Cash Flow Forecasting: Your Bank Account Is Lying To You
- 2-Day Workshop
- October 21-22, 2026
- Tampa, FL
Nobody told you that winning the big job can put you out of business, but that’s exactly what happens to dirt contractors all the time.
You win a big job, get the contract signed, you’re ready to mobilize. It feels like the biggest win ever and you take the family out for dinner to celebrate.
Two months into the project, you’re ahead of schedule and under hours. Everything looks good on paper, but payroll is due on Monday and you’re scrambling to figure out how to get enough cash in the account.
This workshop is about how to never end up in that situation, or if you’re there now, how to get out. Join us for two focused days of building practical financial processes you will implement immediately. The reality is, you’re not alone. School doesn’t teach you this stuff and no one is born with an accounting degree.
Join us in Florida where we’re putting the “work” in workshop. You’ll leave with:
- A real cash flow model built for a real one of your actual projects
- Clear processes for managing bonded jobs
- Actionable financing strategies you can implement right away
- Direct feedback from experts and peers who’ve been in your shoes and got through it
This is an intimate, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop where you’ll get personalized attention. We’ve designed it to give you time to actually build systems, not just learn about them. Bring your laptop and join us in October and get the systems, processes, and expert cash flow guidance to fuel your growth.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for owners and finance leaders of excavation and civil contracting businesses doing $1M – $25M in revenue who are ready to level up their financial skills. Controllers, finance leaders, and owners will learn how to accurately look ahead with their money before it becomes a financial emergency.

What It's Like to Attend a Ground Crew Workshop
We Put the "Work" Back in Workshop
You’re not here to listen. You’re here to build.
Every workshop session gives you time to create real processes for your actual business. The group provides live feedback while you work. You ask questions. You refine. You walk out with something finished.
No theory. No “great ideas” to implement later. Just working cash flow systems, built in the room, ready to plug in Monday morning.
You're Learning With (and From) Your Peers
The room will have leaders from excavation and heavy civil companies. People who face the same challenges you face. People who run businesses like yours.
This isn’t a generic construction event. It’s hyper-focused on dirt contractors.
That means:
- The questions others ask are relevant to you
- The examples used match your reality
- The processes you build account for your specific industry challenges
- The relationships you form continue beyond the workshop
You’ll learn as much from the contractor next to you as you will from the speakers. That’s by design.
