$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

This Might Be the Most Valuable Call You Make This Year.
