“Earning the CCIFP designation reflects my commitment to continually building my knowledge of the construction industry and understanding the challenges and opportunities our clients encounter every day. I value the relationships I have built with construction business owners and their teams, and I look forward to applying this additional knowledge to help them identify opportunities and address challenges.”

About the CCIFP designation
The CCIFP examination evaluates knowledge across key areas of construction financial management, including accounting and reporting, income recognition, budgeting and planning, risk management, taxes, human resources, legal matters, and information technology. Candidates must also demonstrate relevant professional experience serving the construction industry. To maintain the certification, CCIFPs are required to adhere to a Code of Ethics and complete ongoing continuing education in construction financial management. The rigorous requirements help distinguish professionals who have developed a broad understanding of both the financial and operational considerations affecting construction organizations.
