A local commercial construction company in Northwest Indiana had grown to significant revenue -- but on hustle, not systems. We helped them get their financials in order, build a real hiring process, and create the operational infrastructure they needed for the next stage of growth.
The company had grown to significant revenue, but it was running on the owner's effort rather than repeatable systems. The owner was involved in every estimate, every hiring decision, and every financial call. QuickBooks was a mess. P&L visibility was nonexistent -- the owner had no clear picture of where money was going or which jobs were actually profitable.
Hiring was ad hoc. When they needed someone, they scrambled to fill the role. The result was inconsistent quality and high turnover. New hires took too long to get productive because there was no structured onboarding process. The business was growing, but the foundation was not built to support that growth.
We developed a phased approach starting with the most urgent problem: financial clarity. Without clean financials, every other decision is based on guesswork. From there, we moved into hiring systemization to fix the revolving door of talent. Finally, we built operational systems so the business could function without the owner being involved in every detail.
We cleaned up the existing QuickBooks data, restructured the chart of accounts, and built a P&L that actually reflected how the business operated. The owner could finally see which projects were profitable and where money was being lost.
We built a complete hiring system -- sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding. This replaced the reactive scramble with a repeatable process that brought in better candidates and got them productive faster.
We systematized estimating, project management, and job costing. We built dashboards that gave the owner visibility into project status and financial performance without having to chase down information from the field.
With systems in place, we continue to serve as a growth advisor -- helping the owner make strategic decisions with real data rather than gut feel.
QuickBooks, custom SOPs, and project management tools -- all configured to fit the specific workflows of a commercial construction operation.
This engagement is relevant for construction companies, trades businesses, and any company that grew fast without building the systems to support that growth. If your financials are a mess, your hiring is reactive, and you are personally involved in every operational decision, this is the kind of work that changes the trajectory of your business.
If your business has grown faster than your infrastructure, we can help you build the foundation for the next stage. Start with a free consultation.
