Tools, tips and templates for construction business owners

If you are like most of our clients, you are overwhelmed by managing the business side of your construction company. It’s not that you can’t get in there and do the job, but in the long list of things to do each day, it goes to the bottom of the list. It gets done after hours or on weekends or when you can find a few spare moments to conc

entrate. You have to be the one to determine the financial strategy for the business. For example:

Should I buy or lease this piece of equipment? Am I growing the value of my business? If I take this big job at a lower margin, is it worth it to keep my people busy? Do I have enough work to cover my overhead and make a profit? What about when you add in the requests from your outside partners, like your surety and banker? They can really layer on the questions! How is your working capital? Are you going to meet your loan covenants? What does cash flow look like? How is your budget for next year? And so you think to yourself, it would be great if I could find someone:

-who had experience in the construction industry

-who had experience in construction software programs

-who could help with relationships, not just the numbers

-who feels confident in helping make business and financial decision

-who can handle the pace and intensity that the construction industry serves up daily

Well there is a problem:

Accountants are hard to find. They have been one of the Top 10 most in demand jobs for most of the past decade. Accountants typically go into accounting because they prefer numbers to people. There are exceptions, but most accountants like numbers and they don’t like making tough decisions. They tend to be more naturally conservative. There are very few accountants who spend time in the construction industry. Construction accounting is typically not taught in school, so it is learned through practice. Because our construction industry and our accounting industry are dealing with a severe labor shortage, these two industries together are struggling to find good help. So, we decided to create ATLAS CFO. We realized that if you can put tools in the hands of the owner or the bookkeeper, accounting manager or Controller in a business, the business can move forward. The business can move forward without the expense of a CFO or the pain of finding one. Our goal is to help you succeed by getting more productive, increasing profitability, managing cash flow and gaining a better understanding and clearer visibility of the financial health of your business. We share articles, videos, templates, forms and strategic financial planning tools that have worked for us and our clients and they will work for you. You are always welcome to call or email us, but if you’d like to get started right now, check out our training page. You might find the topic you are struggling with right now and get the help you need to move forward. We post articles, share advice and update training content regularly so sign up to stay in touch with us.

What a great way to introduce our youth to the many opportunities in our industry!

CEI's Anna Negrete and ArDOT's Aaron Pinedo helped with the Springdale High School Engineering and Architecture Academy STEM Day, where students from George Junior High came to SHS for a day full of STEM activities. Students had the opportunity to build structures to withstand earthquakes, soldering, CAD Modeling, and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. Anna Negrete was a graduate of the Academy in 2009, and Aaron Pinedo in 2013.
