ENGAGEMENT 02 · GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR

Five things we did. One running total.

~$48M REVENUE · 35+ EMPLOYEES · GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR + PROJECT-BASED WORK · CLIENT SINCE 2024

A contractor who couldn't pay vendors on day one, given financial clarity, a fixed contract mix, and a credit line that finally matched the business. The tally at the top of your screen starts at zero. Every entry below posts to it as you read.

THE WORK, IN ORDER

What we actually did.

IMPACT 01WEEKS 2–6

The line of credit stopped being the ceiling.

A competitive bid process for financing tripled the credit line to match actual business growth.

maxed out, couldn't pay vendors→300% more credit capacity
▲ +$1.20MCASH (ONE-TIME)
IMPACT 02WEEKS 8–16

Contract mix got fixed, not just tracked.

Digging into contract structures to find where margins needed fixing lifted gross margins 35%.

accepting whatever margin a contract offered→gross margins up 35%
▲ +$900KPROFIT / YR
IMPACT 03WEEKS 16–24

Pre-payment terms became a weapon, not a risk.

Modeled the true cost of pre-payments so the team could strategically accept them and win bigger bids.

pre-payment terms avoided out of fear→won more, bigger bids with confidence
▲ +$411KPROFIT / YR
IMPACT 04WEEKS 6–20

KPI dashboards replaced hallway guesses.

FinanceOS connected operations and leadership to the same real-time numbers.

leadership blind to day-to-day position→one shared financial picture
▲ +$543KCASH (ONE-TIME)
IMPACT 05ONGOING

And profits more than doubled over two years — with the same team watching it.

Bigger contracts, more stable business, still under the same oversight that got them there.

profits and funding stretched thin→profits doubled, credit tripled
▲ +$250KCOMPOUNDING / YR
THE TALLY, CLOSED OUT
+$3.30M
TOTAL IMPACT · 5 ENTRIES · PROFIT, CASH, AND COMPOUNDING WINS

Some of it recurs every year. Some of it landed once and changed what the bank and the balance sheet look like. All of it came from the same place: a connected system, and someone senior running it.
