Construction
LaPorte has worked with construction clients for over half a century. We understand the special audit, tax, and consulting needs of construction-related businesses. While many firms have industry concentrations, LaPorte’s multi-disciplinary group comprises 20 professionals who meet monthly to cross-train, identify best practices, review industry trends, and work together to reach collective solutions for our construction clients. Our group periodically provides updates and sends construction newsletters to our clients.
We are proud that five members of the Construction Industry Group are certified construction industry financial professionals (CCIFPs).
