It is not a secret that financing costs and capital requirements are high in the construction industry. Regardless of the size of the project, construction business owners must obtain the capital resources to finance the costs of construction.
However, backing up with finances is not enough. One should have cost accounting to track the cost of each project separately properly. Unfortunately, there are construction businesses out there who overlooked the importance of having accounting, which led to running out of cash to support their projects.
Our guest for today’s Episode here in Thriving in Construction, The Podcast, has three decades of accounting experience. And it is definitely a privilege to have her explain the importance of accounting.
