Recognizing that construction finances can be a bit tricky for even the most seasoned professional, the Construction Financial Management Association created a certification program. In May, the association held its first-ever Certified Construction Financial Professional exam, geared to accountants, bond underwriters, insurance brokers, attorneys, surety bond agents, and software providers. To become certified, financial professionals have to meet education or experience requirements, have at least 4,000 hours of verified work experience in construction-related jobs in the last five years, and agree to follow a code of ethics.
