Don’t see your trade? If you run project or field work and you’re doing $500K–$20M, let’s talk.
Where Are You Right Now?
Every stage of growth breaks something different. CFO & COO help pays off at all of them.
-
$500K–$2M
You’re doing everything.
You estimate, run jobs and do the books at night. CFO & COO help now gives you clean numbers and simple systems before bad habits get expensive.
-
$2M–$8M
Growth gets messy.
More crews, more jobs, more software, and cash gets tight even in good months. CFO-level job costing, cash forecasting and processes keep growth from turning into chaos.
-
$8M–$20M
You need a leadership team.
You’ve outgrown your bookkeeper, and your bank and managers want better numbers. A fractional CFO & COO gives you full-time-level planning without the full-time salary.
Wherever you are, the work is built around your business, not your revenue bracket.
I'VE LIVED IT
11 Years as CFO of a Growing Contractor
Before Versatile Solutions, I was CFO of a multi-state, multi-entity heavy industrial contractor. Here’s some of what that looked like.
$1M → $30M
Revenue growth, with financial reporting and cash flow kept stable as the company added entities and states.
Weekly Billing
Moved invoicing on a $30M, two-year time-and-materials project to a weekly cycle, with digital tools compiling the backup for every bill.
Audit Commended
An external audit praised our clean records and easy-to-follow summaries.
Two Ways to Work Together
Every engagement starts with a free Clarity Call and a clear plan.
ONGOING
Fractional CFO & COO
I become part of your leadership team, with a monthly rhythm of numbers, decisions and follow-through, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Best for: Owners who want a long-term partner to plan, track and steer growth.
ONE-TIME
Project-Based Consulting
A focused engagement on one challenge, such as job costing setup, a software implementation or a cash flow turnaround, with no long-term commitment.
Best for: Owners with one clear problem to fix first.
Common Questions
-
Your bookkeeper records what happened, and your CPA handles taxes. A fractional CFO & COO uses those numbers to plan ahead: job margins, cash flow, pricing and growth decisions.
-
It depends on what your business needs. Most clients work with me on a set monthly fee, far less than a full-time CFO. After your Clarity Call, you’ll get a clear price before any work starts.
-
Yes. I’m based in Marshall, MN, and regularly meet in person with contractors in southwest Minnesota and the surrounding region. For contractors farther away, we work together through video calls and shared systems, with on-site visits when the work calls for it.
-
I work with the tools you already have, from QuickBooks to estimating, project management and field service apps, and help you choose new ones when it makes sense.
-
It’s a free 30-minute conversation, by phone or Google Meet, about your numbers, your biggest bottleneck and what to fix first. No pressure and no obligation.
