Cash cycle cut by 41 days

Challenge

Invoices went out late, change orders went unbilled, and no one could see the true margin on a live job until it was finished.

Solution

We rebuilt how jobs are quoted, tracked, and billed, and added a 13-week cash forecast the owners review every Monday.

Outcome

The cash cycle shortened by 41 days. The owners stopped relying on their credit line and funded a new crew from their own profits.
