THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Construction accounting is different

Generic accounting isn't enough.

Most accountants don't understand construction. The ones who do know that the real work happens between the field and the balance sheet — and that's exactly where we live.

JOB COSTING

You don't know which jobs are actually making money

Revenue looks fine. But without job-level cost tracking integrated to your field data, you're managing the business from a rearview mirror. By the time you know a job went wrong, it's already closed.

WIP & BONDING

Your WIP isn't believable to your surety

Most bond conversations don't break down because of losses. They break down because the WIP isn't believable. Monthly, PM-driven WIP reporting changes the entire underwriting conversation — and your bonding capacity.

CASH FLOW

Revenue is growing but cash is tighter than ever

Growth in construction ties up cash in receivables, underbillings, and retainage. Without the financial infrastructure to manage it, more revenue means more pressure — not more freedom. Cash flow mapped to your backlog changes this.

SERVICE TIERS

Three levels of service.

One firm that knows construction.

These tiers represent our typical engagement structures — every client is different. We offer fully tailored engagements and à la carte services for contractors whose needs don't fit neatly into a single tier. The best starting point is a conversation.

WHAT CONTRACTORS ARE SAYING

Real results. Real contractors.

JOB COSTING

I finally know which jobs are actually making money. Before Marawood, I was guessing. The job costing alone was worth every dollar.

Derek

Mechanical Subcontractor, Calgary

WIP & BONDING

We were getting pushback from our surety every single renewal. Three months after switching to Marawood, our WIP was clean and presentable — and our bonding limit went up.

Jonathan

General Contractor, Edmonton

CASH FLOW

Revenue was growing but cash was always tighter than it should have been. They mapped our cash flow to our backlog and it completely changed how we run the business.

"Your financials aren't just data —
they are a marketing tool.
When you provide clean, integrated job costing and real-time WIP,
you aren't just filing paperwork.
You are selling your company's stability."
