“He stays on top of everything and I always know where we stand.”Matt B., construction business owner, in a Google review of Jordan Peacock's bookkeeping firm
Outsourced bookkeeper, controller and CFO for contractors
Know your numbers 13 weeks out, checked every Monday.
Books closed by the 10th, profit by job, and a cash forecast checked against your bank every week.
30 minutes, then a one-page summary in 2 business days.
The cash gap
Profit on the books. Nothing in the bank.
Payroll and suppliers go out every week. Pay apps come in weeks later, and retainage waits for closeout. So the books can show a profit while the bank runs dry.
A forecast checked every Monday shows week 6 in week 1, while there's still time to chase a pay app, push a purchase or line up the bank.

What should I have ready for the review?
Your bank balance, your open pay apps and your WIP schedule, if you keep one.

Know your numbers 13 weeks out.
Without a forecast, week 6 shows up as a payroll you can't cover. Picture seeing it in week 1 instead: you call the GC about the late pay app five weeks early, and payroll in week 6 clears without a scramble.
