Owners usually hire when they feel busy. The better test is whether the role pays for itself inside a defined window.

Run the math before you post the job:

Fully loaded cost, not salary. Add CPP, EI, WSIB, vacation, benefits, equipment and the time it takes to train them.
The revenue or capacity the role has to produce to cover that.
How many months of runway you have if it takes longer than expected.

A good hire pays for itself. A premature one eats the cushion that would have let you make a good hire three months later.

If you are about to add someone and have not run those numbers, that is a twenty minute conversation worth having first.

Ten percent of every progress draw sits in holdback, sometimes for a year after the work is done. On a $2M year that is $200,000 of your money parked somewhere else.

Most contractors book it as revenue, spend against it, and then wonder why the bank account never matches the income statement.

What we set up:

Holdback tracked separately so you always know what is owed and when it releases
A cash forecast that assumes holdback is not available until it actually lands
Follow up on releases that have aged past the contract terms

Ontario’s Construction Act is specific about release timelines. Most of the money that sits too long sits because nobody chased it.

Most owners can tell you what they made last month. Far fewer can tell you what they had to make to not lose money.

That number is your breakeven, and it moves. Add a truck, a tech, a lease, a software subscription, and it climbs without anyone announcing it.

Knowing it changes how you run the place. You stop guessing whether a slow month is a problem or just a slow month. You know which week of the month you cross into profit. You can look at a quote and know whether it is worth doing.

If you cannot say your breakeven number from memory, that is the first thing we would work out with you.

Slow months are uncomfortable. Growth is where businesses actually get hurt.

You hire ahead of the revenue. You take deposits on jobs that will not finish for months. Materials get bought for three projects at once. Every new customer costs cash before they ever pay you a dollar.

The businesses that survive a growth year are the ones that saw it coming: a cash forecast that goes out twelve weeks, a line of credit arranged before it was needed, and someone watching the gap between what is booked and what is banked.

If next year is going to be bigger than this one, the time to build that system is now, not in the middle of it.

If your corporate year end is December 31, you have about eleven weeks left to change the result. After that, everything is just reporting.

Things that only work before year end:

Deciding whether a bonus, a salary top up or a dividend makes sense this year
Timing an equipment or vehicle purchase so it lands on the right side of the date
Cleaning up shareholder loans before they become a problem
Knowing your instalments are right so there is no surprise in April

Most owners meet their accountant in the spring to talk about a year that is already over. A CFO meets you now, while there is still time to do something about it.

If you have not looked at where this year is landing, October is the month to do it.

Happy Thanksgiving to the owners who built something, the crews who show up, and the families who put up with the hours.

We are grateful to work with people who make real things: homes, clinics, stores, and the businesses that hold a community together.

Enjoy the long weekend. The numbers will still be there Tuesday.

A lot of owners take whatever is left at the end of the month. Some months that is a lot. Some months it is nothing. Then they wonder why they cannot get a mortgage or why the business feels like it owns them.

Owner pay belongs in the budget the same way rent does. Fixed, planned, and paid on a schedule. How you pay yourself also matters. Salary and dividends are taxed differently, and the right mix depends on your income, your family, and what the corporation needs to keep.

That is a conversation to have with someone who sees the whole picture, not a decision to make in December when the year is already over.

If you have not had that conversation, we should probably have it before year end.

Three doors, then six, then twelve. Somewhere in there the spreadsheet stops working and the owner stops knowing which property is actually making money.

What we set up for real estate investors:

A profit and loss for every property, not one blended total
A repairs and capital reserve that gets funded every month, before the profit gets counted
A clear picture of how each property is held and what that means at tax time
A plan for the next purchase that starts with the numbers, not with the listing

Real estate builds wealth slowly and loses it quickly when the bookkeeping falls behind. If you own more than a couple of units and still run it out of a personal chequing account, let's talk before the next closing.
