In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, host Rishi Srivastava sits down with Jennifer Murphy, CFO of Pleune Service Company and National Chair of CFMA (Construction Financial Management Association).

How ESOP ownership changes company behavior and motivation
What makes WIP meetings accurate, fast, and valuable
How to shorten the cash conversion cycle with simple reports
Why field techs resist (and later love) mobile work orders
