Strategic Consulting

Construction Industry Expertise

Our goal at Contractor Financial Group is to help our clients become comfortable making data-informed decisions that lead to growth for their company. We guide our clients in collecting, organizing, and presenting the correct data. Our strategic approach allows leadership and management to be able to quickly access data and utilize it to help make informed business decisions.

REPORTING & DATA ANALYTICS

At CFG, we understand how overwhelming data and reporting can be. As an effort to make reporting manageable, we help our clients build dashboards to present data and analysis of their company in a clear and concise way. Our process starts by determining the amount of financial and management reporting needed to help monitor their business. Our team assesses the need for each report and makes recommendations on changes and/or additional data needs. We calculate past and future performance ratios and compare client information to industry best practices. This is a continuous process as our client’s company expand and require new reports and data to inform decisions.

THE CFG CONSULTING METHOD

CFG works with our client’s accounting staff to obtain historical and current data. After thoroughly studying the client’s key metrics and drivers, our team meets with leadership teams to assess their business needs. Based on the information obtained, we develop necessary reporting and analysis by:

  • Ensuring proper financial statement preparation, classification, and presentation
  • Reviewing and developing key performance ratios, comparing these historically to determine the best range of acceptable performance
  • Assessing liquidity ratios and cash management ratios
  • Reviewing and developing operational ratios, efficiency analysis, and associated reporting
  • Developing a schedule for timely monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting
  • Reviewing outside reporting requirements, work with outside partners to streamline existing reporting and formats, and ensure they are receiving the necessary reports

KEY ASPECTS OF
CFG CONSULTING

Our goal is to understand our client’s goals and elevate their business plan to enable them to obtain success. Examining the company’s financial commitments, capital structure and operational cash flows allows us to determine the appropriate financial models requirements for each business plan initiative. Based on those models, our team works with leadership to ensure they are on track in generating the financial requirements, and, if needed, make course corrections. We also work on our client’s behalf to obtain and plan for future commitments, ensuring our clients have the necessary resources to meet their strategic initiatives.

The three main areas we access are:

RISK MANAGEMENT

In today’s world of ever changing liability, business risk is a certainty. Risks such as operational risk, financial risk, insurance risk, contract risk, and technology risk force companies to review their processes in an attempt to address and minimize danger. Our team works with our clients to identify risk, assess it, and manage it to the best of their ability.

ASSESSING & MINIMIZING RISK

Understanding and accessing financial expenditures associated with risk mitigation programs such as insurance plans, data recovery plans, health and benefit plans and technology plans is crucial for the health of a business. Our ultimate goal is to help clients minimize cost, minimize exposure and maximize benefits.

BUSINESS PLANNING

At CFG we want to help you expand and reach your highest potential. Often clients fail to achieve success because they run into financing or capital limitations from the lack of financial planning. While a business plan is necessary it is significantly different from a financial plan. Clients work with our team to develop a financial plan that mirrors and supports their vision for growth.
