Most specialty contractors either do not have a WIP schedule or do not treat it with the attention it deserves. And if your WIP is wrong, Steve will tell you straight: your financials are wrong too.

If you run projects and you are not living inside your WIP every week, this one is for you.

Everyone is talking about AI right now. Which tools to use, how to automate, how to stay ahead. Steve thinks AI is important too.

If you are using AI to manage your finances, build KPIs, or forecast cash flow, this will change how you do it.
