25% markup is not 25% margin.

Illustration: a job costs $80,000. Add 25% of cost, and the price is $100,000. The $20,000 difference is 20% of the selling price.

To produce a 25% margin on that same $80,000 cost, the price would be $106,666.67, before considering whether your cost estimate includes everything it should.

Neither figure is a recommended price or target. The point is to know which calculation your bids use.

Finding out a job lost money after it's finished leaves very little room to respond.

For active jobs, review costs to date and the expected cost of the remaining work. Compare the updated total with the estimate and approved contract value.

A change in the expected margin is a reason to investigate: labor hours, material purchases, scope changes, or coding errors.

I build reporting that helps owners have that conversation earlier.

A profitable month doesn't guarantee enough cash for Friday's payroll.

Customer invoices, retainage, and the timing of collections can leave cash tied up while wages and supplier bills are due.

A cash forecast starts with what you expect to collect and what you need to pay, by week. Update it when payment dates change.

I help contractor owners see the timing before it becomes a scramble.

The hourly wage is only the start of your labor cost.

Employer payroll taxes, workers' compensation, benefits, and paid time that isn't productive job time can all affect what labor really costs.

If your estimates use wages alone, compare that assumption with your actual costs before the next bid. Build the calculation consistently so you don't count the same expense twice.

I help contractors connect payroll and job reporting so owners can see the full picture.

What does a fractional controller actually do?

For a growing contractor, I focus on turning the books into answers: which jobs are earning money, what cash is needed next, and which numbers need attention before the next month closes.

The work can include a reliable monthly close, job reporting, cash planning, and a financial review with the owner.

Your bookkeeper records the activity. A controller helps establish the checks and reporting that make it useful.

Clean books should help you make a decision.

Can you trust the bank balance? Is the credit card liability right? Are old receivables still collectible?

QuickBooks cleanup means investigating those balances, documenting corrections, and getting reports into a condition you can use.

I help growing construction companies get there, then build a process to keep the numbers useful.

Your busiest job might be your least profitable.

The crew is there every day. Materials keep arriving. The invoices look good.

But what is the job actually earning?

A company-wide P&L can hide a losing job behind a profitable one. I want owners to see the estimated cost, the actual cost, and what it will take to finish while there's still time to act.

That's the work I focus on at LNH CPA PLLC: cleaning up the books and building reporting that helps you run the business.

Someone recently compared what I do to a Swiss Army knife, and I have to admit, it's a pretty accurate description. 😂

One day I'm untangling years of messy books. The next I'm working through tax issues, analyzing profitability, building financial reports, or helping a business owner figure out their next move.

That's what I love about what I do. No two days are the same, and no two businesses have the same challenges.

I've never been interested in just handing someone a set of financial statements and calling it a day. I want to understand the business, figure out what's working, what's not, and help make it better.

Different challenges. Different tools. One very happy nerd. 🤓
