ReferenceReference
Everything written down.
No newsletter and no thought leadership. The reference material a contractor can use on a Tuesday afternoon, and nothing else.
In short
What reference material does Blackthorne Wicker publish?
There is a construction accounting glossary and a WIP calculator that works. There are four comparisons: against a CPA, a generalist CFO, and an in-house hire. There is a page for each of the six services and the eight trades. All of it is written for a contractor, not for another accountant.
The reference6

- 03Against a CPAOne looks backward and files. One looks forward and steers.
- 04Against a generalist CFOAdvice across every industry, or the mechanics of this one.
- 05Against an in-house hireA salary and a seat, or the whole money side on a day rate.
- 06Switching to usMid-year, mid-bond, mid-audit. None of it is a reason to wait.
What we do not publish
On purpose
There are no statistics on this site that we cannot point at a job for.
No client counts, no years in business, no percentages pulled off an industry survey. Three contractors let us print their numbers. Those three appear on almost every page. They are the only proof that belongs to us.
If you want the fourth, run your own WIP line and see what it says.
