Summary
Details

Why does it feel like the harder you work, the less money you actually have?

You bid the jobs. You do the work. You send the invoice-and then you wait. Meanwhile, payroll's due, overhead piles up, and suppliers want their checks. For too many contractors, profit always seems like it's just out of reach.

Whether you're a commercial or residential contractor, this book was written for you. It's not financial theory. It's a plainspoken, real-world system built for the way contractors actually operate-in good times and bad.

Profit First for Commercial Construction is a practical business fable that follows one contractor's journey from cash flow chaos to financial control. Based on the globally proven Profit First system-and customized for the unique cash flow challenges in construction-this book gives you a step-by-step blueprint to make your business permanently profitable.

You'll discover how to:

Get paid first-without starving your business Build stability and predictability, even when clients delay payments Take control of your money without complex accounting tools Avoid common cash flow traps like tax surprises, late draws, and lumpy payment cycles Break the cycle of robbing this job to pay for the last one-and finally stop sweating payroll

You'll recognize yourself in the characters. You'll see your own business in the story's ups and downs. And you'll walk away with tools that don't just make sense-they work.

If you're tired of waiting until the end of the job to see if there's anything left over...

If you're always covering shortfalls out of your personal account...

If you feel like you're growing but not getting ahead...

This book is for you.

You don't need an MBA. You don't need to be good at spreadsheets. You just need a system that's built for contractors.

Profit isn't what's left over. It should be built in from the start.
