How Our Pricing Works
We price based on value and responsibility, not hours.
- Your business model
- Your goals
- The level of financial leadership you want
A self-employed handyman starting out and a 50-person union contractor with public works should not have the same fee or the same scope. Our pricing reflects your unique reality and goals.
Different Levels of Complexity
Lower-Complexity Contractors
- Clean, reliable systems
- Clear reporting
- Occasional financial guidance
These engagements focus on getting the basics right and keeping you in control.
Higher-Complexity Contractors
- Union and prevailing wage requirements
- Multiple leaders, entities and departments
- Public works and private work
- Growth ambitions
These engagements require deeper discovery and ongoing financial leadership. We act as your embedded financial department, and pricing reflects that level of impact and responsibility.
Our Two-Contract Framework
1. Deep Dive Project (Preconstruction)
- Study how your business actually runs today
- Map your current systems, reports, and workflows
- Align on a clear path forward you believe in
This is an initial project focused on understanding and planning.
2. Transformation + Ongoing Leadership (Construction & Maintenance)
- Lead the financial transformation we designed together
- Build and improve systems that match real work in the field and office
- Provide ongoing weekly or monthly leadership and reporting
You choose whether to move into this second contract and at what level.
A Simple, Efficient Scoping Process
We keep scoping tight and respectful of your time:
- 15 minute qualifying call: Light intros, confirm fit, answer basic questions, and schedule a proposal meeting.
- 1-2 hours with our dynamic questionnaire: You complete a focused, construction-specific questionnaire. The questions are designed to give both of us clarity.
- 1-hour proposal meeting: We present our recommended approach and refine it live with your feedback.
- Sign the initial contract: You review and sign the Deep Dive Project agreement.
- Schedule discovery sessions: We set dates and confirm key personnel for in-person or remote discovery.
- Assessment + ongoing options: We present our findings and 1–2 fixed-fee options for ongoing support. You decide what level of relationship makes sense.
Relationships, Not Transactions
This model works best when both sides value a long-term relationship, not a transactional hourly setup.
- No rigid, one-sided lock-ins
- You can leave with your systems and data
- In practice, most clients choose to stay.
If you’re shopping for the lowest hourly rate, we’re not the right fit. If you want a financial partner who understands construction and will lead alongside you, we might be.
