Billing & Chilling: A Siteline Podcast

Nobody teaches you how to run the financial side of a commercial subcontracting business. You figure it out—through rough months, late pay apps, retainage you forgot to track, and general contractor relationships you had to rebuild. The people who do it well have hard-earned opinions that don’t always show up in trade press, vendor blogs, or LinkedIn feeds. That’s why we here at Siteline created Billing & Chilling—to capture those opinions without sanding the edges off. Each episode, host Claire Wilson sits down with a controller, CFO, billing manager, or ops leader who has figured out something the rest of the industry is still working through: Cash flow strategies that hold up in a bad month. Change order processes that don't blow up in month three. How to read a GC's payment patterns before they become your problem. Claire has spent years on both sides of the pay app. She's Siteline's co-founder, a former project manager, and someone who has personally talked to more than 1,000 subcontractors across 40 states. She's heard the playbooks that actually work, and this is the show where she puts a microphone in front of the people who built them. If you work in construction finance at a specialty contractor and you've ever thought, "I wish someone would just tell me how they handle this,” this is that show. Consider it the least boring conversation about A/R you'll have. New episodes monthly.
