Who it's for
Who the course is for.
Enrol your bookkeeper, office manager, or estimator: the employee closest to the numbers.
Built for companies in:
- General contractors and renovators
- Specialty trades: siding, roofing, electrical, plumbing
- Oilfield services
- Fabrication and custom manufacturing
Your employee will need to be:
- Comfortable with technology. Uses email, video calls, and shared online documents without help.
- Reads and writes well. Reads carefully, understands what they read, and writes clearly in English.
- Organized and trusted. Someone you already rely on, who can ask good questions and follow through.
- Has the time. Twelve live teaching hours, online in sessions or in person over two days, plus applied work and assessment requirements.
Readiness call. Before we send the invoice, we hold a short readiness call with your employee. The course only pays off if your employee can do the work, so we check first. If it isn't the right fit yet, we'll tell you, and nothing is owed.
What your employee will learn
By the end, your employee will be able to:
- Track the true cost of a job: labour, materials, equipment, and overhead.
- Compare what a job was quoted at against what it cost.
- Find the break-even the company has to hit each month.
- Build a monthly report management can read in ten minutes.
- Keep the numbers current without outside help.

Your information
Your work stays in your own accounts.
You do not send company files to Cornerstone. Work remains in your company's accounts; your approved software providers process data under your own settings and agreements. Your employee works in your own in-house documents, software, and systems, on the work device your company already gives them, whether they're in the office or working remotely. The facilitator reviews the work on a live call, where your employee chooses what to show. Nothing is recorded or copied, and no files come to us. We only ask for the enrolment details the invoice and the grant need.
We teach your employee to use what your company already has in house. Everything they build stays in your company's accounts from the first day.
