EGP, PLLC was recently named as the exclusive Arkansas member firm of the Construction Industry CPAs & Consultants (CICPAC). Along with demonstrating technical proficiency in construction, exclusive member firms must maintain a solid reputation for providing the highest-quality work and integrity.
We serve clients both big and small and are proud of the working relationships we've formed over the years through ABC of Arkansas, AGC, and the CFMA.
The construction industry, by its very nature, depends on mobility and getting to where the projects are located, whether that is across a city or region, state, or country. Costs related to mobility are unique and there are various methods of covering or reimbursing your workforce for those costs. The methods you use and your compliance with the related regulations can impact the ultimate cost to your organization as well as your employees and the difference can be significant.
The intent of this guidance is to present information you need to analyze which methods provide the best result for your organization as well as some helpful tools to assist with compliance.
Many thanks to the committee members and CICPAC staff listed below for their hard work and efforts in compiling this information for CICPAC members and their construction clients.
