Fractional CFO for construction companies

Know where your cash is going and which jobs are making money.

I work directly with construction owners to improve cash forecasting, job performance, budgeting and major financial decisions, without the cost or bureaucracy of a full-time CFO.

How I help

Clear answers. Earlier warnings. Better decisions.

You do not need more reports. You need to know what the numbers mean and what to do next.

01

Protect your cash

See upcoming pressure early, improve collections and make borrowing decisions before cash gets tight.

02

Catch problem jobs

Review WIP, cost-to-complete and margin movement so weak assumptions do not become expensive surprises.

03

Plan with confidence

Connect backlog, overhead, hiring and growth decisions to a realistic financial plan.

A practical place to start

Start with a free cash review.

A 13-week view of cash, collections and job margins, built from your QuickBooks reports and reviewed by me personally. No charge, no obligation.

One accountable CFO

Big‑company finance. Small‑business attention.

I'm Mike Capuzzi. I've led finance inside specialty contractors, real-estate builders and a $1 billion construction manager. I personally learn your business, review the numbers with your team and help implement the changes.

Your work is not handed to a junior employee or rotating CFO. Technology handles repetitive production so my time stays focused on judgment, people and decisions.
