When you’re not ready to hire a CFO, become your own.
Construction accounting courses for ambitious contractors.
You know what it takes to build a lasting construction business.
But outsourcing all of your financial management needs may not be an appropriate investment for where your business is at.
Whether you’re just starting out or are hesitant to bring a CFO on board, accounting remains critical to building a successful business.
You want to do it right, and we’re here to help.
Introducing:
Be Your Own CFO
A series of construction accounting courses designed to help you gain clarity around your finances and make strategic decisions for the future.
After hosting a Pilot Program of our Complete Masterclass this spring, we’ve curated a new and improved way for contractors like you to expand your construction accounting toolbox.
Whether you’re a residential home builder, commercial general contractor, or somewhere in between, these courses house the financial expertise you need to build a stronger business – regardless of your size or years of experience.
If you’re struggling to manage disorganized financial systems, stressing over messy books and inaccurate reporting, or receiving constant pushback from third parties like bonding, then our Be Your Own CFO courses are for you.
Imagine If You Could…
- Gain a clear understanding of your company’s financial big picture.

- Understand how your jobs are performing.
- Identify and address repeated issues and inefficiencies.
- Better allocate resources.
- Set yourself up for growth in 2024.
But Don’t Take Our Word For It…
“When I look back at when I started my business in 2005, I knew nothing about business. I knew how to estimate and I knew how to build, but man, this would have been beneficial for me to know so many years ago.”

Meet Your Teacher
I’m Jessica Krause, founder and CEO of New Lyfe Accounting (NLA).
Growing up, I spent lots of time at the family sheet metal business where I gained a strong respect for the industry and its notoriously hard workers – my family and friends.
In 2006, I started my career in public accounting. I was fortunate to work with clients of all sizes and industries, including many within construction. In 2012, I was hired as a CFO for a Commercial Electrical Contractor based in Kansas City.
While in that position, I realized the need for a specialized accounting firm within the construction industry – one that understood the industry’s complexities, processes, and people.
From that discovery came NLA, a specialty firm that provides business owners like you with the tools to grow, profit, and prosper.
Working with an outsourced CFO isn’t always feasible, but that shouldn’t limit your access to expert financial tools. That’s why I created Be Your Own CFO.
With these courses, it’s my goal to make our expertise more accessible, providing you with the same strategies used by our leading construction clients.
If you’re ready to…
- Gain a better understanding of your industry
- Develop invaluable accounting skills you can apply to your business
- Realize, set, and achieve your biggest financial goals
…then these courses are for you.
I’ll see you inside!
