Install, service, inspection. Know which one makes you money.
One team for finance, accounting and operations
Focused Energy provides fractional CFO, controller and COO services to fire protection, alarm and life safety contractors with $3M to $50M in revenue. The team rebuilds margin by service line (install, service, inspection, monitoring) from work orders and invoices, runs a weekly leadership cadence, and builds the recurring revenue and utilization view an owner needs when approached by a consolidator.
Focused Energy works inside fire and life safety companies today, running finance, accounting and operations as one team. We publish a client's numbers only with their written approval; ask us for a reference.
Rebuild margin by service line
Install, service, inspection, monitoring.

Set the operating cadence
One owner for every open item.
Set the operating cadence: a weekly leadership rhythm, one owner for every open item, and a monthly read on the plan versus what happened.
Build the forward view
Before a consolidator calls.
Build the forward view an owner needs when a consolidator calls: recurring revenue, technician utilization and a plan you wrote, not one you were handed.
