What Our Clients Say

“My company teamed up with Odyssey 2 years ago and it's one of the best moves we've made in our many years in business.

Steve's insight, energy, and attention to detail have allowed me to get a better handle on my numbers and the results have been super positive on the bottom line!

I'm very glad that I chose to bring Odyssey onto the team, only regret is I wish we did it earlier!”

Better Job Cost Visibility

Partnered with a growing general contractor to design a job costing structure, implement financial classes, and integrate JobTread with QuickBooks. The new system connected project budgets with accounting, giving project managers real-time budget vs. actual visibility while ensuring accurate financial reporting.

Result: Improved job cost visibility, more informed project decisions, and stronger financial reporting.

Your Success Story Could Be Next

Every construction company faces different challenges, but our goal is always the same: help owners improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, and build a stronger business through better financial systems and strategic guidance.

Meet Your Financial Partner

Construction companies deserve more than an accountant who simply closes the books each month.

At Odyssey, we believe your financials should be a tool for making better decisions - not just a report you review after the month is over. That's why we work exclusively with construction companies, combining accounting expertise with proactive financial guidance to help owners improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, and build businesses that create long-term financial freedom.

Founded by Steven Heintzelman, CPA, after beginning his career in audit at Ernst & Young, Odyssey was built with a simple mission: to provide construction business owners with the financial clarity, systems, and strategic guidance needed to grow with confidence. Growing up around a family-owned lumber business shaped our belief that every entrepreneur deserves a financial partner who is invested in their long-term success.
