I'm Alberto Berrio, and I've dedicated my career to solving the unique financial challenges contractors face every day.
Most accountants treat construction like any other business. But you and I both know—it's not. Between managing retainage, tracking job costs, handling change orders, and ensuring cash flow stays positive, construction accounting is a completely different beast.
That's why I built Contractor Commander. Not just to keep your books clean, but to give you the financial clarity you need to bid confidently, manage cash flow proactively, and grow your business without the financial fog.

You win the bids. You run the crews. You get the checks. But at the end of the month, the bank account doesn't reflect the hard work.
Most contractors suffer from "Financial Fog":
Guessing on estimates because you don't know your true historical job costs.
Scrambling at tax time instead of having clean books every single month.
Revenue is climbing, but you can't see which projects are actually bleeding cash until it's too late.
You don't need a generic bookkeeper to type numbers. You need a Construction Accounting System.
