Fractional CFO & Controller Services

Construction Fractional CFO & Controller Services to Maximize Job Profitability and Cash Flow

Construction businesses don’t fail from lack of work, they struggle from lack of financial visibility. Between job costing, WIP tracking, and cash flow timing, it’s easy to lose control of profitability as you grow. LLŪM provides both strategic financial leadership and hands-on execution, giving you clear insight into every project, predictable cash flow, and the structure needed to scale profitably.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"We review timely WIP reports, updated forecasts, and accurate financials that give me complete confidence in our numbers. Those conversations have gone from stressful to strategic — we're making decisions based on real data, not gut instinct."

James R.

Owner, General Contractor — California

★★★★★

"After going through two accounting firms, we had gotten to the point of giving up. We could not find a specialized company that understood Timberline software alongside having good industry knowledge. LLŪM was a game-changer. Fast forward 2 years and we now have a reliable set of financials every month."

Sarah K.

CFO, Construction Company — Pacific Northwest

★★★★★

"At the end of 2021 my company was short-staffed and way behind in accounting. I do not exaggerate when I say I would not have made it through this last year without LLŪM. Laurie was so knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. I would highly recommend them to anyone with accounting needs."
