CFO ADVISORY FOR AUSTRALIAN CONSTRUCTION
Know exactly where every project stands. Every month.
Too many builders only discover a project has lost money after it's finished. We give you the numbers to see it coming - monthly project reporting, cash-flow forecasting, WIP analysis and margin control, reviewed and challenged by a CFO who specialises exclusively in construction businesses.
Margin %
Gross margin by project, so you see slippage early.
The 5 numbers we check every month
Simple, construction-specific numbers that tell you if every job is on track.
Work in progress
Real WIP, not guesswork, so revenue matches delivery.
Debtor days
How long clients take to pay, and who to chase.
Project ROI
Return on each project, not just total profit.
Cash cover
How many weeks of overheads your cash can cover.
Construction isn't like other businesses. Your CFO shouldn't be either.
Your CFO Partner is a Melbourne-based fractional CFO and construction accounting firm, founded in 2017 by Victor Zhou. We work exclusively with Australian builders, contractors and property developers turning over $2M–$50M.

Stage your cash so suppliers, wages and tax are covered without panic.
Grow on your terms
Say yes to the right projects, with numbers to back every decision.

Frequently asked questions
We already have a bookkeeper — do we still need a fractional CFO?
Yes. Your bookkeeper records what has already happened. A fractional CFO helps you plan what happens next — cash flow, pricing, margins and strategy — and translates the numbers into clear decisions for your construction business. We work alongside your existing bookkeeper, not instead of them.
How much does a fractional CFO cost for a construction business in Australia?
It depends on the size and complexity of your business, but most of our clients invest a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO. After your free strategy session and health check, we’ll outline a fixed monthly fee so you know exactly what you’re paying and what you’re getting.
Do we have to leave our accountant to work with Your CFO Partner?
No. We regularly partner with existing accountants and tax agents. Our role is to sit between your day-to-day bookkeeping and year-end tax, giving you the monthly financial leadership and construction-specific insight most accountants don’t provide.
How do we get started with a fractional CFO?
Start with a free strategy session. We’ll talk through your current projects, numbers and goals, and if we’re a good fit we’ll move into a structured financial health check and a clear proposal for ongoing support.
