Roofing Fractional CFO Services
Most roofing companies run at 8–15% net margins. Yours should be at 20%+.
We’ve sat on the buy side of home services M&A. We know storm vs. retail economics, crew-level job costing, supplement recovery, and subcontractor margins. We don’t just read your P&L — we know which numbers are wrong and exactly where your margin is leaking.

Where roofing companies lose margin
No visibility into margin by job type
Storm work, insurance restoration, retail replacements, commercial contracts — each has fundamentally different cost structures. Without job-type P&Ls, your high-margin retail work might be subsidizing low-margin storm chasing and you’d never know.
A great year on revenue, flat on profit
Big storm season means big revenue — but also big subcontractor costs, more trucks, and overhead that doesn’t go away when the storms stop. Without financial modeling for storm vs. retail mix, you’re guessing whether growth is actually profitable.
Cash flow swings nobody planned for
Roofing has extreme cash flow variability — insurance supplements take months, material deposits go out before revenue comes in, and seasonal demand creates feast-or-famine cycles. Without a cash flow model, a big quarter can still leave you scrambling for payroll.
Crew costs are a black box
Subcontractor labor, W-2 crews, material waste, callback rates — the real cost of putting a roof on varies wildly by crew and job type. Nobody is tracking profitability at the crew level, so you can’t tell your best producers from your worst.
A CFO focused on your roofing profitability — not just your books
Profitability Diagnostic
Most roofing companies find 5–10+ points of margin improvement in the first 90 days. We map your margins by job type — storm restoration, retail replacements, repairs, commercial — then show you exactly where the gaps are and what closing them is worth in dollars.
Monthly Financial Review
Know exactly what changed in your margins last month — and what to do about it this month. A structured monthly meeting walking through your P&L by job type and crew, tracking variance against benchmarks, and identifying the specific levers that move your bottom line.
KPI Dashboard
The numbers that actually drive your roofing bottom line — connected to your financials for the first time. Revenue per crew, average job margin by type, lead-to-close conversion, cost per lead, and supplement recovery rates, all tied to financial outcomes. Updated monthly.
Cash Flow Forecasting
Know exactly when cash gets tight before it happens — not after. Rolling 13-week projections accounting for insurance supplement timelines, material deposits, subcontractor payables, and seasonal demand, so you make growth decisions with confidence instead of checking the bank balance.
Compensation & Incentive Design
Comp that drives profitable growth — not just more jobs at thinner margins. We model sales rep commissions, crew lead bonuses, and production incentives against your actual margins so you scale without giving away your profit.
Exit & PE Readiness
Every dollar of margin improvement is worth 4–7x at exit. A $12M roofing company at 10% margins might sell for $4–5M. At 20% margins, that same company is worth $10–17M. We normalize your storm vs. retail mix for buyers and build your books to PE standards — whether you sell next year or in ten.
If you’re leaving $500K/year on the table, that’s $42K slipping away every month you wait. Let’s find the 5–10 points of improvement hiding in your numbers.
The expertise to know what’s wrong. The tools to fix it.
We know your trade — financially and operationally
We work exclusively with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing companies. We don’t just understand your chart of accounts — we understand your operations. Tech comp structures, seasonal demand patterns, job costing gaps, crew economics, pricebook optimization. That operational depth is why we can find margin that generic CFOs miss.
200+ home services financials reviewed — we know what good looks like
Our team has reviewed financials on 200+ home services acquisitions on the buy side — including experience at firms like Apex Service Partners. We’ve seen what 20%+ margins look like across every trade and revenue level. We know exactly which levers produce results — and which ones are noise.
Diagnostic tools that connect operations to dollars
We bridge the gap between your field service platform and your financials. ServiceTitan data, QuickBooks reporting, department-level P&Ls, crew-level profitability — we build the infrastructure to see where money is being made and where it’s leaking. Then we help you fix it.
We’ve seen what 20%+ margins look like — and we know how to get you there.
