2025 Wrapped: The Metrics, Milestones, and Stories That Shaped Our Year

This past year was an important one for ProNovos and for many of the contractors we work with. Across the industry, teams continued to look for better visibility into their numbers, clearer communication between field and office, and tools that make financial decision-making faster and more reliable. Our focus was to support that shift with practical improvements, stronger education, and solutions that meet contractors where they are.

We saw real momentum in how clients used the platform, how our community engaged with new ideas, and how financial intelligence is becoming a larger part of daily construction operations. The highlights below reflect the work, the conversations, and the progress we made together throughout the year.

The Growing Footprint of ProNovos Across the Industry

This year saw continued expansion in how contractors rely on ProNovos to manage financial and operational visibility.

1,075 total active users

$8 billion in job costs (+40% vs. 2024)

$29 billion in active contracts (+61% vs. 2024)

$9 billion in billings (+43% vs. 2024)

These gains reflect broader adoption across project teams, accounting groups, and executive leadership, as well as the rising volume of financial data contractors are centralizing in ProNovos.

Major Releases of 2025

AI-powered change orders

An AI-powered tool that transforms quick notes, photos, or emails into professional change order requests complete with labor, materials, equipment, and schedule impact.

Schedule of values & pay apps workflow

A complete SOV and Pay App workflow that manages the entire billing process before anything syncs to your ERP. Subcontractors submit their Schedule of Values, you review and approve, then they bill monthly with dollar amounts or percentage complete. Everything is tracked, matched to invoices, and connected.

Analytics module redesign

A completely redesigned Analytics experience where custom dashboards are no longer hidden behind toggles. Now they live at the top-level in tabs you can rename, reorder, and reorganize. You can even replace standard dashboards with your own custom versions.

Change order requests interface redesign

A refreshed Change Order Request interface with improved layout, clear visual hierarchy, description fields for context, and a step-by-step modal for adding line items. Plus three PDF export formats (detailed, condensed, summary) to match different documentation requirements.

Over/underbilling analysis

A tool that connects your Schedule of Values directly to your project budget, maps costs to line items, and shows exactly where you’re over or underbilled—and more importantly, explains why.

Directory module update

An updated Directory page with a consistent UI that matches WIP, AR Collections, and Cost Forecast. New features include customizable column views, consolidated actions in three-dot menus, and individual pages for each user and contact.

Additional enhancements

Roll up cost classes into cost codes for a cleaner view. Configure it in your settings for less granular detail where you need it.

Set different date ranges for project reviews than invoice due dates, giving your team time to finalize transactions before the deadline.

We separated actuals from forecasts so past months show real revenue and costs, while future months show projections only. Added Linear and S-curve baselines for better trajectory comparison, plus significant performance improvements.

Turning Support Into Success: Highlights From the Year

This year, we focused on giving clients clearer, faster access to the support and insights they need. Our twice-monthly Power Sessions and growing library of ProTips videos helped teams get quick answers, learn best practices, and stay up to date on new capabilities.

We also highlighted the real-world wins of clients like Beachside Roofing, SDAC, and Jolly Roofing. Beachside Roofing’s implementation wrapped up in just two weeks. “Within that short timeframe, we got everything aligned, which was impressively quick,” said Vice President Scott Ai. He added that real-time visuals have “eliminated countless phone calls and emails… everyone has access to everything they need, from anywhere.”

For SDAC, drill-down visibility became a significant time saver. “ProNovos is helping us analyze the data more effectively,” said Director of Analytics Lu Woods. “I can click a button and get exactly what I need… it saves us hours every week.”

At Jolly Roofing, forecasting moved from reactive to strategic. Controller Roger Glaude now looks 4–6 weeks ahead with confidence: “We can clearly see what’s coming in and what’s going out over the next 30 days.” Project managers experienced a similar shift: “It’s not just ‘What’s our margin?’ anymore. It’s ‘Why is our margin changing?’”
Across every engagement, our goal stayed the same: help contractors gain more clarity, greater efficiency, and greater impact from their data.

The Construction Intelligence Summit

In August, we hosted our first-ever Construction Intelligence Summit at Smith + Howard’s Atlanta office, bringing together over 50 leaders from across the construction ecosystem. Contractors, CPAs, technology partners, and industry experts spent the day discussing financial intelligence, AP strategy, data-driven decision making, and the future of construction operations. Speakers included Neil Shah, CEO of CFMA; Sean Taylor, CEO of Smith + Howard; John Killingsworth, Professor at Colorado State University; and Avi Reddy, CEO of Envision Construction. A group of CPAs from top firms, including CBIZ, GBQ, REDW, Pinion, Grassi, AAFCPAs, and Smith + Howard, also shared best-practice insights for improving financial outcomes in construction. The sessions highlighted where the industry is heading and how ProNovos is helping contractors build stronger financial foundations, improve visibility, and make better decisions. It marked the start of a growing community committed to elevating construction finance and operations.

