STRONGSVILLE, OH / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2026 / Foundation Software, a leading provider of construction software and services, is teaming up with YHB, a construction-focused CPA firm, for a live webinar discussing the indirect overhead and equipment costs that quietly erode contractor profitability. The free event takes place Wednesday, September 9th, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. PDT).
Materials, labor and subcontractor costs are usually tracked closely - but indirect overhead and equipment costs are notoriously difficult to allocate accurately, often leaving job cost reports incomplete.
"Where Your Margins Really Go: Mastering Indirect Overhead & Equipment Costs With YHB" tackles that gap head-on, with Brian Cancian of Foundation Software joined by Dorrie Franzello-Kurtz, CPA, and Matthew Smith, CPA, CCIFP, of YHB, breaking down how to identify, allocate and control the costs that distort true job profitability.
The webinar will:
Clarify what counts as an indirect cost and the common misconceptions that lead to misreporting
Break down how rented versus owned equipment costs should hit each job
Walk through setting up job costing rules and choosing an allocation method that fits the business
Explore how to use cost pools to inform sell-or-replace decisions
Explain how roll-up logic and annual allocation affect financial reporting
Attendees will also walk away with a clearer view of how indirect overhead and equipment costs affect job profitability, along with a framework for allocating those costs more accurately going forward.
