Profit can look healthy while cash is getting squeezed.

A contractor can show margin on the P&L and still be short when payroll hits because billings, collections, retainage, and job costs move on different clocks.

Track profit and cash separately. Save this for your next job review.

Myth: if you’re busy and billing, your cash flow is fine.
Reality: you can be fully booked and still be cash-starved.

Here is how it happens: you are paying your crew and subs every week. Materials are going out the door. But your GC pays on 45-day terms, retainage is held until substantial completion, and two change orders from last month are still waiting on approval before you can bill them.

The work is getting done. The cash is not keeping up.

Cash flow in construction is not about how much you are billing — it is about the timing between when money goes out and when it comes back in. That gap is where contractors get squeezed.

LNH CPA helps contractors map their cash flow cycle, identify the gaps before they become a crisis, and build a financial system that keeps cash visible. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

FAQ: "Do I really need a fractional controller, or is my bookkeeper enough?"

A bookkeeper records what happened. A fractional controller helps you understand what it means and what to do about it.

For a contractor running jobs, a bookkeeper keeps the transactions organized. But if you are trying to understand which jobs are profitable, why your cash is tight even when revenue is up, or whether your pricing is actually covering your overhead — that is controller-level work.

A fractional controller brings monthly close, job costing, financial reporting, and cash flow analysis without the cost of a full-time hire. For contractors in the $500K–$10M range, it is often the missing piece between staying busy and actually building profit.

LNH CPA provides fractional controller services built specifically for contractors. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

Did you know the cost of labor on a job is almost always higher than the hourly wage?

Wages are the visible part. But the full cost of putting a worker on a job includes payroll taxes, workers’ comp, general liability, and other employer costs that add up fast. When those costs are not factored into the bid, a job can look profitable at the estimate stage and come up short at the end.

Understanding the real cost of labor — not just the wage — is one of the most important inputs for accurate job pricing.

LNH CPA helps contractors calculate their true labor burden, build it into their job costing, and price work with numbers that actually protect margin. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

Hot take: a positive P&L does not mean your business is actually profitable.

A P&L shows you the total. It does not show you which jobs made money, which ones lost money, or whether the profit you see is coming from one strong job covering the losses on three others.

Without job-level costing, a contractor can have a great-looking income statement and still be building a business on a shaky foundation. The profit looks real until the strong job is gone.

Job costing is what turns a P&L from a summary into a decision-making tool. LNH CPA helps contractors set up job costing in QuickBooks, run a monthly close, and understand exactly where the profit is coming from. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

Quick win: add a retainage receivable review to your monthly close.

Retainage is money you have already earned. It is held back by the GC or owner until the job reaches a certain milestone or completion, but it is still yours. The problem is that when retainage is not tracked clearly by job, it can sit unreviewed for months — and in some cases, the window to collect it quietly closes.

A simple monthly review of what is held, by which job, and when it is due for release can protect real cash that is already on the table.

LNH CPA helps contractors build the monthly reporting process that keeps retainage, unbilled work, and job cash flow visible and actionable. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

Construction Q&A: What is a WIP schedule?

A WIP schedule — work in progress — is a report that shows where each active job stands between what has been earned and what has been billed. It helps a contractor see whether a job is running ahead of billing, behind billing, or right on track.

Without it, a contractor can feel like cash is fine when a job is actually underbilled, or feel behind when the billing is actually ahead of the work. Either way, the WIP schedule is one of the clearest tools for understanding what the business is really doing on active jobs.

LNH CPA helps contractors build and use WIP schedules as part of a monthly reporting rhythm so the numbers support better decisions. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.

Myth: adding 20% markup to your costs means 20% profit.

Reality: markup and margin are calculated differently, and confusing them can mean your pricing leaves less room than you think.

This is one of the most common pricing blind spots for contractors. The bid looks right, the job looks profitable, and then the numbers at the end do not match the expectation. Understanding the difference between markup and margin is one of the first steps to building pricing that actually protects cash and profit.

LNH CPA helps contractors review job history, understand their real margins, and build a pricing process backed by actual numbers. Book a consultation at lnhcpa.com.
