Blackline founder Jared Westergard is a guest on the podcasts builders actually listen to — Adaptive's Builders, Budgets & Beers and the Brad Leavitt Podcast — talking real overhead, cash flow vs. profit, and how contractors get control of their numbers.
Builders, Budgets & Beers is the construction finance podcast from Adaptive — the financial automation platform we implement for our clients as a preferred accounting partner.
In this episode, Jared and the Adaptive team dig into why so many builders are flying blind on their own financials — and how to fix it without a giant overhaul: accurate, consistently coded data; an overhead number you actually trust; deposits structured around real project costs; and one focused improvement per month.
Brad Leavitt of AFT Construction hosts one of the most-listened-to podcasts in custom building. In this episode, Jared joins Brad to break down financial best practices for construction companies — cleaning up the accounting process, integrating the software stack so data is entered once, and what a fractional CFO actually does for a builder.
Recorded back when Blackline operated as Sonoran Business Advisors — same team, same construction-only focus, sharper name.
Everything in the episode — clean data, real overhead, cash flow visibility — is what Blackline delivers for contractors every month. Start with a conversation.
