Reece sits down with Matt Calvano, co-founder and CEO of Adaptive, to talk about why construction financials break down when the field and back office are working from different information. Unlike most businesses, construction accounting depends on constantly understanding what is actually happening on each project.
They get into why buying software based on features alone rarely fixes the problem, how builders can give their teams more freedom to test better tools, and why workflow matters as much as the system itself. Matt also shares where Adaptive is headed after its $30 million Series B, including using operational context from schedules, daily logs, email, and the field to make financial reporting more accurate and proactive.
