Many public accounting firms have construction clients, but construction may not be a major practice area. The firms that have CCIFPs on staff have demonstrated commitment to the industry and competence in construction financial management.

Construction accounting is a specialty much like cardio thoracic surgery is a specialty for a medical doctor. When you search for a medical professional, board certification demonstrates proficiency, and the same logic applies whether you are hiring a legal or accounting professional.

Public accounting professionals with the CCIFP designation must have a minimum 4,000 hours professional experience in construction in addition to showing expertise in eight knowledge domains, and only two of the knowledge domains are accounting related:

1. Accounting and reporting
2. Income recognition methods
3. Risk management
4. Budgeting and planning
5. Legal
6. Human resources
7. Taxes
8. Information technology
