Paula Day Money Mentor

Paula Day | CPA | Elevate CFO

20 years in financial leadership. 18 years advising CEOs and Government officials on large-scale construction and infrastructure projects across Australia.

I started ElevateCFO for one reason: construction businesses doing $5M to $30M deserve the same level of financial thinking that billion-dollar projects get, without paying a full-time CFO salary.

If your jobs are coming in, your team is busy, but the bank account never seems to reflect it, you are not alone. Cash flow in construction is structurally hard. Progress claims, retentions, subcontractor costs, WIP, slow payment cycles that stretch 60 to 90 days. These are not bookkeeping problems. They are CFO problems.

This channel covers what your accountant does not: project profitability, cash flow forecasting, WIP management, owner pay in a project-based business, and the financial systems that let you scale without the stress.
