Most construction companies don’t fail because they’re not working hard.
They fail because they don’t know what’s actually happening financially.

In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, we sit down with Stewart Bohrer — The Construction CFO for Subcontractors — who took an unconventional path from BIM, prefab, and operations into finance.

We break down why:

• Most subcontractors don’t know if their jobs are profitable until it’s too late

• Cash flow issues are often billing problems, not revenue problems

• And why tracking just 4 key metrics can outperform any “fancy dashboard”

• Why prefab thinking = better financial predictability

• The real reason subcontractors feel financial pain before GCs

• How underbilling silently destroys profit

• The difference between gross profit vs net profit (and why it confuses everyone)

• Why job costing is the #1 system every contractor needs

• How a business can look profitable… but still run out of cash on Friday

• When to hire a fractional CFO vs in-house

“Most stress in construction is not knowing what you don’t know.”

And the fix isn’t more data —
it’s better systems and tighter focus.

• Subcontractors doing $1M–$10M in revenue

• Owners flying blind on job profitability

• Anyone still running their business on QuickBooks + gut feel
