The Contractor Owner's Playbook for Fixing Cash Flow Without Expensive Software, Raising Prices or Taking on Debt (LIVE EXAMPLES)
Your P&L says you made money last year. Your bank account says something different. That gap — between what you earned on paper and what actually sits in the bank — is the single most common problem in construction, and it has nothing to do with how hard you're working or how many jobs you're closing. Using real, live examples from real contracting businesses, this keynote lays out exactly why profitable companies run out of cash, and the specific playbook to fix it — without buying another piece of software, without raising your prices, and without taking on debt to bridge the gap. This isn't theory. It's the exact framework being used inside contracting businesses right now to turn "profitable on paper" into cash you can actually see.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the specific point in your business where profit is quietly leaking out between the job and the bank account.
- Learn the account structure that separates true profit from operating cash — so you always know what's actually yours to spend.
- See a live, real-numbers example of a contractor who fixed this exact problem without raising a single price.
- Leave with the first two moves to make this week to start closing your own cash flow gap.
