Before I started a bookkeeping company for construction teams, I spent about two and a half years in private equity evaluating construction and construction software companies. Much of that work meant getting inside contractors' financials and judging whether the numbers actually held up — across businesses in the US, Europe, and Australia. Earlier on, I studied engineering at the University of Michigan and graduated Summa Cum Laude, worked at Microsoft, and spent time on a GC's crew. Since then, I've built a team of two accountants with 10+ years each in construction accounting specifically — having worked inside both small and large contractor shops and as fractional CFOs. They are both tech-forward and work very efficiently, but have an extreme level of precision. Their profiles are below, and I'm happy to start with a consultation on us so you can see you're in good hands. Madeline is a CPA and controller that brings 10+ years of accounting, bookkeeping, and tax experience, having spent her career exclusively focused on construction accounting, including running her own construction accounting firm before selling it to work with Stonebook. She's especially strong at reviewing a company's processes and financials and quickly spotting opportunities — in many cases, a simple review surfaces a few thousand dollars in improved cash position. Her focus areas include: - Construction accounting: WIP, percentage-of-completion, job costing, indirect allocations - Fractional CFO services, business consulting, and exit-strategy planning - Bookkeeping, payroll, and month-end close (bank reconciliation, financial reporting) - Income tax prep (individual, sole prop, partnership/LLC, S-corp, C-corp) - QuickBooks, ComputerEase, and Ramp setup, plus custom reporting - Budgeting, cash flow projections, fixed-asset and inventory tracking, year-end adjustments Steve Steve is a CPA and former construction controller who ran the full accounting function for a large general contractor — job costing, WIP schedules, bonding support, debt-covenant compliance, and close — not as an outside consultant, but as the person in the controller's chair day to day. He spent nearly a decade solving exactly the problems contractors run into: messy books, unreliable job-cost reports, overbilling surprises, and surety questions that are hard to answer. Before that, he spent four years in public accounting. He holds an active CPA license and knows both the realities of construction finance and the standards your CPA and surety expect, including GAAP and ASC 606. He works best with contractors in the $500k–$50M range who've outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time controller — whether that's a one-time cleanup, ongoing monthly support, or fractional controller work. His core services: - Job-cost setup, tracking, and analysis - WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion accounting - Financial statements for sureties and lenders - Cash flow forecasting and management - Month-end and year-end close - QuickBooks cleanup, setup, and ongoing bookkeeping - Change-order accounting, budgeting, and overhead allocation Have worked with the following software platforms: - QBO - Housecall Pro - Buildertrend - Service Fusion - Xero
