DAYS TO REBUILD
Structural Areas Corrected
cLEAR METHOD
GENERIC FIXES
The 90-Day Restructure is not a generic service. It is built directly from your Inspection findings. Every contractor's financial structure breaks differently, and we fix it specifically.
This is not transaction cleanup. This is not bookkeeping. This is the deliberate, intentional rebuilding of the financial structure your business actually operates on.
We do NOT patch problems.
We do NOT apply temporary fixes.
We rebuild with intention.
Based on what we uncovered, we restructure:
Chart of Accounts
Restructured for construction clarity
income & cogs
Proper categorization
job cost tracking
Profit by job, not just by month
Labor burden
Calculation and allocation corrected
overhead allocation
Aligned to how your business actually operates
cash visibility
Classification framework
reporting structure
Rebuilt to reflect your construction reality
systems alignment
QBO software talking the same language
historical reporting
Misclassified records corrected
Structural consistency
Integrity holds going forward

We build a structure that supports growth,
not confusion.
Hands-on. We correct. We realign. Implement structure. Remove guesswork.
Reports rebuilt to reflect construction reality. Numbers that match the work you're doing in the field.
Know what each job actually made, not just what your bank account shows.
True labor burden built into how your numbers are tracked and reported.
Overhead stops being a mystery and starts being a measurement.
Your cash position becomes clear, categorized, and actionable.
Structure reveals what chaos hides. Once aligned, the leaks become visible, and closeable.
✔️ Communication and collaboration are required during this phase
✔️ You will begin seeing clearer numbers as the rebuild progresses
✔️ You will understand where money is leaking in your operation
✔️ You will begin operating from structure instead of assumption
✔️ You will leave the 90 days with a financial foundation you can trust.

The 90-Day Restructure delivers a specific, concrete result. Not a clean inbox. Not a fresh start. A properly built financial structure your business can actually stand on.
A financial foundation built for construction not adapted from a retail template
Clear insight into what each job produces, revenue, cost, and actual margin
True cost of your crew calculated correctly and reflected in every job, every bid
Reports you can actually read, understand, and trust formatted for how contractors think.
Your systems, QuickBooks, project management, reporting, aligned and speaking the same financial language.
You will know what your numbers mean. That confidence changes how you lead.
Once the restructure is complete, we move into Financial Leadership. The structure does not maintain itself , it requires protection, monitoring, and guidance. That is what comes next.
This is how the Hard Hats Method continues. Three phases. One clear order. No shortcuts.

The 90-Day Restructure begins immediately after your Financial Inspection results are delivered and reviewed. There is no generic program. There is no skipping structure. There is only the work.
