How Construction & Trades use Advisorli

Construction is a working-capital business disguised as a margin business. Headline gross profit can look healthy at 25–30%, but the gap between paying subcontractors weekly and receiving progress claims monthly (or later) is where most builders run aground. Half of all construction insolvencies in Australia and the UK are working-capital failures, not profit failures.

The 13-week cash flow forecast in Advisorli is built for exactly this rhythm. Active jobs are mapped to expected progress claims; subcontractor and supplier payments are scheduled against the same horizon; and the closing balance is rebased every week against actual bank position. Builders see, by week, whether the next claim cycle will tip them into the overdraft, three months before it happens.

Per-job profitability is the second priority. Standard accounting groups all jobs into one P&L and hides the loss-making site that the foreman knows about but the principal does not. By tagging revenue and direct costs against project codes from your accounting software, Advisorli surfaces gross profit per job and trend by job type so you stop quoting the same loss-making work twice.

For finance applications, equipment leases, and director-guarantee renewals, the Loan Pack generates a lender-ready document set: 12-month P&L, balance sheet, debt service coverage ratio, fixed asset schedule, and a forward 13-week cash flow, exactly what brokers and bank credit teams ask for.
