From Spreadsheet Stress to Financial Clarity: How FINA Consulting Helps Contractors Get Paid Faster

At FINA Consulting Inc., we’ve worked with enough contractors to know this: you didn’t start your business to chase invoices, stress over spreadsheets, or worry about whether your books are right. You started it to do what you’re great at—deliver high-quality work, grow your reputation, and get paid fairly for your time.

But for many Florida contractors, financial stress is a daily reality. From inconsistent billing to outdated job tracking systems, cash flow issues can stack up fast. We’re here to help you change that.

The Problem: Disorganized Books and Unpaid Invoices

We’ve seen it all—a contractor using Excel to track payments from 15 clients at once, a general contractor who hasn’t reconciled a bank account in six months, and a roofing company trying to handle accounts payable after hours with a half-functional spreadsheet. None of these owners were lazy or careless. They were simply overwhelmed.

Contractors juggle a lot: job costing, materials ordering, client communication, subcontractor payments, insurance paperwork, and on top of all that—getting paid. When you’re already on the go, bookkeeping tends to fall to the bottom of the list. But the truth is, disorganized financials don’t just create stress—they delay payments and cost you real money.

The Real Cost of Spreadsheet Chaos

Without clean financial records, contractors often face:

• Delayed invoicing: Forgetting to invoice or sending it out late

• Untracked payments: Not knowing what’s paid vs. pending

• Undercharging or overcharging: Due to job costing errors

• Frustrated clients: Who expect clear, timely communication

• Missed tax write-offs: From lost receipts and uncategorized expenses

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Our Solution: Bookkeeping Built for Contractors

At FINA Consulting Inc., we specialize in helping service-based businesses, including contractors, take control of their finances through proactive, cloud-based bookkeeping solutions. We don’t just reconcile your books—we help you get paid faster, with less stress and more strategy.

Here’s how we help:

1. Cleanup & Setup Whether your books are six months or six years behind, we start by getting everything current. We clean up your financials, fix errors, and make sure your books are set up for clarity moving forward.

2. Job Costing Support We help you track income and expenses by project so you know which jobs are most profitable—and which ones aren’t worth the margin.

3. Invoicing & A/R Tracking You’ll never lose track of an invoice again. We help you implement invoicing systems that send reminders, automate follow-ups, and make payment simple for your clients.

4. Monthly Reporting We send you easy-to-understand reports that actually mean something—cash flow, profitability by job, and expense trends so you can make smart decisions fast.

5. Sales Tax & Compliance We keep you in good standing with Florida’s tax requirements, handling your monthly or quarterly filings and making sure your records are audit-ready.

Real Results: From Stress to Strategy

One of our contractor clients, a small but growing home renovation company in Tallahassee, came to us frustrated and falling behind. They hadn’t reconciled their accounts in over a year and had thousands of dollars in unpaid invoices sitting in a spreadsheet.

Within two months of working with FINA Consulting:

• All 12 months of bank and credit card statements were reconciled

• Outstanding invoices were collected or reissued

• Job costing was restructured to reflect true profitability

• The owner started receiving monthly reports and made strategic hiring decisions based on data, not guesswork

The best part? Their cash flow increased by 32% within the first quarter.
