Systems that match how you actually operate
Your core systems should reflect how work moves through your business, from estimate or order through operations, billing, and accounting.

Financial Systems for Heavy Civil Contractors & Construction Materials Producers
For contractors and producers running multiple projects, plants, locations, or entities. HBS builds the systems and processes that carry operational activity into accounting, so the numbers still hold up when they reach the financials.

WHY HBS
Understanding the business from operations to financials
Holden Business Solutions is led by Joe Carnes, whose background spans operations, finance, and technology in the industries HBS serves. He spent more than a decade at Standard Sand & Silica, a multi-location sand and gravel producer, serving as Controller and CFO before later leading technology as IT Director and CIO. That experience gave him firsthand responsibility for how plant activity, business systems, accounting, and reporting fit together across as many as seventeen entities.
He also spent four years in civil construction finance and project controls, working across estimating, forecasting, job cost, project accounting, and project performance.
That breadth is the difference. HBS looks beyond any one system or department to understand how work moves through the business, where information breaks down, and what needs to change so operations and financials stay aligned.
WHAT WE DO
Your operations and your accounting should agree
HBS works at the point where operational activity becomes financial information.
One reliable flow of information
Connect the systems where the work happens to the systems where it gets recorded, so nobody keys the same information twice.
Less manual work, fewer errors
Replace repetitive entry, spreadsheet workarounds, and fragile handoffs with processes that run the same way every time.
Cost and margin you can trust
Job cost, product and customer profitability, and reporting you don't have to rebuild in a spreadsheet.
Stop rebuilding the numbers.
Start trusting them.
Most HBS engagements start with a focused look at the systems, data, and handoffs behind the numbers. We’ll use the 15-minute call to understand where things are breaking down and whether HBS is the right fit.
