You're running real projects, keeping clients happy, and yet the bank balance never seems to match the stress. We help owner-operated, project-based businesses doing $3Mโ$8M close the gap between bid and bank so you can hit 15%+ net profit without riding constant feast-and-famine cycles.
Revenue comes in waves around projects, launches, retainers, or campaignsโand cash is never as steady as the top line suggests.
You're often fronting labor, vendors, or ad spend weeks before clients actually pay.
A few key projects or clients drive most of the year, so one delay or cancellation throws off everything.
You don't have a simple scoreboard that shows which offers, clients, or channels are truly profitable vs just "busy."
Invoices sit open longer than they should, and collections depend on who has time to chase.
You're making six-figure decisions on hires, offices, inventory, or marketing based on gut feel instead of a clear cash and profit forecast.
You've outgrown "bookkeeping plus tax prep," but don't need (or want) a full-time CFO.
13-week cash forecast and rolling view of your projects, retainers, and revenue streams so you can see how timing affects payroll, vendors, and owner draws before it's a problem.
Clear visibility into profit by offer, client, and acquisition channel so you can decide what to double down on, what to fix, and what to cut.
Know your true delivery cost and margin by project or package so pricing, discounts, and "favor" scope changes don't quietly erase profit.
Tighten how and when you invoice, add simple follow-up rules, and clean up aging receivables so cash hits the bank faster and less money dies in AR.
Understand how contractor, vendor, and platform payments (ads, software, agencies) line up with your collections so you're not financing everyone else's business.
Simple rules for how much cash to keep, how to use (or avoid) debt, and how much you can safely take out of the business without starving growth.
Quarterly estimates and year-end planning built around your real cash pattern, so April doesn't erase what you thought you made during your best months.
Not just better reports. Better cash.
Clean monthly close, reporting tailored to your model (projects, retainers, campaigns), and profitability you can trust by offer, client, and channel.
13-week cash forecast that reflects your actual revenue timing. Know what's available for payroll, contractors, vendors, marketing, and owner draws before you commit.
Offer- and client-level profitability, overhead allocation, and simple scorecards so 15%+ net is the standard, not luck.
Proactive tax planning integrated with your filings: quarterly estimates and year-end moves that actually show up on your return and match how cash really moves through your business.
Quick fit check: revenue, business model (projects, retainers, campaigns, or a mix), and whether your problems are ones I can actually solve. If not, I'll tell you and point you to better options.
One-time, fixed-fee deep dive into your books, projects, cash, and tax. We look at revenue timing, offer/client/channel profitability, invoicing and receivables, vendor and contractor timing, and tax posture. You get a clear, written 90-day action plan to close your biggest "bid vs bank" leaks.
If it's a mutual fit, we move into a simple monthly engagement focused on hitting agreed profit, cash, and owner take-home targetsโacross busy periods and the gaps between them.
If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you to a better option.
If your business runs on projects, retainers, or lumpy revenue and you're in the $3Mโ$8M range, let's see if this model fits. 20 minutes. No pitch.
All the risk is on us. This call is about making sure we can actually help.
