1st Class Accounting Prepared for VADD
VADD Construction Services · Platform integration

Fifteen good tools. One platform. One login.

VADD has already proved that AI-built tools work on real projects. The next step is the hard, unglamorous part: shared logins, shared project records, hosting that stays up, and people actually using it. That is exactly the work we do every day, for our own clients, on the same kind of stack.

What we saw

VADD Project Controls is a strong tool stuck on one laptop.

We went through the BitCloud Building 1 walkthrough screen by screen. The thinking is already there. What it needs is a home.

What is already good

  • Estimate to working Schedule of Values to commitments, by funding bucket
  • Transfers and bid leveling with a balancing line, plus a full history and roll back
  • Contingency and escalation tracked separately, with a burn-down chart
  • Tie-out checks that prove every total still adds up
  • A second person approves every commit
  • Primavera P6 schedule import and AI review of uploaded contracts

What holds it back

  • It opens as a file from an email attachment, so the data lives in one person's browser
  • Logins wait on a future system; today anyone can do anything
  • Each person pastes their own AI key into their own browser
  • Long-lead equipment lives on a separate site, so nothing connects to the budget
  • No shared document store, backups or monitoring
Proof

We have already done this job, in three industries.

Every one of these started as a prototype and is now software people use every day, built with AI coding agents and run by us.

Hospitality

Operations hub for a 12-restaurant group

Custom software on top of Restaurant365 for a hospitality group valued around $100 million: bank feeds and reconciliation, daily sales, labor, invoices, P&L packages, recipe costing, and investor management and relations. We also hold the fractional CFO role and set up daily automation across the whole company.

Blockchain Crypto Tax Prep pipeline

Our own tax practice runs on a pipeline we built: quoting, a secure client portal for documents, AI agents that prepare the work, and a preparer who reviews and signs off. An Ownership Hub tracks who owns what across entities.

Construction

Estimating-to-payment pipeline for a renovation contractor

Site visit, estimate, proposal, job tracking and payment collection in one system, with an AI assistant on top that drafts messages and keeps jobs moving. Built for an owner who wanted an assistant, not a software project.

Our own platform

One server, many tools, one login

We run our company's tools from one central server: one login with separate roles for each person, secure access from anywhere without a VPN, nightly encrypted off-site backups, health checks on every service, and phone alerts when something needs a person.

Your list, our record

The Integration Lead role, line by line.

VADD's posting for a Software Platform Integration Lead describes five jobs. Here is where we have already done each one.

VADD needsWhat it meansWhere we have done it
Own productionHosting, domains, secure access, backups, monitoring, users and roles, AI key controls✓We host and run every tool listed on this page: our own server, Cloudflare access, nightly encrypted backups, alerts, scoped logins, and AI keys held on the server instead of in anyone's browser.
IntegrateOne login, shared project and job records, tools that feed each other✓Our tax pipeline, client portal, AI assistant and reporting share one set of client records. The restaurant hub joins bank, sales, labor and invoices into one daily picture.
Build with AI agentsTurn a short outline from an engineer into a working alpha, with a user guide✓This is how we build everything. Almost all of our code is written with Claude Code, and we read, test and correct every line before it reaches a user.
Drive adoptionWin users one at a time until the tools replace the spreadsheets✓Our users are accountants, a chef, a CFO and a renovation contractor, none of them developers. We measure what they actually use and change the tools to fit.
ReportRegular progress with the CEO, COO and VPs✓We already prepare reporting for an ownership group and its investors. Plain numbers, what changed, what needs a decision.
Same stack

We already build on what VADD built on.

The posting describes a lightweight Python server, a document store, a browser front end and a commercial AI service. That is our stack too, so there is nothing to rewrite and nothing new to learn.

Why an accounting firm

Project controls is accounting with hard hats on.

Contingency, commitments, transfers and tie-outs are ledgers. We reconcile money for a living, so the numbers in your platform will add up the way a CFO expects.
  • ✓We know why the working Schedule of Values has to equal the estimate plus approved scope changes, and what to do when it does not.
  • ✓Job costing, bookkeeping and finance are our day job, which is one of the hands-on backgrounds the posting asks for.
  • ✓Every figure we show carries its source and the time it was read. A confident wrong number is the worst thing a finance tool can do.
  • ✓Two-person approval, audit history and roll back are how we already run our clients' books.
The first 180 days

Your plan, with a team that has done it before.

We follow the plan in VADD's own posting. The difference is that a team starts faster than one new hire learning on the job.

DAYS 1–30

Learn and secure

  • Read every tool's code and documents
  • Put Project Controls and the long-lead site on one shared server, behind one login, backed up nightly
  • Visit two job sites; first session with the CEO
DAYS 31–90

Take over production

  • Hosting, access and AI keys moved to central control
  • Close the pre-release items; a status log for every tool
  • Publish the product map; meet every group leader
DAYS 91–180

Connect and prove it

  • Shared login and project records live
  • Schedule, estimate and long-lead tools connected
  • Weekly feedback review; named users on named projects
Straight answers

Where we are strong, and where we would work alongside you.

Close by

We are in Maryland, a short drive from Leesburg, so site visits and in-person sessions are easy to schedule.

Devices

Android apps and embedded devices are not our core. We would work with VADD's embedded-systems group on provisioning and connect their devices to the shared platform.

Scheduling

We read Primavera P6 exports, as Project Controls already does. Your schedulers stay the experts on the schedule itself; we make it flow into the estimate and cash flow.

Next step: a 30-minute walkthrough.

We will show you the systems on this page running live, and sketch how VADD's tools come together behind one login.
