Sam Allison

Sam Allison, Director of Financial Operations – A native of Monroeville, Alabama, Sam attended Troy State University for his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Accounting emphasis, followed by a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) with Accounting concentration. He then joined Warren Averett Kimbrough & Marino, the largest CPA firm in Birmingham, to begin his career in public accounting. During his tenure at Warren Averett, as well as two other CPA firms in Birmingham, Sam obtained his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification and spent several years of crunching numbers and performing audits and consulting engagements in a variety of industries. Construction was a primary industry focus for Sam, particularly during the economic turmoil of 2007-2009, as he sought out ways to help see his clients through the downturn and also took several educational courses to enhance his knowledge of construction accounting. During this time, Sam developed a desire to join the private sector and contribute to the success of one company rather than assisting several entities on a smaller scale. This desire led him to serve as the Chief Bean Counter for Murray Building Company.

At Murray Building Company, Sam handles all financial aspects of the company, ranging from day-to-day accounting to the most complex issues. Sam's previous experience, financial acumen, forecasting abilities and remarkable attention to detail have allowed him to serve as a vital component during the company's exceptional growth since April 2010. In addition to financial matters, he has also served in other operational capacities during the company's growth phase, including human resources, administration, insurance and banking relationships.
