CASE STUDY: Transforming an Electrical Contracting Business for Sustainable Growth and a Profitable Exit

Writer's picture: ryanchenierryanchenier


When two ambitious entrepreneurs running an electrical contracting business approached Mastery Fractional CFO Services, they had a clear goal: incorporate, streamline, and scale their operations while securing a comfortable lifestyle.



THE CHALLENGE


Without in-house financial leadership, they struggled to make data-driven decisions and needed financial advisory services to guide them toward growth and profitability.



OUR APPROACH


Mastery CFO stepped in with a comprehensive plan:


👉 Accounting Systems: Established processes for accurate, timely reporting to bring clarity to their finances.


👉 FP&A (financial planning & analysis): Introduced forecasting and KPI (Key Performance Indicator) tracking to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement.


👉 Managerial Accounting: Implemented practices that provided insights into project profitability and operational efficiency.


👉 Operational Alignment: By aligning their operational metrics with financial results, we guided the company in making data-informed decisions, for optimal business performance.



RESULTS & SUCCESS


Over our engagement, this once-small business evolved into a well-managed, profitable company. Revenue increased by 220%, and gross profit by 230% between FYE 2022 and FYE 2024.



The story culminated in a successful exit, with a larger national firm acquiring the business at a valuation that reflected the strong financial foundation we built together.



KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS


👉 Align operations with financial insights: Proactively linking operations to financial results drives better decisions.


👉 FP&A is essential: Regular financial planning and KPI tracking are crucial for scaling.


👉 Prepare for the exit early: Building a solid financial foundation now maximizes valuation later.
