A California client was a year behind in Foundation Software with no budget or job costing. We cleaned up 10 months of bookkeeping, fixed their chart of accounts, and made everything CPA-ready. We guided them through reports, handled reconciliations, held monthly CFO meetings, and took over accounts payable. With clear financials, they now bid smarter and make confident, data-driven decisions.
A Bay Area carpentry client lost track of certified payroll submissions across 60 jobs. Payments were held, and penalties threatened. DAS forms weren’t submitted to the training fund. We stepped in, built a tracking system, and ensured full compliance with DIR and LCP. Payments resumed on time, protecting their cash flow and keeping the business running smoothly.
A Fresno contractor struggled with unclear job costing. Without reliable numbers, they couldn’t tell if projects were making money or staying on schedule. We set up straightforward job costing and monthly WIP reports that show exactly where every dollar and hour goes. Now, they get clear, up-to-date info to make smart decisions that keep projects on budget and on time.
