Lane Gorman Trubitt’s office showcasing its commitment to construction accounting.
Dallas, August 13, 2025
Lane Gorman Trubitt (LGT) has been recognized among the top 50 construction accounting firms by Construction Executive. This distinction highlights LGT’s commitment to delivering tailored financial services for the construction industry, particularly in navigating economic challenges. As severe weather conditions disrupt local life in Dallas, the firm’s role in helping clients strengthen their financial health has become increasingly vital. The acknowledgment emphasizes LGT’s expertise and proactive measures in supporting clients amid turbulent circumstances.
Who and what: Lane Gorman Trubitt has been named to a national list of the top 50 construction accounting firms, a recognition that highlights the firm’s work in providing accounting and advisory services specific to the construction sector.
Where and when: The announcement was made in Dallas on August 12, 2025.
The recognition underscores the firm’s stated focus on helping construction clients build stronger financial foundations through specialized knowledge and ongoing support. The designation signals to contractors, developers and industry partners that the firm maintains a practice tailored to the unique accounting, tax and financial reporting needs of construction businesses.
The recognition came on a day when North Texas weather had a major local impact. Forecasts called for partly cloudy skies early with scattered thunderstorms expected in the afternoon, a high near 91°F, and light variable winds. There was a 50% chance of rain and an expected overnight low around 75°F. A broader national update warned of spotty evening storms and additional thunderstorms expected across North Texas later in the week.
Severe weather produced travel and power disruptions across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Thunderstorms prompted a temporary ground stop at the region’s major airports. Federal aviation authorities reported that operations at the largest airport were halted through 3:00 p.m., and the other major airport experienced a ground stop until 3:15 p.m.
At 2:30 p.m. local time, the largest airport had recorded 533 delays and 64 cancellations, while the downtown airport reported 97 delays and 1 cancellation. These disruptions affected both arriving and departing flights, creating ripple effects for passengers and cargo movement.
Power systems were also hit. Utilities reported widespread outages affecting more than 31,000 residents and businesses, with the greatest concentration in Tarrant and Dallas counties. The utility’s live outage map showed Dallas County with the highest single-county impact at 13,357 outages. Emergency responders also dealt with isolated storm damage, including a lightning strike that led to a house fire in Waxahachie.
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that had been issued for parts of North Texas were reported as expired by midafternoon, but forecasters continued to call for more storms and strong winds later in the week. Temperatures for the area were expected to climb into the upper 90s, approaching 100°F toward the end of the week, raising heat concerns after the storm window passes.
The firm’s placement on a top-50 list signals continued attention to construction-focused accounting services, announced the same day North Texas dealt with disruptive storms that caused flight halts, extensive power outages and localized property damage. Residents and businesses in the area faced both service interruptions and a forecast of rising heat later in the week.
Being named among the top 50 construction accounting firms indicates that a firm is recognized for maintaining a practice that serves the accounting and financial needs specific to construction businesses. It reflects specialization rather than a guarantee of performance.
The recognition was announced in Dallas on August 12, 2025.
Severe afternoon storms in the Dallas area on the same day caused widespread travel and power disruptions, including ground stops at local airports and thousands of utility outages. These conditions likely affected travel and local operations tied to that day’s events.
Utilities reported more than 31,000 customers without power, with the highest outage count in Dallas County at 13,357. Tarrant County also experienced a large share of the outages.
Flight operations faced a temporary ground stop. As of midafternoon, one major airport reported 533 delays and 64 cancellations, while another reported 97 delays and 1 cancellation. Ground stops were lifted in the midafternoon hours, but schedules continued to be affected.
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings had expired, but more storms and high winds were forecast for the area later in the week. Temperatures were expected to rise into the upper 90s and near 100°F toward the end of the week.
