About Tim Lynch

When a construction project goes sideways — cost overruns, contractor disputes, delayed closeouts — the financial fallout can be massive. I help project owners, developers, and contractors get ahead of those problems, or resolve them when they\'ve already hit.As a Managing Director at Grant Thornton with 10+ years focused exclusively on construction and real estate, I work with clients across the full project lifecycle: from contract structuring and cost controls on the front end, to forensic analysis and dispute resolution when things go wrong.I\'m a CPA and Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) — which means I bring both the technical rigor and the credibility to support high-stakes decisions, negotiations, and litigation matters.If you\'re dealing with a troubled project, a contractor dispute, or just want to make sure your next deal is structured to protect your interests — I\'d welcome a conversation.
