The Paperwork Paradox
The contractors we know like to spend their time building things and don’t really enjoy paperwork, but the construction industry burdens contractors with a tremendous amount of business administration. Contractors find themselves with the headache of finding time to pay bills, invoice customers as well as administer insurance coverage, lien releases, preliminary notices and the requirements of the Contractors State License Board.
Rather than focusing on doing the work and finding new business, general contractors and subcontractors are diverting their valuable time to administrative tasks or worse, leaving themselves vulnerable because appropriate systems and protections are not in place.
Enter Clairitee Consultants
We started Clairitee Consultants because we saw the need for outsourced, specialized and competent administrative support for construction contractors. We are a pair of business entrepreneurs who are not only well versed with the unique and broad spectrum of skills needed to run successful small businesses but also with specific expertise in construction, accounting software and strategic business development.
For less than the cost of an independent bookkeeper, Clairitee Consultants offers a suite of business administrative and development services. Our team is at your disposal; you choose the level of support you and your business needs – now and in the future. As your business grows, Clairitee can grow with you.
The Clairitee Commitment: Do it better, do it right
Clairitee’s mission is to provide you, the construction contractor, with systems and services to make your business more efficient and profitable. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and value long term business relationships over short-term gains. We will always be respectful of your time and your money.
