“I engaged PHG’s Fractional CFO group to organize my financials and data in preparation for a potential sale. Their team expertly positioned my business to maximize its value. When the time was right, PHG’s Buyside M&A Team connected me with an excellent partner and secured a fantastic deal, saving me from paying a sell-side broker fee. PHG provided guidance and support from start to finish, and I would strongly recommend that any strategic-minded business owner consider speaking with them.”

Case Study

How We Helped a $15M Business Improve Margins Through Compensation Redesign

Service​ :  Fractional CFO

The Challenge

The business was selling too many lower-margin jobs, limiting overall profitability and putting pressure on performance.

What We Did

We restructured the commission plan so higher gross profit jobs earned higher payouts, while also reducing base salaries to create stronger performance incentives.

The Outcome

Gross profit increased by 5%, and jobs sold below 35% gross profit decreased by 30%.

Key Takeaway

A well-designed commission structure can drive better sales decisions and stronger financial results

How We Helped a $30M Business Protect Profitability During a Down Year

Service : Fractional CFO

The Challenge

The company entered 2025 expecting 25% revenue growth, but instead experienced a 15% decline, creating an urgent need to reduce costs and protect profitability.

What We Did

We compared the company’s financials to industry benchmarks and built a bottoms-up budget to identify cost-saving opportunities. This revealed more than $1M in redundancies that could be eliminated, along with another $500K in fixed costs that could be shifted to subcontractors as variable costs.

The Outcome

The company remained profitable despite a down year and was better positioned to respond quickly when growth returns.

Key Takeaway

A disciplined cost structure helps businesses stay profitable during downturns while preserving flexibility for future growth.

How We Helped a $35M Business Reduce Payment Processing Costs

Service : Fractional CFO

The Challenge

The company was processing more than 1,500 annual credit card payments, resulting in significant transaction fees that reduced overall profitability.

What We Did

We negotiated with the vendor to reduce credit card processing fees and lower the company’s annual payment-related costs.

The Outcome

The business realized nearly $100K in annualized fee savings.

Key Takeaway

Even small improvements in vendor terms can create meaningful savings at scale.

How We Helped a $10M+ Business Build a Stronger Financial Foundation

Service : Bookkeeping

The Challenge

The company had not filed taxes in three years, was still operating on a cash basis, and lacked reliable financial visibility to support better decision-making.

What We Did

We cleaned up the financials, transitioned the business from cash to accrual accounting, and began reviewing job costing data to identify gross profit opportunities tied to errors in the estimating template.

The Outcome

The company established a more accurate financial foundation, improved visibility into job performance, and uncovered opportunities to strengthen gross profit.

Key Takeaway

Clean financials and accurate job costing give businesses the insight they need to improve profitability and plan with confidence.

How We Helped a $25M+ Business Rebuild Financial Clarity After a Failed Acquisition

Service : Bookkeeping

The Challenge

The company believed it was generating $11M in EBITDA during an acquisition process, but the true figure was closer to $6M. When that gap came to light, an $80M acquisition offer fell through. The business needed a deeper financial cleanup to understand performance and recover lost value.

What We Did

We led a multi-year financial cleanup that uncovered more than $1M in cost-reduction opportunities, identified misbilling from material vendors, and found received checks that had not been cashed.

The Outcome

The company gained a more accurate view of financial performance, uncovered meaningful cash and cost savings, and created a stronger foundation for future growth or transaction readiness.

Key Takeaway

Clean, accurate financials are critical to protecting business value and avoiding costly surprises during a transaction.

How We Helped a Business Correct Financials That Showed a False Loss

Service : Bookkeeping

The Challenge

A multi-location HVAC contractor believed it was heading toward bankruptcy after its financials appeared to show negative $1 million in EBITDA, despite recently winning and starting several large jobs. The books were not accurately reflecting business performance.

What We Did

We performed a deep review of the financials and found the company was actually generating closer to $2.1 million in EBITDA. We identified that several large material prepayments had been recorded before the related revenue was recognized, distorting profitability. From there, we led a multi-year cleanup to transition the business to full accrual accounting, supported by a monthly over/under billed adjustment process.

The Outcome

The company gained a far more accurate view of financial performance and discovered the business was much healthier than it appeared. With cleaner reporting and a stronger accounting foundation, leadership could make decisions based on reality rather than misleading financials.

Key Takeaway

In project-based businesses, inaccurate revenue recognition can make a profitable company look distressed. Clean accrual-based reporting creates the clarity needed to manage confidently and plan for growth.
