Lane Gorman Trubitt Named Among Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms; Severe Storms Disrupt Dallas-Area Operations

Lane Gorman Trubitt (LGT) has been named among the top 50 construction accounting firms in a recent industry ranking, a recognition announced in Dallas on August 12, 2025. The recognition highlights LGT’s focus on providing specialized accounting and advisory services tailored to construction companies and contractors, with an emphasis on helping clients strengthen financial foundations.

Why this matters now

The announcement comes as North Texas is dealing with active weather that has already affected travel, power and local safety. The timing is notable because construction projects and contractor operations in the region are being tested by storm-related delays and outages, making steady accounting and planning support particularly important for firms managing cash flow and scheduling disruptions.

Immediate local impacts from the storms

Scattered thunderstorms moved across the Dallas area this afternoon, with forecasts early in the day calling for partly cloudy skies followed by showers and storms. Meteorologists predicted a high near 91°F, light variable winds, and a 50% chance of rain, with lows around 75°F tonight. A national update warned of spotty evening storms and additional thunderstorms expected in North Texas through the week.

The storms prompted aviation disruptions at major local airports. The Federal Aviation Administration reported a ground stop at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) that lasted until 3:00 p.m., and at Dallas Love Field until 3:15 p.m. As of 2:30 p.m., DFW showed 533 delays and 64 cancellations, while Love Field reported 97 delays and 1 cancellation. Those travel disruptions can affect materials delivery, subcontractor arrivals, and project timelines.

Widespread power outages affected more than 31,000 homes and businesses, with the majority concentrated in Tarrant and Dallas counties. Utility monitoring showed Dallas County had the highest number of outages at 13,357. A lightning strike in Waxahachie led to a residential structure fire that drew emergency response resources.

Forecast and near-term outlook

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for parts of North Texas have expired for now, but forecasters warned that more storms and strong winds are likely this week. Temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 90s and approach 100°F later in the week, increasing heat-related risks on active job sites and stressing temporary cooling and hydration plans.

What this means for construction businesses

Construction firms in the region may face combined pressure from weather-related delays, supply chain interruptions, and higher on-site heat exposure. Accounting and financial planning services that understand the construction business can help firms adjust cash flow projections, review contract terms for weather delay clauses, and plan for short-term financing needs. The firm recognized in the ranking focuses on these kinds of services, aiming to help clients maintain stronger financial footing during disruptive weather or market swings.

Next steps for contractors and project managers

• Review project schedules for weather delays and communicate revised timelines to clients and subcontractors.
• Check planned material deliveries and coordinate with carriers affected by airport delays.
• Confirm emergency and heat-safety plans for crews if temperatures rise into the upper 90s or near 100°F.
• Monitor utility outage maps and coordinate with local authorities for sites without power.

Additional context

The recognition of a construction-focused accounting firm on a top-50 list underscores industry interest in specialty financial services that match the sector’s unique cash flow cycles and risk exposures. At the same time, local storms are an immediate reminder of how weather can amplify those financial and operational risks.
