Fractional CFO Services
Fractional CFO Services for Winnipeg Construction & Trades Companies
Mastery Fractional CFO Services is based in Winnipeg and provides financial leadership to construction and trades businesses in Winnipeg and across Manitoba. We help owners understand job profitability, plan cash requirements, and evaluate decisions about pricing, staffing, equipment, financing, and growth.
Founded by Ryan Chenier, MBA, in 2019, Mastery gives you a fractional CFO backed by a team. We work alongside your bookkeeper, accountant, and operational leaders to connect what is happening on your projects with company-wide budgets, rolling forecasts, and the decisions ahead.
Connect Your Job Margins to Company Profitability
Your project reports and company financial statements should tell a connected story. A job may appear profitable while missing costs, revised estimates, or rising overhead leave the business earning less than expected.
Mastery connects job costing and margin analysis with work-in-progress reporting to help Winnipeg construction and trades owners understand those differences. We review estimated and actual costs, remaining commitments, progress billings, and costs to complete with your team, so changes in project performance inform the company outlook.
Budgeting and profit planning brings the whole business into view. We assess whether the gross profit from your expected workload can cover overhead and support your profit goals. That gives pricing, project selection, and spending decisions a clearer financial basis.
Plan Cash and Capacity Before Making the Next Commitment
The timing of construction work matters as much as the total value of your backlog. Project starts can shift, collections can arrive later than expected, and payroll, supplier payments, and debt obligations continue in the meantime.
Mastery uses cash flow forecasting to help Winnipeg and Manitoba construction and trades owners assess upcoming requirements against expected receipts. We connect project schedules, billing, collections, and operating costs, then update the forecast as your workload and assumptions change.
Growth and staffing analysis helps you evaluate the cost and expected contribution of another crew, manager, or support role. Equipment and financing analysis brings purchase, lease, and rental options into the same financial plan. Together, these reviews help you assess whether the business can support a commitment through both busy periods and slower months.
A Winnipeg-Based CFO Backed by the Mastery Team
Mastery is led by Winnipeg-based founder Ryan Chenier, MBA. You get a fractional CFO backed by the Mastery team, bringing financial leadership, analytical support, and additional perspectives to your business.
We work with clients through regular video meetings, shared financial reporting, and ongoing collaboration. For Winnipeg clients, in-person meetings can also be arranged. Together, we review results, update forecasts, and evaluate upcoming decisions, with a meeting schedule and communication approach suited to your business.
We work alongside your bookkeeper, accountant, and operational leaders. You do not need to replace your existing team; we help connect their information and expertise to a financial plan you can use.
Financial Leadership in Practice
For a Canadian custom home builder, Mastery added company-wide budgeting, rolling forecasts, dashboards, and financial analysis to complement the builder’s existing job-level controls.
Over the one-year period reported in the case study, revenue increased from $8.6 million to $12.5 million, and net profit increased from $452,000 to $1.11 million. The case study explains our work and the business decisions it supported.
