Where does the return on investment come from when a construction business works with a fractional CFO?
Margin recovery - $150k-$300k a year
A $10M builder without regular project-margin tracking typically leaks this through cost overruns nobody catches until final accounts. Usually the biggest lever, and the first thing we test against your live jobs.
Variations - $80k-$200k unclaimed
Weak variation capture commonly leaves this on the table. We look at how many claimable variations died in someone's inbox last year.
Cash flow - roughly $26k a year
Collecting even 10 days faster on $10M frees this much in working-capital cost, before counting the nights you stop worrying about payroll.
Tax structure - tens of thousands a year
Construction businesses that have never had industry-specific structuring typically overpay by this much.
Your time - $25k-$35k of owner time
If you spend 8 hours a week on financial admin, this is what a CFO hands back.
Why the estimate is deliberately conservative
Every range uses the low end of what we see in practice. It is a directional planning figure, not a quote or financial advice - but most clients identify their single biggest lever inside the first 90 days.
Your estimate is only worth something if you act on it.
In a free 30-minute strategy session, we test your estimate against your actual job data, show you the two or three levers with the most money behind them, and give you a straight answer - including we can't help, if that's the truth.
