- BUSINESS PLANNING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
In the ever-changing landscape of construction, it’s tough to maintain your competitive edge. With new industry regulations, fluctuating materials cost and an uncertain labor pool, the ‘big picture’ can quickly slip out of focus.
Rushton & Company’s Business Services Team can help you regain that vital focus and make smart business decisions for long-term growth and viability.
We work in four key areas: operations, bonding, financing and taxes. We also keep our clients up-to-date on local, national and international industry trends – even attending seminars such as the Georgia chapter of the American Subcontractors Association and the annual National Construction Industry Conference hosted by the American Institutes of Certified Public Accountants.
Our construction client base began years ago with residential home contractors, before expanding to commercial subcontractors and general contractors. Through experience and study, we’ve become experts on complex construction accounting and tax methods, financing, bids and performance bonds.
Additionally, we bring significant business insight to our clients. For example, Perry Barnett, CPA, who heads our Business Services Management Team, spent years as a banker performing loan and credit reviews for numerous projects, including large construction jobs.
 ‘Well-built’ experience – The Rushton team works with hundreds of related
businesses, so we’re able to share business ideas that really perform. And not just tax advice, but solid counsel on all aspects of business. We also work one on one with owners on the personal finance side to ensure proper planning and coordination between their individual and business affairs.
With Rushton & Company, we’ll help you build a better bottom line today while growing your business for tomorrow.

“Rushton & Company was able to get our bond rate down. They told us: ‘Here are the steps and here are the goals.’ It’s remarkable how much it has saved us. Also, they helped us get our line of credit increased.
I’ve found the folks at Rushton & Company to be very customer-oriented. They make me feel like I’m on their level – that I’m not beneath them. They make me feel very comfortable.”
