There are 18 on this page: 9 podcast appearances, 5 webinars and recorded interviews, 1 conference session and 3 published pieces. Every one links to where the host published it.

These sit slightly differently from a podcast. A software company or a lender putting somebody in front of their own customer base is a commercial decision on their part, which is a different kind of citation from a host booking an interesting guest.

THREE PIECES, THREE DIFFERENT ROLES.

Worth separating, because they carry different weight. One is written by Josh. One is written about him by somebody else. One quotes him as the expert the piece is built on. A page that lumps all three together as "featured in" is doing the reader a disservice, and the third kind is the hardest to earn.

Published on the blog of Brown Edwards & Company, a Top 50 construction accounting firm for seven consecutive years.

Every one of these published Josh to their own customers or readers. Four of them are also vendors SPM works with, which is stated on the entries above rather than left for the reader to work out.

COMMON QUESTIONS

BEFORE YOU BOOK HIM.

A former commercial construction project manager and master electrician who now runs the books he used to be measured against. Josh ran commercial construction before he ran finance. More than 150 projects as a project manager and master electrician, worth over $2.1B combined, with individual jobs from $50,000 to $300M. Data centers, military bases, hospitals, and high rises, across multiple states.
Yes. Construction financial management, subcontractor cash flow, job costing, and the CFOS framework. Available for podcast appearances, webinars, and speaking engagements. The fastest route is the booking link on this page, and the subjects he covers in most depth are the ones on the list above: construction cash flow, job costing built against the estimate, overhead that includes what the job really costs, and billing and collection discipline for subcontractors.
The operations side of construction finance rather than accounting. Why a subcontractor with a full schedule and a profitable statement runs out of cash, what a job cost report has to be built against to be worth reading, why an overhead rate bid at 10 percent runs at 18 to 28, and how billing and collection speed decide more about a subcontractor's survival than margin does. He came out of the field as a project manager and master electrician, so the examples are jobs rather than theory.
Every entry has been published by the host platform crediting Josh directly, which is the standard the page holds itself to. There are 18 of them: 9 podcast appearances, 5 webinars and recorded interviews, 1 conference session and 3 published pieces. Each one links to where the host published it, so any of it can be checked in a minute.
Yes, in three forms and the distinction is worth making. He is the author of a bylined framework piece on CrewCost's blog. He is the interview subject behind an article written by a director at Brown Edwards & Company, a Top 50 construction accounting firm. And he is the quoted expert source throughout a Billd piece on billing strategy. He is also the author of CONTROL: The Construction Financial Operating System.
