When it comes to the construction industry, there’s more to accounting than most people realize. It takes a professional who knows how to go beyond the basics and one who is able to maximize contractors’ ability to do what they do best. It takes Teresa Godar, whose expertise is well rounded and specifically tailored for construction professionals.

Teresa provides the unique financial information necessary for contractors to make informed decisions by focusing on the important issues of bonding, benchmarking, budgeting, cashflow and job cost analysis. Her affiliation with ProfitCrew, a national network of advisory firms specializing in serving construction contractors, provides her tremendous opportunities to surpass client expectations with valuable insight and resources to assist her clients in maximizing their operational efficiencies, profit margins and stability while continuing to grow in an ever-changing industry.

With 13 years of experience in this field, Teresa has a greater understanding of the contractor profession and proves her dedication to providing a higher level of service to this unique and complex industry.

Many professionals simply claim to be experts in construction. But, Teresa has taken the extra steps to earn her Construction Industry Technician (CIT) accreditation through Clemson University. In addition, she was the first CPA in public practice in Missouri to obtain the CCIFP (Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional) designation.

Teresa is an honors graduate of Lindenwood University and a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Missouri Society of Certified Public Accountants, National Association of Women in Construction, Associated General Contractors and the Construction Financial Management Association. She is also a member of the St. Charles and O’Fallon Chambers of Commerce and is honored to serve on the board for the St. Peters Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Blue Ribbon Committee for United Services, an organization committed to helping children and their families with specific needs.

This commitment to her career and community earned her the prestigious 40 Under 40 Award from the St. Charles Business Magazine in December 2004.
