THE 60-SECOND TEST
Can you answer these without asking anyone?
Which jobs made money last month, and which didn't?
How much work is done but not yet billed?
How much retention is still outstanding?
What will your cash look like six weeks from now?
If any answer starts with “let me check,” start with a free Leak Check.
THE CHALLENGE
Growth doesn’t fix operational problems. It multiplies them.
When you’re bidding the next job, chasing the last invoice, and answering every call from the field, there’s no time left to fix how the business runs, so the same problems keep coming back. We find what’s causing them, then help you fix them.
01
Cash Leaks
Money you’ve earned but haven’t collected.
Late invoices, delayed billing, missed collections, and retention sitting outstanding longer than necessary.
02
Margin Leaks
Profit lost through preventable mistakes.
Missed change orders, unbilled extras, inconsistent cost coding, and project costs that aren’t captured correctly.
03
Visibility Gaps
Important decisions made without reliable information.
Disconnected systems and unreliable job-profitability information leave owners making decisions without a clear picture.
You can’t improve what you can’t see. And you can’t scale what you haven’t structured.
Why FoundLine
Stronger foundation. Better bottom line.
A business is a lot like a house. You can keep adding rooms, but if the foundation wasn’t built to carry the weight, cracks start to show, and they cost more to fix the bigger the house gets. Growth works the same way. Your foundation is your people, processes, and technology: how work gets estimated, tracked, billed, and collected. When that’s solid, growth shows up where it should, on the bottom line. That’s the idea behind our name: get the foundation right, so the next big job adds to your profit, not to your plate.
How it works
Process first. Profit follows.
Every dollar you earn travels the same path, from the bid to the bank. We look at all eight stages, find where yours leaks, and fix them in the right order.
01
Win the Work
Estimating and pricing
02
Contracts & Commitments
Scope, terms, and responsibilities

05

06

08
Systemize
Connected tools and repeatable workflows
We start with what you already have. Sometimes the fix is better setup; sometimes it’s new software. Either way, the recommendation fits your business.

You’d rather spend your time growing the business than holding the back office together.
Big-company discipline, sized for your business.
FoundLine was founded by Matt Mazzuca, a CPA who started his career as an auditor at KPMG, seeing firsthand where financial records break down and why. He then spent ten years at Workday as the Director of Solution Architecture, designing the finance and operations systems large organizations run on. FoundLine brings that same rigor to growing contractors: processes that hold up, numbers you can trust, and software set up to do its job, built for a business where the owner is still in the middle of everything.

PROVEN IN PRACTICE
Real improvements. Not just recommendations.
A fast-growing Northern California general contractor.
Before
The owner was involved in every decision, so growth was capped by the hours in his day. He couldn’t see whether a job made money until it was finished, and sometimes not even then. The same information was typed into several systems by hand.
What changed
We found where the owner’s time mattered most and handed off the rest. We chose and set up project management software, connected it to accounting, and lined up the cost codes so everything works as one system. Then we trained the team on every change.
Result
The owner now spends his time growing the business instead of running the back office. He sees each job’s margin while the work is underway, not after it’s done. Double entry is gone.
WORKING TOGETHER
Better operations make everyone’s job easier.
We work alongside accounting firms, bookkeeping providers, and construction technology companies to strengthen the operational processes and systems behind their clients’ financial information.
Frequently asked questions.
Picture knowing which jobs made money without digging for it, invoices going out the week the work is done, and an office that runs without you answering every question.
It starts with understanding where your business stands today.
