The Details
01
We didn't learn accounting from a textbook. Andrew and Paul spent years on the buy-side — acquiring businesses, running due diligence, and sitting in board rooms. They know exactly what buyers, lenders, and investors look for in a company's financials. That perspective shapes everything we build for our clients. Your books aren't just clean — they're built to the standard that serious capital partners expect.
02
Most accounting firms serve everyone. We don't. Every service, every process, every report we build is designed for how trades and contracting businesses actually work — job costing, crew-level tracking, seasonal cash flow, progress billing, certified payroll. We're not retrofitting a tech startup model onto your roofing company. This is all we do, and it shows.
03
You don't need another bookkeeper. You need a bookkeeper, a controller, a reporting layer, and strategic oversight — all working together. Fervent gives you the entire finance function without the overhead of building it in-house. Start with what you need, expand when you're ready. One team, one relationship, complete visibility into your numbers.
04
We explain your finances the way you'd explain a job to a customer — clearly, directly, and without jargon. If you don't understand a report, that's our problem, not yours. We believe clarity is the product. If we can't explain it simply, we don't understand it well enough ourselves.
Not sure what you need? That's fine — we'll figure it out together. Your first call isn't a sales pitch. It's a conversation.
