Construction
Cash flow, financing or bonding on your mind? We can help.
With over 50 years of professional experience working with construction clients, Kaufman Rossin’s construction industry team has the expertise to help you tackle issues that keep you up at night and identify and solve those you may have never considered.
We can help you prepare and plan for the challenges and changes in your industry, from supply chain disruptions that affect the availability and cost of materials, to labor shortages and addressing new safety concerns.
Kaufman Rossin works with contractors by providing guidance to help improve their bottom lines. We can advise you on how to maximize your cash flow or issue your financial statements for bonding or borrowing requirements.
Maintaining positive cash flow increases your chances of securing a line of credit and puts your company in a position to keep afloat during times of economic uncertainty.
