Heavy Equipment Is a CFO Problem: Fleet Strategy, Preventive Maintenance & Benchmarking with Yvette Aubin (Ebsary Foundation)
What does it really take to run a profitable heavy civil contractor in 2026?
In this episode of Finance at the Jobsite, I sit down with Yvette Aubin, CFO of Ebsary Foundation Company, a construction finance leader with nearly 25 years of experience across government contracting, equipment strategy, risk management, and CFMA national leadership.
We go deep into the financial reality that most contractors underestimate:
🚧 Equipment isn’t just an operations issue — it’s a CFO-level lever for margin, schedule, and survival.
In this conversation, Yvette breaks down:
Why preventive + predictive maintenance is the #1 fleet risk
How underutilized equipment silently destroys profitability
The importance of rate-setting and cost feedback into estimating
How CFMA’s Heavy Equipment Comparator (HEC) helps contractors benchmark performance
How telematics + AI are reshaping the future of fleet finance
Why the best contractors treat fleet strategy like capital allocation
If you’re a contractor under $100M (or even $1B), this episode will change how you think about heavy equipment.
