1LINE · Financial Leadership & Advisory
Clarity for the decisions that move business forward.
One clear line from your numbers to your next decision — fractional CFO leadership and business intelligence for owner-led companies.
A working session, not a sales pitch.

1
version of the truth
The one-line principle

Five focused practices, one firm, one version of the truth.

Financial strategy and decision support, without a full-time CFO hire.

The financial foundations for contractors, put in place before growth exposes the gaps.
Intelligence
Dashboards that turn data into decisions
Job cost, WIP, and cash in a few reports owners actually read.
Academy
Practical finance education — free first
Articles, guides, and templates on construction finance and leadership.
Capital
Financing and bonding readiness
Be ready when a lender, surety, or buyer judges the business.
Why 1LINE is different
We sell the cadence, not the report
Reports describe the past. A cadence changes the future: the same short review, on the same day, ending in priced, owned actions.
01
A named CFO, not a diffuse team
Led by founder Jake Schreiber, a practicing construction CFO. Judgment is signed, not crowdsourced.
02
One version of the truth
Definitions documented once. If two reports disagree, that’s a defect — not a meeting topic.
03
Fit / no-fit honesty
If your real gap is bookkeeping, we’ll say so and point you there.
04
Free value first
Guides and tools are free — trust is earned by being useful before anyone signs anything.
“An electrical one-line diagram shows an entire system on a single line — source, path, and load, readable at a glance. A business deserves the same clarity.”
