Hi, I’m Eric Hempler
Field notes from an operator. I help contractors know job profitability weekly, scale without margin fade, and delegate financial management with confidence.
Why contractors hire me
Most owners already know they should track job costs, WIP, and cash timing. The gap is consistency. I install the guardrails that make the right work happen every week—so your PMs steer in‑flight, not after closeout.
- Weekly job profitability—labor, materials, subs, committed costs
- Cash stability—billing/vendor cadence mapped to reality
- Owner out of the weeds—coding standards, WIP cadence, close routine
Focus Contractors and real‑estate operators.
How I work
- Foundation Diagnostic — identify where visibility breaks and what to fix first
- 30‑Day Foundation Fix — job‑cost structure, WIP dashboard, close routine, cash mapping
- Monthly Guardrails — oversight so the system sticks while you scale
You get decisions and cadence—not another spreadsheet burden.
What I won’t do
- Sell you a “report” without a plan to use it weekly
- Over‑engineer KPIs you won’t maintain
- Promise tax tricks—I’m here to protect margin and cash while you grow
I’m pragmatic and implementation‑first. Simple beats complex—every time.
Background
I’ve worked across finance and operations, building systems that owners actually use. My bias is toward clarity and cadence: make the numbers trustworthy, then use them to make calls on hires, equipment, and big bids.
If you want the long version, grab time and we’ll talk through your specific situation.
Signals we’re a fit
- Multiple active jobs; PMs need tighter cash/margin guardrails
- Leadership values decisions over decks

Stop rolling the dice on growth calls. Get the cash view first—then move with confidence.
