Next up in our series, we're spotlighting Lisa Byrd, Project Accountant at White-Spunner Construction!
Lisa's path into construction started when a friend thought White-Spunner Construction would be a great fit for her. She brought several years of experience in accounts payable and receivable, while also keeping the books for her husband's business.
As a Project Accountant, Lisa keeps the financial side of our projects on track, from job costs to pay applications to subcontractor paperwork. Her first Home Depot, at World Commerce Center in Florida, was a big one, with a long list of subcontractors and paperwork to manage, and Lisa kept it all organized.
Her proudest project is the Civic Center Parking Deck here in Mobile, AL. It was a challenging job, but it's rewarding to work on a local project that benefits the community.
Coworkers know Lisa as friendly, honest, and hardworking. Her advice for anyone considering accounting in construction: "Working on a project start to finish and seeing it go from a patch of grass to a completed building is very rewarding."
Fun fact: Lisa has been married to her husband, Steven, for 30 years, and they have a daughter, Sabrina, and a granddaughter, Ensley. You might be surprised to learn she's very handy with tools. She's always refinishing furniture or working on a home improvement project, and she also loves hunting, fishing, gardening, and relaxing on her deck with a country view.
Thankful to have Lisa building alongside us!
