About Terri
Construction and real estate carry decisions most other industries never face: how revenue gets recognized across jobs that span fiscal years, how work in progress is reported, how a bonding company reads a balance sheet, and how holding entities are structured before a property is acquired rather than after. Terri leads that work at Cooper Norman, and she brings the firm's five services to it: Tax Planning & Advisory, Client Accounting Services, Audit & Assurance, Business Valuation, and Business Transition Planning. As Chair of the industry group, she also sets how the firm serves contractors and developers across all six offices in Idaho and Utah.
What lands on her desk are the questions with a fork in them. Do we take the job at this margin. Does this entity hold the property or does a new one. What is the company worth if a partner exits, and what does the buy-sell need to say before that happens. Terri's answer is not a spreadsheet handed back; it is a position, with the reasoning shown, so an owner can decide and move. She works inside one connected team, so a construction client's tax, audit, and valuation questions do not get handed between firms.
