Suiter Financial Systems

Consultants to the Construction Industry
For over twenty years, Vicki Suiter and Suiter Financial Systems has been providing business consulting and coaching to the small to mid-sized companies.  Most clients come to us when they are struggling with being able to sustainably grow their business, insufficient profits and / or cash flows and a lack of experience or expertise for how to make it different. Our work with clients provides solutions to these problems, and much more.

We help clients get clear on: how they got where they are now; clearly define where they want to go (with measures identified); and come up with a plan for how to get where they want to go.  We take a systematic approach in working with each client, yet always with a personal touch.  A thorough evaluation is done prior to beginning a project.  

Suiter Financial Systems processes include:

• Working with clients to identify what the ‘core issues’ are around why they are not making the profits they’d like, and/or what is causing low cash flows.
• Provide analysis that lets them see where the problem is and where specifically they need to focus to make a course correction.
• Work with them to create a financial and strategic plan for getting on track to reach their goals, and help to build more sustainably profitable businesses.
• Implement feedback systems for helping them stay on track and be able to ‘catch’ where they are off sooner, so they can make course corrections before it is too late and profits and cash flows drop.

As a result of our work together, staff and teams become aligned on common goals. By generating a clear concise pathway to success, individuals and teams experience a greater sense of satisfaction. This translates to increased profitability, reduced costs, and improved productivity.  

The contractors we work with see the value of having effective feedback in place.  Our clients appreciate our coaching – helping them to see the “bigger picture” and take effective action to keep on track with company goals and objectives.   To learn more about Vicki and our services visit: http://www.suiterfinancial.com/about.html#staff  

eSub, Breakthrough Project Management

eSUB, short for eSUBCONTRACTOR, provides online project management to protect the profits of Subcontractors. What makes our system uniquely qualified to do this? Simply put, it’s the input from thousands of Subcontractors in dozens of trades that assisted in building a tool to proactively track changes throughout the course of the project so you can get paid. With GCs adopting online project management tools to protect their own interests, they can shoot down changes to the Subcontractor faster than ever. 

The only way for Subcontractors to survive and thrive in this market is for them to initiate documentation to track changes and delays at the time they occur, instead of simply performing the work and then trying to figure out how to get paid. We’ve worked with Subcontractors for almost 20 years in developing documentation and project management procedures. When we say our product was designed by "Subcontractors for Subcontractors" we mean it.

The Journey

When your company is ready to come on board, eSUB partners with you to make sure your people make a smooth transition into a new way of managing projects and increasing profits. We know that a system — no matter how powerful — is only as good as the people who are using it. That’s why we don’t charge for support and we welcome your suggestions. It’s you — our Users — who have created the best online project management system for Subcontractors. We’re just here to take your suggestions and assist in your success.
