Construction Fractional CFO in Texas

Financial Leadership Built for Contractors

Accounting services for construction aren’t just about numbers. Contractors need financial leadership that protects margins, keeps projects moving, and gives owners confidence to make big decisions. That’s exactly what LLUM™ delivers with our construction fractional CFO services; designed specifically for contractors.

How a Fractional CFO Helps Your Construction Business

A CFO isn’t just a number cruncher. Think of us as your financial quarterback, leading strategy, cash flow planning, and margin oversight so you always know where your business stands. Our team works with you to make sure your money works as hard as your crew.

With LLUM™, you get:

  • Job costing and margin forecasting to see which projects actually make money.
  • Reliable WIP reporting and oversight so lenders, bonding companies, and owners trust your numbers.
  • Strategic cash flow planning that keeps projects moving without surprises.
  • Financial dashboards that show the truth about performance.
  • Guidance on growth, staffing, and equipment decisions to help you make smart moves.

Signs It’s Time for a Fractional CFO

Most contractors wait too long before adding real financial leadership. Consider LLUM™ if:
  • Financial reports are late or don’t match what’s happening on-site.
  • You’re not reviewing job costs or WIP every month.
  • Cash flow feels unpredictable or stressful.
  • Banks or bonding agents ask for reports you can’t produce.
  • You’ve outgrown your bookkeeper and need someone to take ownership of outcomes.

If any of these hit close to home, a construction fractional CFO from LLUM™ is the next step.

CFO vs. Bookkeeper

A bookkeeper records what happened. A CFO plans ahead and helps you make decisions before problems hit.

  • Bookkeeper: Payroll, invoices, reconciliations.
  • Fractional CFO: Forecasting, financial strategy, accountability, and growth planning.

Construction companies need both. Outsource accounting services or in-house teams provide the foundation, but only a CFO turns the numbers into decisions that drive results.

How LLUM™ Works With Your Team

We strengthen your current accounting setup, not replace it. LLUM™ integrates with your bookkeeper, controller, or outsourced accounting services to reduce errors, improve reporting, and ensure your team aligns with your financial goals.

LLUM™ is built for construction. We know retainage, labor burden, progress billing, and every moving part of construction accounting. Every report is tailored to your projects. Every recommendation considers how jobs run in real life. You get clarity and confidence in your financial decisions, month after month.

What Our Clients Say

DUNCAN GALVANIZING LOGO

“LLŪM’s experience and assistance has been crucial as we embark on an accounting system migration. Throw in the curve ball of an unexpected change to our internal Controller, and LLŪM’s expertise in accounting best practices, across industries, and with NetSuite has been game-changing for us. Although all work is completed remotely, it feels as if our LLŪM team is here with us. Even better is that Tim, our primary contact at LLŪM, makes accounting – and learning about accounting – actually fun.”

“At the end of 2021 my company was short-staffed and way behind in accounting. We struggled to find the support and help we needed until we found LLŪM. I am so grateful to be working with Laurie, a Controller at LLŪM. She is so knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. She helped us to get caught up and still provides the continued support and mentorship that I desperately need. I do not exaggerate when I say I would not have made it through this last year without her. It’s been a great experience and I would highly recommend LLŪM to anyone with accounting needs.”

“After going through two accounting firms, we had gotten to the point of giving up on the accounting for our construction company. We could not find a specialized company that understood Timberline software alongside having good industry knowledge. We were referred by our CPA to LLŪM and from our initial meeting, we were blown away. Fast forward 2 years and we are now receiving a reliable set of financials and meeting with a Controller that understands our industry and trade.”

Building Processes & Job Costing Clarity

“LLŪM completely transformed how we manage our job costing and AR/AP. Before working with them, we didn’t have clear processes, and our WIP reports were overwhelming. Now, we not only understand our over- and under-billings, but we also have the confidence to make the right financial decisions for our projects and company growth. Their team helped us build a financial structure that gives us clarity and consistency month after month.”

Tax Savings, Financial Clarity & Strategic Partnerships

“The LLŪM team connected us with a construction-focused tax CPA who uncovered thousands of dollars in R&D credits and tax opportunities we had been missing for years. We now close our financials every month and review cash flow forecasts and WIP reports to clearly understand job performance. LLŪM also created SOPs for our internal AR/AP staff, ensuring consistency and accountability. As an owner, I finally feel confident knowing our financials are accurate, our processes are strong, and I can make informed decisions about new projects and business growth.”

Faster Closes & Business Owner Freedom

“We used to be three months behind on our financials, constantly playing catch-up and making decisions with outdated information. LLŪM helped us create efficient month-end processes so we can close our books by the 15th of each month. Now, our financials are accurate, timely, and actionable. This change has freed me from being buried in details — I can finally focus on business development and driving growth instead of worrying about what’s missing in the books.”

Big Tree Construction

Confidence Through Accurate WIP Reporting

“Before LLŪM, I would stay up at night worrying about cash flow and job performance because I had no clear visibility. Now, I actually look forward to our monthly CFO meetings. 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.”
