial Services for Contractors

Part-time CFO, controller and bookkeeping support for construction and home service companies, led by a former construction company CFO.

Our Approach

One Team for Your Books, Reports and Planning

CFO Strategies is a team of CPAs and senior financial professionals led by Alan G. Lefkowitz, CPA, a former construction company CFO. We give contractors the help a full-time CFO and controller would, on a part-time basis.
Most clients work with us every month. We also take on one-time projects, like cleaning up the books or rebuilding a WIP schedule, priced by the project.
We don’t prepare income tax returns or run audits. We work alongside your tax accountant and other advisors and focus on your financials.

Our Services

Fractional CFO

Cash flow forecasting, budgets, bank and surety relationships, and planning. We can also step in full time as an interim CFO.

Outsourced Controller

Monthly close, WIP schedule, job cost reports and internal controls, done on time every month.

Virtual Accounting and Bookkeeping

Books kept current with job costing set up right, handled remotely by our team in the software you already use.

WIP Schedules and Job Costing

Profit and loss by job, over and under billings, backlog and change orders, so you know how each job is doing before it ends.

Financial Reporting

A monthly package: your statements, WIP, job profit and loss, backlog and KPIs.

Cash Management and Forecasting

A 13-week cash flow forecast that plans around draws, retainage and payroll.

Banking Relationships

The statements your bank and surety expect, and help getting lines of credit and bonding capacity.

Internal Controls

Controls for job-site purchasing, accounts payable and change order approvals.

Strategic Planning

Growth planning, overhead and budgets, and getting ready for an acquisition or sale.
