We help commercial construction owners:

Accurate financials support all of this. We help you get them, understand them, and use them.
Built for Owners Who Want to Grow
We usually work best with commercial construction companies producing between $2 million and $50 million in annual revenue.
Our best clients have an owner who is involved in the company, wants to improve it, and values having experienced financial people at the table.
The books don’t have to be clean and the accounting team doesn’t have to be perfect.
You don’t even have to know which service you need. Just tell us what you want the company to do better. We’ll work together with you to come up with a plan for the financial side.
Just Tell Us What You Want to Improve
You may want to make more money.
You may need better cash flow.
You may be trying to increase your bonding.
You may want to grow but can’t tell what the company can afford.
You may be tired of waiting for financial reports that arrive too late to help.
You may want the accounting department to run without so much involvement from you.
Book a call and tell us what’s happening.
We’ll talk through where the company is now, where you want it to go, and what may be standing in the way.
If we can help, we’ll give recommendations and what working together would look like.
How We Help Make That Happen
Depending on your company and what service level you need, we may help:
- Keep month-end and financial reporting on schedule
- Improve WIP and job-cost reporting
- Find where profit is being made or lost
- Forecast cash and future financial results
- Train and manage the accounting team
- Improve financial software and automate manual work
- Prepare better information for banks and sureties
- Plan hiring, equipment, overhead, and growth
- Explain the numbers to ownership
- Help turn those numbers into decisions
You don’t have to worry about understanding each option deeply and picking from the list.
Just book a call, tell us what your goals are, and we’ll help come up with a plan together:
Better Numbers Lead to Better Decisions
Make More Money
See where margins are slipping, which jobs need attention, and where the company has room to improve.

We Stay Involved
Atlas is built for long-term relationships.
We may begin by fixing an immediate problem, cleaning up a process, or helping the accounting team get caught up.
Then we keep working with you.
We help maintain accurate financials, improve the process, watch for new problems, and support the decisions that come with running and growing the company.
You get a financial partner who knows the company, understands its history, and can help as the goals change.
We Know Construction Because We’ve Worked Inside It
Shane and Melissa spent nearly 30 years working inside construction companies as CFOs, COOs, accountants, and owners.
They have managed WIP, cash shortages, job-cost problems, banks, sureties, accounting departments, and difficult software.
They have also dealt with jobs that looked profitable until the accounting caught up.
Atlas grew from that experience.
We help commercial contractors get experienced construction finance support without hiring a full-time CFO or controller.
