THE
CHAOS TO CLARITY
PROJECT
Build a solid understanding of cost-plus construction bookkeeping, implement the specific & efficient workflows into your daily operations, & produce accurately recorded financial data for your residential construction business - even if you don’t have an accounting background, haven’t decided on your tech stack yet, or don’t consider yourself as an industry expert.
Knowing your Bookkeeping process inside & out and equipping your team with this same knowledge is the most efficient way to stop guessing how profitable your business is
…but I’m willing to bet you already know that (because you’re here).
Whether you’re a seasoned custom home builder or have just recently started your journey as a residential construction business owner, you’ve already experienced the necessity of having and keeping your financial and project data organized and accurately recorded. Without immediate and continued attention, your bookkeeping becomes a massive wild mess that’s difficult to untangle.
Let’s face it- Untangling your bookkeeping mess & figuring out the right bookkeeping workflow is really hard!
Necessary? Yes! Rewarding? Absolutely! But, it is still so….hard!
Your days are beyond full dealing with subs, homeowners, schedules, and making the magic happen.
You know how to make the deals and acquire the contracts, but you’re system for recording and tracking their fulfillment is all over the place.
Your mind is maxed with the responsibilities of project management and the bandwidth of considering how to accurately record all of your job data is daunting.
You’re craving organization within your office!
You think your jobs are profitable…
You long for reports that are accurate & usable so you would know for sure.
You want to know how you’re doing with your jobs before the jobs are done so you can make adjustments to stay on budget if needed.
You know that if you had reports and knew how to analyze them, you would sleep better at night. You could hit the beach with your family without the nagging concerns for that one job in the back of your mind.
You love delivering an amazing product to your homeowners! Your mission includes complete customer satisfaction.
You have dreams of delivering impressive draw request packets to your homeowners that are concise, detailed, informative, and include the original bill for each line item on their invoice.
You wish you could present to them an accurate report showing them their estimate compared to the actual amounts that have been invoiced to date when you have your review meetings with them.
And, if you’re really honest with yourself (and your staff), you know that putting an accurate & efficient daily bookkeeping process in place is the only way you’re going to solve these problems. And more.
So, what’s the hold up? Why aren’t you analyzing & making decisions based on accurate reports?
-
You build custom homes and manage major remodels. You’re a skilled General Contractor or Subcontractor, not a skilled bookkeeper. You didn’t open a construction company to end up doing accounting.
-
We get it! You’re already more than busy! You need a system that’s quick to implement and makes sense with your fast-paced business
-
This one is HUGE! The pool of skilled construction bookkeepers is miniscule, like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
-
Whoever has been keeping the books up to this point didn’t really have a system and the books are a mess
-
You’ve been flying by the seat of your pants. I have dollars flying everywhere, men picking up material left and right, and you spend more time putting out fires than framing up walls. You need all the help.
You know you need to something to fix your bookkeeping issues, but you just don’t know what. Countless Google searches and Youtube videos later, you’re still sitting empty-handed and heavy-minded, spread as thin as a sheet of paper and no closer to solving these problems than you were when you started.
You consider hiring someone who knows how to do this. So, you search all the job boards, Indeed resumes, and post all over these job boards seeking a bookkeeper. After countless interviews, reviewing a few more thousand resumes, and hiring then firing numerous so-called bookkeepers, you begin thinking maybe no one knows how to do this! You think to yourself, how do other residential construction companies do this??
Then, sooner or later….
The Overwhelm of what seems like a daunting task tries to derail your goals…

So,
Let’s Debunk those Doubts Holding You Back.
Big Doubt #1
I don’t know how to do bookkeeping.
Most General Contractors and residential construction business owners actually don’t know the details of how their data gets recorded accurately.
And, truth be told, you don’t actually need to know. I know what you’re thinking…what?! But, hear me out.
You don’t need to know all the ins and outs of construction bookkeeping - but someone in your office does.
Even if the person hired/chosen to record the financial data is new, we’ve designed this course to teach them what they need to know!
Big Doubt #2
I don’t have time to figure out a system.
This was a HUGE motivating factor in the creation of this course and all of our materials.
You need a system. You don’t have time to figure out what that system is. So, we created the system for you!
This course is designed to assist you in establishing & implementing the processes you need for your bookkeeping system to operate successfully every day.
Big Doubt #3
I haven’t found someone who knows how to do cost-plus bookkeeping.
And this is the beauty of this course! Instead of scanning resumes looking for someone who knows cost plus or construction bookkeeping, you can refocus your search for someone with character qualities and skills that will assist in being a good employee instead!
Hiring someone who is pro-active, very detail-oriented, solution seeking, and thrives on process will become a valuable asset for your company when you put them through this course and send them on their merry way in your office.
Big Doubt #4
I need to catch-up or clean-up the mess I currently have before I can implement a new system.
First, let me tell you - you’re not alone! This is actually almost always the situation.
If you’re in this boat, you’ll have the option to initiate a Financial Inspection w/Clean-up or Catch-up before starting this course. This includes assessing the current state of the books and system being used, performing any clean up or catch up work that will need done to bring the books to a current, clean state, and preparing your books with the proper set-up/integrations so this course can be immediately implemented. You can read more about our Financial Inspection process here.
