ConstructionAccounting & Financial Management5CriticalAccountant$ explicit

A solo accountant in a rapidly growing construction company is overwhelmed by manual processes, uncooperative project managers, and lack of systems, while being blamed by the owner despite working 60-70 hours a week.

Existing solutions are either manual (Excel) or insufficiently integrated (RAMP covers field workers but not accounting/financial management), and there is no software that handles job costing, open purchase orders, equipment allocation, and payables/receivables in an integrated way for a construction company going through rapid growth and audit.
