Fractional controller for custom home builders
Controller-level reporting for builders who have outgrown basic bookkeeping but do not need a full-time CFO.
Short answer: A fractional controller is a part-time controller who owns the monthly close, job cost accuracy, the WIP schedule and cash forecasting for a business that does not need a full-time hire. For a custom home builder, that means reliable margin by house, a cash view across staggered draws, and lender-ready reports.
Bookkeeper, controller or CFO?
- Bookkeeper: records transactions and reconciles accounts.
- Controller: makes sure the numbers are right and complete, closes the month, owns job cost, WIP and reporting.
- CFO: plans financing, growth and strategy using those numbers.
Many builders running 6 to 10 homes at once need controller work most. Our Builder Controller plan is built for that.
