From clients

What contractors say after working with us.

DSO was 73 days and I figured that was just commercial work. Sam ran the aging by customer and there were three GCs sitting at 90+ days that we kept selling to. Set hard escalation triggers — two paid up, one we walked away from. DSO down 19 days that quarter.
Aaron W. · Owner · $9M commercial electrical contractor · MA
Paying field crews every Friday but collecting 60–90 days out. Nobody had done the math on what that float was actually costing. Cut 22 days off DSO, killed the factoring contract, saved roughly $180K a year in fees. Wish I'd done this 5 years ago.
Brendan F. · President · $13M commercial roofing · CO
I thought 91% collection rate was great. Sam showed me peers were running 96% and explained the gap was costing me ~$260K a year at our revenue. Built a weekly AR cadence, hit 97% in four months. Numbers don't lie when somebody actually pulls them.
