RedHammer partner Scott Franchini joins Intuit Lighthouse Construction Customer Advisory Board

PHOENIX — RedHammer announced on Oct. 2, 2026, that Partner Scott Franchini has joined the newly formed Intuit Lighthouse Construction Customer Advisory Board. The appointment ties RedHammer directly to the development of the Intuit Enterprise Suite for Construction, placing the firm in a strategic advisory role as Intuit shapes financial and operational software for commercial contractors.

The engagement brings specialized construction industry workflow expertise into the product design cycle for Intuit Enterprise Suite, a platform targeting mid-market and enterprise business operations. According to the PR Newswire announcement published Oct. 2, 2026, the Lighthouse advisory board serves as a sounding board for platform capabilities tailored specifically to the building trades.

Strategic Context

Contractors and commercial builders have historically relied on fragmented software stacks, separating field operations from back-office accounting, job costing, and payroll. Intuit's development of an enterprise-grade suite for the sector aims to unify these functions under a single software architecture. By integrating advisory input from active industry partners like RedHammer, Intuit seeks to align its product roadmap with the operational complexities unique to construction firms.

RedHammer's participation on the advisory board gives the firm early visibility into platform capabilities, integration pathways, and reporting standards that will affect contractor accounting operations. For software buyers and CFOs in the construction sector, the involvement of practitioner-led firms in product design signals an effort by developers to address core industry workflows.

Forward Outlook

As the Intuit Lighthouse Construction Customer Advisory Board begins its work, operators and financial executives should monitor how closely the enterprise suite's upcoming feature releases match the operational demands of general contractors and heavy subcontractors. The structure of the advisory board points to a collaborative development model where implementation partners help vet product functionality before broader market deployment.
