Profit is a rear-view mirror. Cash is the windscreen. By the time a loss reaches the P&L, the cash may have been bleeding out for months — and on a contracting job, it usually has.
The problem we solve
A contractor can show healthy certified revenue and healthy headline profit while cash quietly drains away — into uncertified work-in-progress, slow-paying interim payment certificates, and retention locked up long after handover. Reported profit doesn’t move. Cash does. As your Virtual CFO, APM installs the weekly rhythm that makes those movements visible before they become a crisis.
What’s included
- Cash-flow forecasting — a rolling, project-by-project forecast that warns you before cash tightens.
- Project-wise profitability & MIS — margin and cash by project, including uncertified WIP and IPC collection days.
- Crisis management in downturns — a plan that protects payroll and the bank relationship at once.
- Receivables & retention recovery — structured pursuit of slow certificates and forgotten retention.
Profit is a rear-view mirror. Cash is the windscreen.
The three numbers we watch weekly
- Uncertified WIP — work you’ve funded that the Engineer hasn’t certified under Clause 14.6.
- IPC collection days — certification is not cash; we track how fast certificates actually pay.
- Retention exposure — capped against net assets, then pursued for release at Taking-Over and DNP expiry.
