If you’ve made it this far in business, I probably don’t need to tell you that need to budget, track your overhead, and do job costing.

The problem is: nobody ever shows you HOW.

A few weeks back, we co-hosted a webinar with our friend Bob Gauvreau from Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory to teach 7-figure contractors everything they need to know about managing their finances. We talked about budgeting, job costing, avoiding cash crunches and more.

And today, we’re replaying it here on the podcast so more contractors can benefit from the insights.

This is a must-listen for anyone whose New Year’s Resolution is to get better at financial management.

Episode Highlights:

• Understand the least painful way to track your budgets, job costing, and  overhead—without wasting hours with mind-numbing numbers.
• Get insight into the top 5 cash flow problems to watch out for. Many of these are new in 2024 — but avoiding them is simple once you know what to look for.
• Learn how to take the guesswork out of your financial decision-making, including your financial benchmarks for your specific industry.
