Risk in construction isn’t just an “Ops problem” or a “Finance problem” … it’s a company-wide issue. 🚨

But even still - we commonly see confusion between construction Field Ops & Finance teams about who should be responsible for construction risk management.

When there’s confusion about who’s managing the risk, it can also add fuel to the disconnect between Ops & Finance — two teams that our VP Jeff Robertson believes can already clash far too often.

That’s why Jeff will be breaking down this topic at CFMA of Georgia’s March Chapter Meeting this Thursday!

He'll be sharing his thoughts on bridging the divide between constructions Ops & Finance teams to promote a more effective & proactive risk management strategy for your construction company. ✅

Jeff will also be hosting a live Q&A, so if you’ve got hot takes or questions of your own, this is the time to bring them! 🔥

Who’s really responsible for managing risk in a construction company?! 🤔

💰Finance & Accounting teams tend to think it's up to Operations to sort out...

🛠️ Meanwhile, Operations teams tend to point the the finger right back at Finance & Accounting.

In reality, it's a shared responsibility — and if you ask our senior consultant Jeff Robertson, it's also one that too many construction companies simply overlook.

When risk isn’t proactively managed across both sides, it can lead to:
❌ Cost overruns
❌ Project delays
❌ Long-term financial instability

Jeff will be breaking this topic down further at the upcoming Georgia CFMA chapter meeting, where he’ll discuss how Ops & Accounting teams need to align in order to mitigate & manage risk effectively.
