Christopher Cowan, CPA, CCIFP, CRIS

I lead Wiss’ Construction and Engineering Practice, working closely with contractors, developers, construction managers, and engineering firms to help them build stronger financial foundations and navigate complex industry dynamics. Clients count on me not only for GAAP-compliant reporting, ASC 606 implementation, and tax strategy, but for proactive, forward-looking guidance that supports long-term growth. I bring a deep understanding of the project lifecycle, from estimating and bidding through job costing, bonding, and closeout. My role often extends beyond the numbers, aligning sureties, banks, and legal advisors as part of a trusted advisory network around each client. At Wiss, we take pride in blending technical expertise with real-world insight. I’m passionate about helping construction and infrastructure companies modernize their financial operations whether that means streamlining WIP reporting, implementing real-time dashboards, or exploring AI-driven forecasting and automation tools. Innovation, to me, is about making smarter, faster decisions in a fast-moving environment. Above all, my focus is on building long-term relationships grounded in trust, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to helping clients succeed. Let’s build something that lasts.
