The visibility gap
You don’t have a revenue problem. You have a visibility problem.
You know your revenue. But can your current numbers answer the questions that determine what you keep?
Which jobs are actually making money?
Where is labour eating your margin?
Which projects consistently underperform?
Is your pricing high enough?
How much cash will you need next month?
Can you afford another crew?

Core service
Financial Management for Contractors
An outsourced financial manager without the cost of a full-time controller or CFO. No long-term contract.
Our 90-Day Guarantee
We find what you’ve paid us—or your next month is free.
If we don’t find what you’ve paid us in opportunities during your first 90 days, your next month is free.
We cannot control whether recommendations are implemented, so we do not promise a specific profit increase. We guarantee active analysis and meaningful opportunities to improve profitability and/or cash flow.
Example
Three months at $1,500/month is $4,500. If we don’t find at least $4,500 in opportunities, your next month is free.
Who we help
Built for busy construction companies ready for financial control.
Best suited to companies doing approximately $1M–$10M in annual revenue, especially contractors in the $2M–$5M range without a financial manager, controller or CFO.
Residential construction
General contractors
Renovation companies
Custom home builders

Optional add-on
Need Bookkeeping Too?
Keep your existing bookkeeper or let Build Merge handle it. Financial management stands on its own.
Bookkeeping is priced as an additional monthly service based on transaction volume and complexity.
