Building one of South Florida's most respected luxury homebuilders — together.

What started as a books reconstruction before COVID became a partnership that reshaped how Sciame Homes operates, scales, and leads.

Every lasting business relationship starts with a single honest conversation. Ours started with a mess that needed fixing.

We were introduced to Sciame Homes through a referral from an existing client — at a time when Kelly Sciame, Andrew's wife and the person managing finance and operations, needed help reconstructing the books and bringing clarity to a business that had grown faster than its systems could support.

What started as a cleanup became something much larger. We embedded ourselves in the business — not as outside consultants, but as a real part of the team. Our work focused on building what a company at Sciame's level actually needs: financial structure, documented workflows, scalable processes, and the operational discipline that lets a business grow with intention.

Today, Sciame Homes builds ultra high-end custom residential and civic projects across Palm Beach Island, West Palm Beach, Hobe Sound, and South Florida's most coveted locations. The team has grown from seven people to over fifty. Revenue has gone from low single-digit millions to approaching nine figures. We are still there — involved in everything except the construction itself.

The Beginning

Breaking from the old way

When we first engaged with Sciame Homes, the business operated the way many generational construction firms do — on relationships, institutional memory, and the owner's direct involvement in everything. That model works at a certain size. But Sciame was growing, and the old Palm Beach guard approach wasn't designed to scale.

Our initial work was grounded in the books: reconstructing records, building clean reporting, and creating the financial visibility that leadership needed to make informed decisions. But we quickly understood that the accounting was only one piece. The business itself needed to be re-engineered for what it was becoming.

The Work

Structure, systems, execution

Over the years that followed, we became embedded at every level. We built and documented SOPs from the ground up — workflows designed around a construction management platform that could support a growing team and increasingly complex projects. We handled payroll, insurance coordination, litigation support, staffing strategy, and the full spectrum of financial compliance that comes with running a serious company.

Our role as part-time CFO and COO meant we weren't just advising — we were in the work. Sitting with ownership to plan headcount. Thinking through timing on key hires. Making sure every financial decision had structure behind it and every operational decision had process to support it.

The Outcome

Six years of disciplined execution

The team grew from 7 employees to over 50. Revenue moved from low single-digit millions to approaching nine figures. Owner compensation reached seven figures — a direct result of building a business that works for its owner, not because of them.

But the more meaningful outcome is harder to quantify. Andrew Sciame runs a company with real infrastructure now. There are systems in place. People know their roles. The business doesn't stop when someone leaves the room. That's what we set out to build — and what we're proud to have built together.

How We Work Together

Our engagement covers the full operational and financial surface of the business. Everything except construction — handled.

Clean books, accurate records, and structured financial reporting that give leadership clear visibility into the business at all times.
Financial strategy, cash flow management, and budgeting — the decision-support infrastructure that makes intentional, sustained growth possible.
Day-to-day operational oversight, SOP development, and cross-functional alignment at the leadership level.
Full payroll processing alongside active involvement in headcount planning as the company has scaled.
Managing insurance relationships and providing financial documentation when legal matters arise.
Selection, implementation, and integration of construction management software and operational systems.
Ongoing preparation and filing of tax returns — keeping the business compliant.

“Josh has helped us scale without losing control. Having experienced people to think through hiring, growth, and timing with has made a huge difference in how confidently we run the business.”
