WIP Reports Made Simple: The Key to Stopping Hidden Job Losses | Ep. 357

Every contractor runs jobs. But only the disciplined few actually know where they stand financially.
In this episode, CPA Kathe Barrington joins Eric Anderton to break down how your Work-In-Progress (WIP) report reveals the real health of your company—and how misunderstanding it leads to hidden job losses, profit fade, and angry bonding companies.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Read a WIP report without getting lost in the numbers.
  • Use percent-complete accounting to calculate earned revenue accurately.
  • Avoid bad budgets, inaccurate closeouts, and fake profits.
  • Train PMs to own their numbers and align with accounting.
  • Standardize SOPs, cost codes, and reporting for consistent results.
  • Build financial transparency that protects cash and bonding capacity.
