Experience behind the numbers

Construction experience.
Before the finance business.

Before founding Today CFO, Tom spent nearly six years running job costing and logistics in construction. Tracking costs in the field. Following vendor supply chains. Seeing how the work and the money moved together.

He then built and sold a software company before founding Today CFO in 2015. That combination of operations, systems and finance shapes how we work today.

Before we talk

A few things
you may be wondering.

More questions, answered
Do you work with businesses like mine?

We focus on construction. Our commercial work serves specialty subcontractors, including mechanical, electrical, concrete, steel, glazing and fire protection. Our residential and light commercial practice serves HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing and remodeling businesses, including family-operated shops.

Find your specialty
Do I need a full finance department?

Your scope should reflect the work you need. Residential engagements focus on bookkeeping and tax strategy. Commercial engagements can add contract reporting, compliance and CFO support as required.

See how scope can change
How do you determine the price?

We look at the work behind your numbers and the services you need before proposing a scope and fee. Commercial pricing reflects an anchor, the actual workload and the selected services; the fee is fixed for the quarter and reviewed in both directions.

How commercial pricing works
What happens after the first call?

For a commercial engagement, the next step is a free Financial Risk Assessment before either side commits. You keep the findings and plan whether or not you continue. Residential businesses follow a separate conversation about their bookkeeping and tax needs.
