I’m Elizabeth Jones—residential construction bookkeeping expert, cost-plus queen, and creator of the innovative Chaos to Clarity Project that’s transforming financial workflows for custom home builders. After spending years working with builders, I consistently saw internal chaos wreak havoc on their businesses and their bottom lines. These businesses were exposed to excessive risk and losing BIG. Why? Financial operations had garbage data processes so their reports were useless and unsubstantiated. Financial operations were not recording data in alignment with the type of contracts actually being used for both recording costs and tracking income (cost plus tracking for cost plus contracts, progressive or fixed processes for lump sum, etc) Financial operations were not properly implementing contracts with homeowners, investors or even their subs. For many, the financial operations didn’t even see the contracts!!! Financial Operations did not collaborate with Project Management at all creating a HUGE disconnect. I realized there’s a MASSIVE need for a structured transformation process to streamline and fully optimized financial operations workflows so that the ENTIRE office operates accurately and cohesively. So, I developed The Chaos to Clarity Project. Our process rebuilds your books, streamlines your office workflows, aligns financial operations with project management, and equips your team to execute detailed project accounting with confidence. The result is accurate, collaborative, and reliable financial data—along with clear reporting that drives profitability and supports long-term growth. At Catalyst CAC, we implement this system directly through personalized, high-touch services. For builders and office teams who want to implement internally with guidance, we’ve also created the Chaos to Clarity community on Skool—where structured training and ongoing support make independent implementation possible. With a commitment to giving construction businesses the clarity they need to make data-driven decisions, my mission is simple: eliminate financial chaos and empower your business with tools that make scaling easy and efficient. Interests: When I’m not pouring into my business to help residential construction companies, I spend most of my remaining time with my children doing all sorts of craziness. From the beach to all the sports fields, I love spending all the time I can with my kids and our dog, Rocky! We are so blessed to live near Scenic Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, FL along the gorgeous Gulf Coast, and I absolutely love spending time outdoors- at the beach, in the water, along the trails, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/2b11edc1-7670-40f6-9ec9-91aea876eca6/Megan+Kaylor+LinkedIN.jpg About Us - Bookkeeping Account Manager Megan Kaylor Role: Education: Background: Interests: . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/1644317918836-2A87QGC0JRQCMIEN1SVG/blink-bookkeeping-construction-accountant-memberships-1.png About Us - Make it stand out Blink Bookkeeping is a member of the Building Industry Association of Okaloosa and Walton Counties, Inc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/1644317919082-30F54C4H05EE59D2FAPF/blink-bookkeeping-construction-accountant-memberships-2.png About Us - Make it stand out Blink Bookkeeping is a member of Florida Home Builders Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/1644317919756-4WP0WEXJRP42K5TTYEDB/blink-bookkeeping-construction-accountant-memberships-3.png About Us - Make it stand out Blink Bookkeeping is a member of Penny Lane’s JobCosting.com https://www.catalystcac.com/faq daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/656a7d78-9d99-457e-8aa1-911befc0d28f/blink-bookkeeping-financials-construction-industry-2.png FAQ - Make it stand out Blink Bookkeeping specializes in Construction Business Accounting in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida https://www.catalystcac.com/services daily 0.75 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f7ae6d5f468d08d3272fd4/d65c065e-cea9-403a-b8c8-8aa789b105cd/unsplash-image-6EnTPvPPL6I.jpg Services - Make it stand out We want you to experience decreased pressure AND increased productivity leading to increased profitability for your business.
