What You're Really Paying For

If you run a $2M–$50M construction, trades, or manufacturing business, you're already paying for financial help. Here's what it usually buys you — and what it leaves on the table.

In-house bookkeeper

Keeps the books and records what already happened.

$45K–$65K / year

General CPA

Files the tax return and answers questions once a year.

Reactive, once a year

Nobody owns what's next

No one protects your margin, forecasts your cash, or flags which jobs make money.

The blind spot

The usual upgrade is a fractional CFO — $4,000 to $20,000 a month, and most firms handle strategy only. Your bookkeeping and taxes stay with separate vendors, and you're still the one holding all three pieces together.

We built FGP differently: tax, accounting, and CFO-level strategic finance as one integrated system. One team. One financial picture. One relationship.

Before You Look at Pricing

What Standing Still Actually Costs

Most owners don't lose money on one big mistake. They lose it in small leaks they can't see — a thin bid here, a cash surprise there, tax they never had to pay. Here's the trade you're really weighing.

If Nothing ChangesThe Cost of Standing Still

You find out a job lost money after it's finished — then bid the next one just as thin.
Cash gets tight mid-project because no one is tracking your over- and under-billings.
You overpay tax on decisions that were already locked in by the time your CPA sees them.
You're the only one connecting the bookkeeper, the CPA, and the bank. That's your time, every week.
The big calls — hiring, equipment, the next bond — get made on gut instead of numbers.

Working With FGPWhat You Get Instead

You know which jobs make money before you sign the next contract.
Cash is forecast weeks ahead — payroll and the next draw are never a surprise.
Tax is planned across the whole year, not reconciled after it's too late to change anything.
One team owns your books, your tax, and your strategy. You stop being the glue.
Every major decision is backed by numbers you trust — and made faster.

The distance between these two columns is what you're already paying for — quietly, every month.

What you're really buying below is the thing every owner is after: the feeling of being in control of your own business. The packages below close the gap.
