$18M Specialty Contractor: WIP Reporting Fix
Jul 7, 2023
Hero Summary:
Work looked profitable until year-end reconciliations revealed losses. Growth CFO fixed WIP reporting and recovered $600K.
Challenge:
Leadership felt blindsided at year-end. Jobs that appeared profitable actually lost money once reconciled.
Solution:
We built a weekly WIP dashboard, added variance reporting, and trained PMs to forecast margins.
Outcome:
$600K in lost margin recovered
Forecasting became proactive, not reactive
Investors regained confidence
Client Quote:
“Now we catch problems mid-project—not six months too late.” — COO
