The Construction MF'ers
Leading a successful construction or manufacturing business can be tough. To survive, sometimes you have to be a real MF'er. We get it -- we're real MF'ers, too. MF'ers do what's right, pay it forward, lead through action, and get the job done. What did YOU think we meant by MF'ers? In THE Construction MF'ers, Mobilization Funding CEO and Co-Founder, Scott Peper, sits down with construction and manufacturing leaders to learn what they are doing differently and why it works. With a focus on communication, culture, and collaboration, The CONSTRUCTION MF'ERS tackles issues like labor, mental health, diversity, and growth with purpose.

The Accounting SECRETS Behind Construction Growth with Stacie & Lisa | Construction MF'ers EP93
Are your construction profits disappearing despite winning bids at 20% margins? Do you know what your projects are actually costing you? In this episode of The Construction MF'ers podcast, Scott Peper, our CEO and Founder, sits down with Lisa Robles and Stacie Gaffrey, CPAs from Saltmarsh, Cleaveland & Gund, to reveal why most contractors are missing critical financial insights that determine success or failure.
This episode is more than catching fraud in your construction business (though that's covered too)โand is about transforming how you understand your business finances. Lisa and Stacie explore why your WIP schedule matters more than your income statement, how overhead calculations make or break profitability, and why that concrete contractor who built a multi-million dollar business through hard work might still be making uninformed decisions that cost him thousands.
Here's what you'll learn:

If you're running your construction business by bank balance and gut instinct, you're likely leaving profits on the table. This episode delivers practical, actionable accounting advice from CPAs who understand constructionโnot just theory, but real-world strategies that support growth and protect what you've built.
