The Construction CFO installs ControlQore and then runs it for you.
A fractional CFO firm for construction subcontractors, founded by Josh Luebker and Stewart Bohrer. They migrate the books, build the cost codes, and own the monthly close on ControlQore so your office does not have to.
The Construction CFO is a fractional CFO and construction accounting firm that uses ControlQore as the platform for its client engagements. The firm includes ControlQore in its service tiers at no separate software cost to the client, installed and operated by the same people who read the reports.
ControlQore migrations average 60 days from signed to fully operational, scaling with company size and complexity — including contractors as large as $50M. The Construction CFO runs its own install on that same 60-day timeline: books migrated, job cost codes built to match your estimate structure, the corporate card program configured, and lien waiver workflows in place before the engagement goes live.

What they install, and what we provide
The split is simple. We are the platform of record. They are the accounting and CFO function that operates it.
They migrate the books:- Your history comes across so prior-year comparisons still work, rather than starting from a blank ledger mid-year.
They build cost codes to your estimates:- Job costing only tells you the truth if the code structure matches how you bid. They set that up rather than shipping you a generic chart of accounts.
We provide the cards and the rails:- ControlQore Visa for field spending and CQ Pay for outbound payments, configured during their install.
They own the monthly close:- Close, job cost review, and WIP reporting are theirs to run inside the platform. You get the read-out, not the homework.
Why it works
The firm reading your WIP built it in the first place
Most contractors end up with a gap: the software vendor points at the accountant, the accountant points at the software, and the WIP is still wrong. When the same firm configures the cost codes and then reports off them, that gap closes.
They chose ControlQore as the platform for client engagements because it was built closest to how subcontractors actually operate — job costing by phase and cost code, lien waivers native to payments, and WIP that does not need a spreadsheet to interpret.
