For contractors, “bookkeeping” isn’t just recording sales and expenses. It’s job costing down to the last nail, tracking deposits, progress payments, and retainage. Each job has its own budget, its own income, and its own set of costs. Without tracking each piece separately, you can’t tell where you’re winning and where you’re losing until it’s too late to adjust.

Yes. We set things up so every labor hour, every receipt for materials, permit, rental, or subcontractor payment is tied to the correct project. That makes it easy to compare actual costs to your estimate, spot overruns while the job is still active, and use that history to improve future bids. Over time, you’ll see patterns like a supplier whose prices creep up or a recurring delay that’s costing extra.

We record progress payments as they come in and track retainage that’s held until project completion. You’ll know what’s billed, what’s collected, and what’s still sitting out there. That way, overdue amounts don’t sit unnoticed until they hurt your cash flow. For contractors juggling several jobs at once, that visibility is a game-changer.

We check every invoice against your purchase orders or contracts before it gets paid. That means you’re not paying for work you didn’t approve or materials you didn’t order. We also time payments so they work with your cash flow, not against it. When tax season rolls around, we’ll have your 1099s for subcontractors ready to go.

Absolutely. Many of our contractor clients roll this right into their monthly bookkeeping. That keeps job cost reports, invoicing, payables, and reconciliations up to date year-round. Some prefer to bring us in for a cleanup before tax time or after a busy stretch. Either way, we make sure the books are ready when you need them.
