QuickBooks & Buildertrend
Accounting For Builders & Contractors
Part-Time CFOs For Construction Companies
Your On-Demand CFO for Contractors
-
At Ascent CFO Solutions, we help builders and contractors get QuickBooks and Buildertrend working together instead of fighting each other. We step in as your fractional or interim CFO to build the numbers your bank, bonding company, and ownership team can rely on: accurate job costing, WIP schedules, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition. We put a seasoned CFO and accounting team in the seat in days, not months, with minimal disruption to your crews or your office.
Job Costing & WIP Accuracy
Buildertrend tracks what’s happening on the job site. QuickBooks tracks the money. When they don’t sync, you end up with WIP schedules that lie and job profitability you can’t trust until the project’s already closed out. We reconcile the two systems so every job’s cost-to-complete, revenue recognized, and true margin are accurate in real time.
Draw & Cash Flow Management
Over-billing feels like cash in the bank until the work catches up to the invoice. Under-billing quietly drains your cash on jobs that look profitable on paper. We build draw schedules tied to actual job progress and cash flow forecasts that flag which jobs are floating your business and which ones are sinking it – before it shows up as a crisis.
“Ascent CFO Solutions was a great partner for Halp from our early days in Techstars all the way through our acquisition. Their team set up our accounting processes from scratch and built financial models for our Seed Round. They were also valuable teammates when it came to preparing for due diligence for Halp’s acquisition by Atlassian. I highly recommend Ascent CFO for any SaaS company experiencing fast growth.”
“We are impressed with Ascent CFO Solutions’ high quality services and their ability to balance the cost with the requirements of our business. The Ascent CFO team members we’ve worked with are fantastic. They’re responsive and learned our business quickly. I’m confident that the level of talent and experience on the Ascent CFO Solutions team makes them a great fit for many different types of companies. They are certainly the right fit for mine.”
“I am more confident than ever in the reliability of our financial operations and the quality of our financial strategy thanks to the Ascent CFO Solutions team. They deliver accurate financial reporting and data-driven financial projection models that give us an actionable, forward-looking view of the company. Now, I have the visibility I need to intelligently grow the business.”
“I continue to be so impressed with how quickly the Ascent CFO team has gotten up to speed on our business. Their expertise and ideas are helping us improve our reporting for better decision making as well as build out a plan to hit specific targets to grow the business. They can meet in real time to solve problems and address strategy as much as any other senior members of my team and they go above and beyond to ensure the steps to our goals are actionable. I am grateful to have Ascent CFO as a guiding force on our team.”
“As soon as the Ascent team began the acquisition process, I knew we were in good hands. Dan and his team guided us through the entire acquisition process from start to finish — from building the pitch deck to arranging meetings, to acting as a point person between us and potential buyers. They were a true partner to our business.”
“After raising our Series A round of funding, we were referred to Ascent CFO Solutions by our banking partners. It was time to take our financial reporting and strategy to the next level. We needed to be sure we had a sound grasp on our capital structure and that we were running under accrual basis accounting. Ascent not only ensured our books were air tight, they showed us where we could increase efficiency by automating certain processes. I definitely sleep better at night knowing we have a detailed insight of our financial positions at all times. Whether it’s a last minute request before a board meeting, a late night strategy call, or our weekly meetings, Dan and his team are always there for Backbone. They are more than a fractional CFO, they really understand our business through and through. ”
