With an original emphasis on HVAC, plumbing, drain cleaning and electrical contractors, Brandon Jacob has expanded to offer guidance to all contractors including lawn care, roofing, pest, duct cleaning and numerous other privately held businesses that provide services to customers.

Financial guidance provided by Contractors Financial Opportunity LLC includes business valuations, financial consulting, and mergers and acquisitions support.

Businesses generating annual revenues ranging between $500,000 to $4,000,000 typically do not have the resources to hire a full time Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Unfortunately, these businesses are in the state of development where financial expertise of such an individual is critical to the continued growth and profitability of the business.

Contractors Financial Opportunity LLC (CFO) was formed to provide the critical financial expertise to those contractors that are in need of on-going guidance or for a short term project such as a business valuation or acquisition of a competitor.

Contractors Financial Opportunity LLC offers the expertise of CFO at a price a small to mid-sized businesses can afford.


Brandon Jacob, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), founded Contractors Financial Opportunity LLC after finalizing a successful seven-year career with American Residential Services/ServiceMaster. Brandon's responsibilities, from 1996 to 2002 included analyzing, valuing, negotiating and performing the due diligence associated with the many HVAC, plumbing, electrical and drain cleaning acquisitions that American Residential Services completed in the late 1990s and into the first three years of the new millennium.

During his tenure, Brandon analyzed and valued over 1,500 air conditioning, heating, plumbing, electrical and drain cleaning contractors.

The contractors work mix included; residential service, light commercial service, mechanical, residential new construction commercial new construction and large project oriented businesses.

Although his focus has been on businesses with annual revenues of $500,000 to $4,000,000, Brandon has worked with contractors as large $50,000,000.

Brandon participated in the successful close of over 100 acquisitions including the financial analysis and valuation of each of the 100 acquisitions.

This opportunity to analyze so many contractors' financial statements has provided Brandon a keen sense of understanding regarding small to mid-size business's financial statements.


"I am very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to learn so much about the operations that build the financial statements of a contracting business be it air conditioning, heating, plumbing, drain cleaning or electrical. Now that I am no longer analyzing and acquiring businesses for American Residential Services/ServiceMaster, I would like to pass my knowledge onto a contractors and help them grow profitably and independently whether they require assistance in valuing their business, buy a competitor, sell their business, develop a business plan and budget or any other financial related project".
