financial skills that a construction professional must have to be successful in the management of a construction company and its projects. Its topics address many of the questions that any construction administrator will face, such as: How to organize and use a company's financial reports; What amount of cash must be made available to the contractor to complete a project; Why the early payment of supplier invoices can enhance profitability; How to quantify the time value of money in financial decisions; What tax amount is owed by a company and how it impacts the bottom line; How to control project costs; What financial sources are available to a construction contractor for capital expansion.
