In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, host Rishi Srivastava sits down with Samuel McAravey, a seasoned engineering leader who has spent over 16 years building and scaling enterprise B2B SaaS platforms across FinTech and construction technology.

Samuel shares his journey from hands-on software engineer to leading globally distributed teams, and why trust—not features—is the real product in construction finance. They dig into why construction accounting systems are so complex, how ERP integrations become the true bottleneck to adoption, and why “move fast and break things” simply doesn’t work when real money, compliance, and livelihoods are on the line.

This conversation covers:

• Why construction finance is “FinTech turned up to level 11”

• How engineering decisions directly impact margins, risk, and P&L

• What product-market fit really means for contractors and accounting teams

• The hidden human policies encoded inside construction ERPs

• How CFOs and controllers should communicate requirements to engineering teams

• Why outcome-based metrics matter more than “butts-in-chairs” time

• How to introduce AI and automation without destabilizing systems of record

• Scaling from people-dependence to system-dependence as companies grow

If you’re a CFO, controller, founder, or construction tech leader thinking about modernization, integrations, or AI in financial workflows—this episode is a must-listen.
