Job margin and cash, before the job is done.
One team for finance, accounting and operations
Focused Energy provides fractional CFO, controller and COO services to contractors and trades businesses with $3M to $50M in revenue. The team tracks job cost against estimate while jobs are open, runs billing and accounts payable on a weekly rhythm, and gives the owner and project managers a monthly read on job margin. Focused Energy has not yet published a construction case study.
Focused Energy has not published a construction case study yet. Our operators have run job costing, field service margin and weekly cash for contractors and life safety companies whose work is bid, installed and serviced. Ask us for a reference in your trade.
Track cost against estimate
While the job is still open.
Track job cost against estimate while the job is open, so you can act on the overrun instead of reading about it after close out.


Run cash on a rhythm
Planned, not discovered.
Run billing, AP and payroll on a weekly cadence so cash is planned, not discovered.
One page a month
Which jobs are winning, and why.
Give the owner and the project managers one short read each month: which jobs are winning, which aren't, and why.
