Run Your Construction Business with Clarity and Confidence

We help construction companies make more on every job and keep cash steady year-round.

We Specialize in Builders

An accounting firm built for construction

  • General Contractors

  • Builders & Remodelers

  • Subcontractors

  • Real Estate Development Firms

Construction accounting is different. Job costing, WIP, retainage, and cash timing require specialized expertise which we handle every day.

  • You’re busy but cash still feels tight

  • You’re not sure which jobs actually made money

  • Payroll keeps climbing, but margins feel unclear

  • Projects span months, and the numbers don’t always line up

  • Hiring feels like a gamble

  • Tax season shows up with surprises

Why Builders Choose Odyssey?

Most accountants report what already happened. We help construction companies understand what’s happening now, and what’s coming next.

At the $1M–$10M stage, complexity increases. Jobs get bigger. Payroll grows. Cash feels tighter. This is where financial structure matters.

1. Construction Isn’t Generic

Job costing. Labor burden. WIP. Backlog. Retainage.

If your accounting isn’t built around how construction actually works, your numbers don’t tell the full story.

We build your financial structure around your projects, not just your chart of accounts.

2. We Bring Structure, Not Just Reports

Clean books are the starting point. But what you really need to know is:

  1. Which jobs actually make money

  2. Where cash stands

  3. When you can afford to hire

  4. What you can consistently pay yourself

We implement the systems behind the numbers so you can make decisions without guessing.

3. CPA-Led. Built for Builders.

Odyssey is CPA-led and construction-focused.

We work specifically with builders in the $1M–$10M range, businesses that are too complex to “wing it,” but not ready for a full-time CFO.

You get financial clarity, cash confidence, and practical guidance without adding full-time overhead.

Built for Builders Who Want Clarity


Odyssey was founded with one goal - to help business owners understand their numbers and run stronger companies.

Steve (our founder) grew up around small businesses. From a family lumber company to self-employed trades and operators, he saw firsthand what it takes to carry payroll, manage risk, and keep projects moving.

Before launching Odyssey in 2022, Steve worked at Ernst & Young, earned his CPA license, and advised companies ranging from startups to billion-dollar enterprises.

Today, Steve & the team at Odyssey focus specifically on builders and remodelers in the $1M–$10M range.

We understand job costing.
We understand WIP.
We understand how cash moves through construction projects.

Most importantly, we understand that your business should reward your hard work, not create constant financial stress.

Our role is simple: Bring structure to your numbers so you can run your business with clarity and confidence.

Steve Heintzelman, CPA

Founder / Owner

“My company teamed up with Odyssey 2 years ago and it's one of the best moves we've made in our many years in business. Steve's insight, energy, and attention to detail have allowed me to get a better handle on my numbers and the results have been super positive on the bottom line! I'm very glad that I chose to bring Odyssey onto the team, only regret is I wish we did it earlier!”
