Do you have the right tools to run your business?
The Construction Team at Jones & Roth, P.C. can help you with the
tools that will make your business thrive.
Business Diagnostic
TM
A
Business Diagnostic
TM performs a strategic and operational audit on
your business. The audit, a questionnaire, will identify your
current situation in the wider business environment through a SWOT
analysis that will reveal your current strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats.
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is a method used to determine your performance to the
construction industry standards. By benchmarking your company, you
will be better able to understand key financial elements relating to
the overall health and performance of your business. You will be
able to look at your business historically and understand the
overall trends. By comparing your benchmarks to various industry
standards, you can tell what is working in your company and what
isn’t working.
Strategic Planning
A
Strategic Plan is the key for company growth and development. Too
often, a construction company is too busy reacting to situations
that could have been avoided with some planning. A strategic plan
will look at your business objectives for the next one, two, and
five years. This allows you to address not only company goals but
also your personal, economic, and lifestyle concerns as well.
Procedure and Policy Development
The development of policies and procedures is another key tool.
Everyone needs to know the rules. Developing an employee manual
allows your staff to review policies and make decisions with
consistent interpretation. Issues can be handled fairly while
reducing legal liability.
Computer System and Software Evaluation
The increasing demands on the construction industry to provide on
time and accurate accounting and job costs has created a need for an
evaluation of computer systems and software. The evaluation process
outlines what is currently needed as well as what will be needed for
future growth. Construction companies spend a great deal of money
on computer systems that become under utilized. The evaluation
process helps address these concerns.
Compliance
All construction companies have to follow certain compliance rules
as outlined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Our professional team can
assist you with all your compliance needs. We are trained
specifically in the construction area to prepare your corporate,
partnership, and individual tax returns along with your audited,
reviewed or compiled financial statements.
Operational and Financial Controls
From estimating to project completion, construction companies face a
multitude of issues and challenges. Factors such as economic
instability, workforce dynamics, cash flow management, job costing,
and proper budgeting can be overwhelming for a busy business owner.
Yet the ability to identify, evaluate, and control issues which
affects construction companies can make the difference between
steady and measurable growth. We can assist you in addressing the
management concerns unique to the construction industry.
