Your CFO Shouldn't
Need a Spreadsheet to
Know Your Cash Position.

Real-time cash visibility across every project, every entity, and every role you play — GC and Sub. See your true net position, forecast cash flows with project-level granularity, and stop making decisions on data that's two weeks old.

The Problem

Your Cash Position Is More Complex Than Your Tools Can Handle

Construction companies operate across dozens of projects, multiple entities, and dual GC/Sub roles simultaneously. Your true cash position is a dynamic calculation that spreadsheets and generic accounting tools simply cannot keep up with.

Stale Data

Cash positions assembled from spreadsheets, Sage reports, and bank statements are already two weeks old by the time they reach the CFO's desk.

Retainage Blind Spot

Millions in retainage sit trapped across projects — held as a GC, owed as a Sub — but no tool shows you the net impact on your actual cash position.

Entity Silos

Multi-entity contractors run separate books for each entity. Consolidating across three, five, or ten entities for a true portfolio view is a monthly ordeal.

No Forward View

You know where cash is today (sort of), but forecasting when retainage releases, pay apps land, and subcontractor obligations come due? Pure guesswork.

How It Works

Every Cash Source, Unified in Real-Time

Metaprise continuously aggregates data from your projects, invoices, retainage positions, bank accounts, and payment schedules — so your cash view is always current, always complete.

1
Data Aggregation

Bank balances, AR aging, AP obligations, retainage held and owed, and scheduled payments — all pulled into one unified data layer.

2
Position Calculation

True cash position computed in real-time — factoring in available balance, committed outflows, expected inflows, and retainage net position across both GC and Sub roles.

3
Forecasting

AI-driven cash flow projections based on billing schedules, payment history, retainage release timelines, and contract milestones — 30, 60, and 90 days out.

4
Alerts & Action

Proactive alerts for cash shortfall risks, retainage release opportunities, and working capital thresholds — so you act before problems materialize.

Core Capabilities

Cash Intelligence Built for How Construction Companies Actually Operate

Not bank balance monitoring. Metaprise Cash Management understands the construction-specific variables that determine your real cash position — retainage, dual roles, project milestones, and multi-entity structures.

Net Position

Your True Cash Position as GC + Sub

When you're simultaneously holding $4M in retainage as a GC and waiting on $2.5M owed to you as a Sub, your net cash position isn't what your bank balance says. Metaprise calculates the real number — across every project, every role, in real time.

Dual-Role Decomposition

See exactly how much cash is tied up in each role — retainage held as GC, retainage owed as Sub, AR outstanding, AP committed — all in one view.

Project-Level Drill-Down

Click into any project to see its individual contribution to your overall position — cash in, cash out, retainage balance, and net contribution.

Historical Trending

Track how your net position evolves over time. Spot patterns — is retainage piling up? Are collections slowing? Is one entity dragging?

Forecasting

See 30, 60, 90 Days Into the Future

Metaprise forecasts cash flows using real project data — billing schedules, payment history, retainage release timelines, and contractual milestones. Not accounting estimates, actual execution data from across your platform.

Project-Level Projections

Each project's expected inflows and outflows modeled independently, then rolled up to the portfolio level. See which projects are cash generators vs. cash consumers.

Retainage Release Forecasting

Predict when retainage becomes available based on project timelines, milestone conditions, and historical release patterns. Plan around real dates, not hopes.

Shortfall Early Warning

Alerts triggered when projected cash dips below configurable thresholds. Know about cash gaps weeks before they become crises.

Scenario Modeling

What if a major retainage release is delayed 30 days? What if two large pay apps land in the same week? Model scenarios and stress-test your cash position.

Consolidation

Every Entity. One Dashboard.

Multi-entity contractors shouldn't need a week-long close process to see their consolidated cash position. Metaprise rolls up every entity's cash, AR, AP, and retainage into a single live view — with drill-down to any level.

Automatic Consolidation

All entities consolidated in real-time — no manual roll-up, no pivot tables, no waiting for month-end. Intercompany eliminations handled automatically.

Entity-Level Drill-Down

Toggle between consolidated and entity-level views instantly. See which entities are cash positive, which are drawing down, and where intercompany flows are happening.

Cross-Entity Cash Optimization

Identify opportunities to redeploy excess cash from one entity to fund obligations at another — before resorting to credit lines.
