The tools · Financial Management
The Six Tools
One live ledger from award to closeout. Each tool writes to the same record — no re-entry, no reconciliations, no Friday exports.
The controlling baseline.
A cost-coded budget with a locked baseline and continuous forecast. Commitments, changes and billing validate against it from award to closeout.
The instrument of record.
Schedule of values, retainage terms and executed documents maintained on the contract itself, under one controlled revision history — visible to every authorized seat.
Commitment control.
Subcontracts and purchase orders commit against their cost codes at execution. Buyout coverage is reported line by line — committed, carried, and open scope.
Managed change.
Changes are priced, routed through the project's approval chain, and executed with native signature. Contract value, budget and schedule update in the same write.
Verified billing.
Progress billing against field-verified percent complete. Retainage is inherited from the contract, and G702/G703 pay applications roll up from subcontractor to prime.
Funding, documented.
Pay applications assemble into draw packages with lien waivers and supporting documents attached — submitted reconciled, tracked to funding, QuickBooks-ready.
