Amealia Smith, EA MAcc

Hi👋 I’m Amealia

I’m a wife, a mom, a bonus mom, a follower of Christ, and I enjoy getting to know people beyond what they do for work.

I live in Florida with my husband and our son, Elijah. Family is a big part of why I built my business and why helping other families build wealth matters so much to me.

I enjoy learning, travelling, and cleaning.

I have read sooo many great books over the years that I feel it’s impossible to choose a favorite. But, I can narrow it down to B.O.S.S Moves by Myron Golden, Financial Stewardship by Andrew Womack, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Think and Grow Rich 1937 version by Napolion Hill. When I was a teen, I read lots of novels, but now I only read nonfiction.

I am totally a geek, so I have to watch something that has some level of smarts to it. My favorite genre of movie is Sci-Fi— The Matrix, Star Trek, and Avatar. I also love a good strategy show. My top favorite is Suits, but White Collar and Prison Break were also good watches.

I plan my upcoming week on Fridays because I refuse to give my Sunday afternoons to administrative work. Sundays are for relaxing and catching up with my family and friends.

How did I end up in construction?

I didn't set out to work with contractors.

Before COVID, I worked in corporate America, where I led the subsidiaries team within the controllership department at Capgemini, supporting one of the world's largest organizations. 

Then, at the beginning of the pandemic, our work transitioned overseas, and our office closed. At a time when no one knew what the economy would look like, I found myself rebuilding my career from a completely different starting point. 

I joined Greystar as a property accountant. Less than a year later, I was promoted to Senior Property Accountant, where I was responsible for the financial reporting and month-end close for a portfolio of multifamily communities. I partnered with community managers and regional property managers, presented monthly financial results, explained variances, and mentored accounting specialists while ensuring the financial integrity of my portfolio. 

Every property had different challenges, but one thing stayed consistent. The numbers were always a reflection of what was happening operationally.

Occupancy, collections, staffing, vendor relationships, communication, and execution all impacted financial results. By the time a problem showed up in the financial statements, it had usually started somewhere else.

Working alongside contractors and other vendors drove that lesson home. 

We were constantly waiting on invoices, chasing missing documentation, or hunting for the information needed to process payments. The work was already done, but the contractors couldn't get paid because something in their process broke down.

The more I paid attention, the more I realized cash flow problems are operational long before they become financial. That's when I stopped looking at cash flow as the problem. I began to see it as a symptom, much like sneezing is a symptom of allergies. 

A delayed invoice. 

A missed change order. 

Poor communication between the field and the office. 

Improper job costing. 

Small issues that look harmless on their own but eventually put real pressure on cash flow, profitability, and growth.

Whether I was working with a global organization, a portfolio of multifamily communities, or a construction company, I kept seeing the same pattern: The numbers always told the story of what was happening behind the scenes. 

That realization became the foundation for how I serve clients today.

Today, I work with roofers and general contractors. I believe cash flow problems don't start with the money in the bank. They start much earlier through operational and financial disconnects that quietly drain profit and cash over time.

That's why I created The Cashflow Job™.

It's the framework I use to help contractors identify those operational and financial disconnects affecting cash flow so they can make fact-driven decisions, protect profit, and build wealth from the business they worked so hard to build.

I believe every action in a business impacts cash, directly or indirectly. When contractors are able to see those connections, they gain more control, trust their decisions, and have a clearer path to keeping the money they work so hard to earn.

I don't believe you were meant to build something this big and still feel broke. 


To your success!
