Joe Parton has more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry. As a Controller, Joe has spent this time working in a variety of construction activities, including real estate development, construction management, general contracting and trades contractors. Initially, his focus was on helping firms better manage their finances and cash flow by offering services as a consultant or part-time controller. After spending a lot of time working with Sage 300 CRE, Joe noticed something. These companies truly struggled to get an accurate work-in-progress that reflected a project’s true cost to complete. How can you manage your cash flow if you don’t know the current state of a project or how much it will cost to complete?
