How to Grow Bonding Capacity: Banking and Tax Moves for Contractors

How to Grow Bonding Capacity: Banking and Tax Moves for Contractors18 Aug27 min

Every construction company answers to three masters. The bank. The bonding company. The taxman. Same financial statements, three different things they want from you.

Kathe Barrington is a CPA who builds the construction accounting that bankers and bonding agents actually read. In Part 7 of our series, we work through how to stop being at the mercy of all three and get them working as one team.

What you'll learn:

Why one set of books gets three different recommendations, and what to do about it

How paying less tax can quietly shrink your bonding capacity

Why bank and bonding both care about equity, retained earnings, and working capital

How WIP accuracy and consistent margins build outside trust

The one meeting almost no contractor runs, and why it changes everything

Kathe Barrington is a CPA with 30+ years of experience, 20 focused on construction. Through KB CPA she is a fractional accounting resource for commercial GCs and specialty contractors that need construction-literate financial support without a full-time CFO or controller.
