A California Construction Business Finds Financial Clarity

Helping a Bay Area Carpenter Regain Certified Payroll Compliance

Helping a Bay Area Carpenter Regain Certified Payroll Compliance

A California client was a year behind in Foundation Software with no budget or job costing. We cleaned up 10 months of bookkeeping, fixed their chart of accounts, and made everything CPA-ready. We guided them through reports, handled reconciliations, held monthly CFO meetings, and took over accounts payable. With clear financials, they now bid smarter and make confident, data-driven decisions.
