THE DIAGNOSIS

Before LLUM, Most Contractors Are Flying Blind. We Replace Basic Bookkeeping With CFOs and Accountants Who Live and Breathe Construction. Numbers You Can Actually Run the Business On.

Before · As-Found Condition

Running on Gut Feel and a Year-old P&L

  • You don't know which jobs are making money until they close — if ever.
  • Your QuickBooks guy calls retainage "deferred revenue" and treats overbilling like a bonus.
  • Bonding capacity is capped because nobody produces a clean WIP.
  • Tax surprises every April. Cash-flow panic every Thursday payroll.
  • You bid the next job on the same margin that sank the last one.
After · Issued for Construction

Running on Monthly Reviews and Reports Your Business Can Trust

  • Job-cost report every Monday. Over/underbillings flagged before they hit the bank.
  • GAAP-compliant WIP schedule your surety will actually accept — bonding capacity grows.
  • 13-week rolling cash forecast. You see the Thursday before the Thursday.
  • Proactive tax strategy — Section 460, look-back, R&D, you name it.
  • Bid margins priced off real historicals, not a napkin.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Real Results from Real Contractors

"LLŪM’s experience and assistance has been crucial as we embark on an accounting system migration. Throw in the curve ball of an unexpected change to our internal Controller, and LLÜM's expertise in accounting best practices, across industries, and with NetSuite has been game-changing for us. Although all work is completed remotely, it feels as if our LLÜM team is here with us. Even better is that Tim, our primary contact at LLÜM, makes accounting – and learning about accounting – actually fun."

"LLŪM completely transformed how we manage our job costing and AR/AP. Before working with them, we didn't have clear processes, and our WIP reports were overwhelming. Now, we not only understand our over- and under-billings, but we also have the confidence to make the right financial decisions for our projects and company growth. Their team helped us build a financial structure that gives us clarity and consistency month after month."

"After going through two accounting firms, we had gotten to the point of giving up on the accounting for our construction company. We could not find a specialized company that understood Timberline software alongside having good industry knowledge. We were referred by our CPA to LLÜM and from our initial meeting, we were blown away. Fast forward 2 years and we are now receiving a reliable set of financials and meeting with a Controller that understands our industry and trade."
