While today’s economy is favorable for the construction industry, there are still unique challenges. Skilled labor job levels haven’t returned to pre-financial crisis levels. Companies are dealing with tighter profit margins and political uncertainty. Now more than ever, every bid needs to be competitive while reflecting accurate cost estimates.

We understand contractors need to prioritize both short- and long-term stability, which is why the Whittlesey team focuses on monitoring complicated industry regulations and providing timely advisory services to our clients. Whittlesey’s dedicated construction practice is staffed by accountants, several Construction Industry Technicians (CIT), advisors, and technology experts with specialization in assurance, tax, and financial systems.

Delivering a timely, high-quality project is the goal of all contractors and construction companies. Our clients rely on us to deliver precise financial reports along with actionable suggestions to maximize profits, achieve operational efficiency, and strategically grow.