Sharing Insights and Showing Up Across the Industry

ProNovos continued to strengthen its voice across the construction finance and operations landscape this year. Our team spoke at many of the industry’s most respected events, starting with CFMA National, where Bruce Orr joined a panel on the WIP schedule as the bridge between operations and finance. During CFMA National, ProNovos also hosted a networking happy hour at Epilogue, creating space for meaningful conversations beyond the sessions.

Bruce also presented at the CFMA Orange County Chapter, the TUG User Conference, and CONVERGE25 alongside Denver Sperry and Roger Glaude of Jolly Roofing, where they explored how contractors can turn data into cash. John O’Bryan presented at Smith + Howard’s construction accounting summit, and Samantha Lake spoke at both the Virginia and Lone Star CFMA regional conferences. At the Lone Star conference, ProNovos and Viva Capital Funding co-hosted a happy hour at Bar 1919, and Samantha also represented ProNovos at AICPA’s technology showcase.

Beyond the stage, our team stayed active in the broader industry conversation by attending events such as Procore Groundbreak, Trimble Dimensions, the CFMA Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference, and the CBIZ Construction Summit. These gatherings offered valuable opportunities to connect with contractors, technology partners, and construction finance professionals who continue to shape the industry’s future.

Where We Leaned In: Working Capital, Cash Flow, and Smarter Decisions

This year, our content library continued to be a go-to resource for contractors, CPAs, and project teams looking for practical guidance on money, management, and modern construction technology. We published stories that unpacked real financial challenges and built resources teams could actually use. That effort resulted in more than 5,500 blog pageviews and over 850 eBook downloads across nine new or updated eBooks. Topics like balance sheet fundamentals, data storytelling for project managers, resources for women in construction, and understanding the S-curve in project forecasting ranked among the most-read and most-shared content of the year.

We started with the topic nobody can ignore: working capital.

From Working Capital that Works for You to Good vs. Bad Working Capital in Construction Finance, we broke down what strong financial foundations really look like in this industry. Our deep-dive guides on QuickPay, funding options, and cash-flow strategies, plus our Working Capital Strategies eBook, helped thousands of readers rethink how money moves through their jobs. And through our partnership with Viva Capital, we explored how contractors can tap smarter funding tools without slowing down operations.

Cash flow took center stage.

Construction billing methods, reducing payment delays, AP strategy, outgoing payments, the KPIs that matter, and the recurring challenge of slow pay, we covered it all. These pieces gave contractors practical steps they could use immediately, whether it was improving forecasting or finally getting a handle on chronic profit fade.

Technology, WIP, and the modern construction stack also had a big year.

Readers dove into topics like choosing the right tech stack, buying technology without regret, improving WIP and cash flow with connected systems, and navigating the landscape of construction accounting software.

And we didn’t forget the people who make the industry stronger.

Our Storytelling for Project Managers series offered fresh takes on leadership and communication in the field. We celebrated the CPAs who support contractors every day, spotlighting Top 100 firms in our network and sharing insights from professionals across CBIZ, GBQ, REDW, Pinion, Grassi, AAFCPAs, and Smith + Howard. The CPA 10 Insights piece was among our most shared resources.

Finally, our most downloaded content showed exactly what contractors were hungry for.

Together, this body of work reflects the challenges contractors face and the future they’re building toward: tighter financial control, better data, and stronger collaboration between field, office, and advisors.

The Voices Behind the Insights

Our webinars brought together voices from across construction, finance, surety, and technology. We hosted 14 webinars with over 900 total registrations. From ProNovos team members to industry leaders, each presenter helped contractors navigate real challenges with practical insights and actionable takeaways. Below is a look at the experts who contributed their time and expertise throughout the year.

Looking Ahead

This year showed what is possible when contractors, CPAs, and industry partners come together with a shared focus: building stronger financial foundations and empowering teams with clearer, more actionable data. The growth we saw in our product and community, and the success of our clients, is only the beginning.

2026 will bring even more momentum as we expand our financial intelligence platform and roll out new capabilities, including the continued evolution of QuickPay and the launch of QuickPay Direct. These tools will give contractors faster access to funding, more predictable cash flow, and a smarter way to keep projects moving without adding administrative burden. The excitement from early adopters has been undeniable, and we are just getting started.

We remain committed to building solutions that bridge the gap between field and office, streamline financial workflows, and give construction companies the confidence to make faster, smarter decisions.

If you are ready to see how ProNovos can help your team work with greater accuracy, visibility, and control, we would love to connect.
