GENERIC FIXES

This Is A Financial
Architecture
Correction

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, not generic bookkeeping.

income & cogs

Proper categorization so your gross margin actually means something.

job cost tracking

Structure to see profit by job, not just by month.

Labor burden

Calculation and allocation corrected so crew costs are real.

overhead allocation

Methodology aligned to how your business actually operates.

cash visibility

Classification framework so you can see where money actually sits.

reporting structure

Format and layout rebuilt to reflect your construction reality.

systems alignment

QBO and project management software talking the same language.

historical reporting

Distorted and misclassified records corrected at the source.

Structural consistency

Ongoing integrity so your structure holds going forward.

We build a structure that supports growth,
not confusion.

What Changes in These 90 Days

We are hands-on. We correct. We realign. We implement structure. We remove guesswork. This is where clarity starts becoming control.

01

how your reports look

Reports rebuilt to reflect construction reality. You'll finally see numbers that match the work you're doing in the field.

02

Job profitability tracking

Know what each job actually made, not just what your bank account shows. Job-level clarity changes how you bid and operate.

03

Labor cost measurements

True labor burden, including taxes, burden, and overhead, built into how your numbers are tracked and reported.

04

Overhead allocation

Overhead stops being a mystery and starts being a measurement. You'll know your actual cost per job to run the business.

05

Cash visibility

Your cash position becomes clear, categorized, and actionable. No more guessing if the money in the account is safe to spend.

06

where money is leaking

Structure reveals what chaos hides. Once aligned, the leaks in your financial system become visible, and closeable.

COMMUNICATION REQUIRED

We Are Not Operating
in the Background

✔️ 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

Structure before scale.
You cannot grow confidently
on a distorted foundation.

What Your Business Will Have

🚧

Clean, Aligned Structure

A financial foundation built specifically for a construction business, not adapted from a retail template or generic setup.

True cost of your crew calculated correctly and reflected in every job, every bid, every decision.

🎯

Confidence in Your Numbers

You will know what your numbers mean. You will trust what they show. That confidence changes how you lead.

The Restructure
Creates the Stability
Required
for Leadership.

Every contractor we work with has the same underlying problem: they are trying to lead a growing business from a financial structure that was never built to support it.

The 90-Day Restructure changes that. Not by cleaning up the surface, but by rebuilding the architecture underneath, so that when you lead, your numbers actually show you where you are.

Rebuilding Is

not the end.

it is the beginning.

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.

Start the
Restructure.

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.
