Whether you're a CFO, controller, accountant, or business owner, our solutions are designed to simplify payroll, automate compliance, and provide real-time financial insights.

Key Financial Challenges Lumber Helps Solve

Automating Payroll & Compliance

Managing payroll in the construction industry is complicated. With multi-state tax requirements, union wages, prevailing wage laws, and certified payroll reports, it's easy to fall behind on compliance. Lumber automates payroll processing, ensuring accuracy and compliance while saving hours of administrative work each week.

How we help:

  • Automated certified payroll reporting to meet government compliance.
  • Multi-state payroll tax compliance without the headaches.
  • Seamless union wage tracking to stay compliant with labor laws.

Real-Time Job Costing & Financial Visibility

One of the biggest financial pain points in construction is tracking labor costs and job expenses in real-time. Many companies still rely on outdated spreadsheets or disconnected systems, leading to inaccurate job costing and cash flow issues.

With Lumber's workforce management platform, construction companies can:

  • Monitor real-time labor costs by job site and project phase.
  • Improve job costing accuracy with automated payroll data integration.
  • Eliminate manual errors and gain real-time financial insights.

Streamlining Expense Management for Field Teams

Field workers often struggle with expense reporting and reimbursements, which can cause delays in financial tracking. Lumber integrates payroll with expense management tools, allowing workers to submit expenses instantly while ensuring compliance with company policies.

Key benefits:

  • Mobile-friendly expense tracking for field employees.
  • Automated expense approvals and reimbursements.
  • Seamless integration with accounting platforms for accurate reporting.

Ensuring Workforce Compliance & Tax Credit Optimization

Compliance remains a significant challenge for construction companies, from prevailing wage laws to state tax credits. Many businesses miss out on valuable tax credits due to a lack of proper tracking.

At the CFMA Florida Regional Conference, Lumber will demonstrate how we:

  • Ensure compliance with complex labor laws and tax regulations.
  • Automate prevailing wage calculations to avoid costly penalties.
