Sound Familiar?
You finish jobs but aren't sure if you actually made money
Cash flow surprises keep hitting you — missed payroll, unexpected shortages
You don't know your true overhead cost per job
You're bidding based on gut feel, not real numbers
Profit fade is eating your margins and you can't see it happening
You know you need better numbers but don't want to become an accountant
If any of these hit home, you're exactly who we built BuildClarity for.
The Solution
A premium, mobile-first financial intelligence platform built exclusively for construction contractors. Track profit by job. See cash shortages before they happen. Get AI-powered insights in plain English.
See cash on hand, gross margin, net profit, jobs at risk, open receivables, and upcoming obligations — all in one dashboard with traffic-light health indicators.
Track every job with full visibility: contract value, labor, materials, subs, overhead allocation, profit fade, and net margin — the number that actually matters.
A rolling projection showing expected payments, payroll, vendor bills, tax obligations, and retainage — with early warnings before cash gets dangerously low.
Plain-English financial observations about your business. Not a chatbot — a proactive intelligence engine that surfaces problems and opportunities weekly.
Pre-built calculators that auto-populate with your real data: overhead recovery, labor burden, required markup, break-even revenue, and revenue per employee.
An executive-level weekly summary: cash position, revenue, AR, jobs losing money, labor efficiency, margin trends, and upcoming risks — reviewed in under 2 minutes.
Auto-generated for your bonding company and bank
Model decisions before you make them
Optimized for field use — works with work gloves

Who It's For
Built by Practitioners
BuildClarity was designed and built by LNH CPA PLLC — a firm that works exclusively with contractors. We see the same financial blind spots every week: jobs bleeding money without anyone noticing, cash shortages that could have been predicted, overhead that's never properly allocated.
We built the tool to fix them. This isn't generic business software adapted for construction — it's a financial intelligence platform built from the ground up by people who understand contractor finances inside and out.
