For General Contractor CFOs

GC finance lives at the intersection of construction reality and banking truth. AOS gives the CFO a live WIP, a live cash forecast, and a live covenant readout — built off the same record the PM team uses every day.

Your reality today

WIP is a Monday spreadsheet, and your bank knows it.

GC finance has three masters: the bank, the bonding company, and reality. Your job is to keep all three telling the same story — usually with Excel, PDFs from PMs, and a senior staff accountant's weekend.

WIP and percent complete by hand.

Your accountant pulls cost-to-date from the GL, billings-to-date from the PM platform, and budget revisions from the estimator's email. The WIP schedule is born on Monday and obsolete by Wednesday.

Cash forecast is a vibe check.

30/60/90 cash assumes the pay apps you billed will collect on time. You know they won't. Your forecast is the gut estimate of which clients pay slow and which subs hold.

Bonding capacity surfaces at award.

You find out a contract pushes you over your single-job limit when the bond agent calls you back. Your bonding line is a number you remember, not a live system.

Covenants are a quarterly fire drill.

DSCR, current ratio, tangible net worth — calculated quarter-end on whatever made it into the books. When a covenant tightens, your bank knows before you do.

What AOS does for you

GC finance on one live record — cost, billings, cash, bank.

AOS gives finance the same cost-and-billings record the PM team uses. WIP is live. Cash forecast is live. Bonding capacity updates with every award. Covenants are forward-looking, not retroactive.

WIP

Live WIP schedule

Cost-to-date, billings-to-date, percent complete, over/under — live on every active project. Roll-up by entity, sector, PM. Your auditor's preferred format, one button.

Cash

30/60/90 cash forecast

Forecasted receipts from open pay apps weighted by client payment history. Forecasted disbursements from sub pay apps + recurring AP. Net cash position by week.

Billings

Billings vs. cost variance

The underbilled-by-PM signal that costs you working capital. Surfaced live, not at month-end. Pay apps drafted off cost, not the other way around.

Bonding

Bonding capacity live

Aggregate and single-job limits tracked against signed contracts and bid backlog. Pre-clearance for the next award before you commit pre-con resources.

Covenants

Banking covenant monitoring

DSCR, current ratio, tangible net worth — calculated live off the GL. Forward-looking headroom. Pre-month-end alerts when something is tightening.

AP/AR

AP/AR aging + collections

Live AR aging by client, with collection cadence learned from your own history. AP aging by sub, with discount-capture vs. retention-hold logic.
