I once reviewed a contractor’s books where every job showed a healthy margin—on paper.


But reality told a different story:
๐Ÿ”Ž Unbilled labor was sitting in overhead.
๐Ÿ”ŽMaterials were coded to the wrong jobs.
๐Ÿ”ŽChange orders? Never tracked.

The result? The owner thought they were making money. But cash flow said otherwise.

✅ If you can’t trust your job costing reports, how can you trust your profits?

As a forensic construction accountant, I follow the data trails most people ignore—and it’s often the most organized reports that hide the biggest red flags.
