In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, host Rishi Srivastava sits down with Lymor Wasserman, a seasoned construction finance leader with nearly two decades of experience across HVAC, security, and telecom construction.
Lymor shares practical, hard-won insights on what actually matters in construction finance — from unit-based billing and cash flow challenges in broadband construction to designing KPIs that help project managers run better jobs, not just satisfy leadership dashboards.
You’ll hear a candid discussion on:
The most useful KPIs for project managers, superintendents, and finance teams
Why gross margin, forecast accuracy, DSO, and crew output matter more than vanity metrics
How to decide when granular cost allocation helps — and when a burden rate is smarter
Managing cash flow without “pay-when-paid” protections
Drawing healthy boundaries between finance support and operations ownership
Why soft skills and change management matter more than ERP logos
How to break down the “us vs them” dynamic between field, ops, and accounting
This episode is packed with real examples, practical frameworks, and leadership lessons for anyone responsible for job cost visibility, financial operations, or driving change inside a construction company.
