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, 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.
We are hands-on. We correct. We realign. We implement structure. We remove guesswork. This is where clarity starts becoming control.
Reports rebuilt to reflect construction reality. You'll finally see numbers that match the work you're doing in the field.
Know what each job actually made, not just what your bank account shows. Job-level clarity changes how you bid and operate.
True labor burden, including taxes, burden, and overhead, built into how your numbers are tracked and reported.
Overhead stops being a mystery and starts being a measurement. You'll know your actual cost per job to run the business.
Your cash position becomes clear, categorized, and actionable. No more guessing if the money in the account is safe to spend.
Structure reveals what chaos hides. Once aligned, the leaks in your financial system 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

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 specifically for a construction business, not adapted from a retail template or generic setup.
Clear insight into what each job produces, revenue, cost, and actual margin. No more month-end surprises.
True cost of your crew calculated correctly and reflected in every job, every bid, every decision.
Reports you can actually read, understand, and trust formatted for how contractors think and operate.
Your systems, QuickBooks, project management, reporting, aligned and speaking the same financial language.
You will know what your numbers mean. You will trust what they show. 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.
