Contractors deal with progress billing, retainage, job costing and 1099 crews. Generic bookkeeping misses all of it, and the gaps show up as margin you cannot explain.
Construction money moves differently from every other industry. Revenue arrives in draws against work completed, a slice is held back as retainage until closeout, and costs land against a specific job rather than a general ledger line. A bookkeeper who treats a contractor like a retailer will give you accurate totals and useless information.
We set the books up around jobs, so you can see profit per project while it is still running rather than discovering it at year end.
The work that generic bookkeeping leaves on the table.
"They turned a stressful filing season into a simple one. Professional, quick, and they found deductions I would have missed."
"Their handling of our franchise tax made a complicated process feel effortless. Grateful for the expertise."
"Accuracy, punctuality and a genuine client-first approach. I will absolutely be returning next year."
Yes, and for most contractors it is the reason they move to us. We structure the chart of accounts around jobs so labor, materials and subcontractor costs land against the right project, and you get profit by job rather than one company-wide number.
Yes. We track subcontractor payments through the year, chase the W-9s you are missing before January, and prepare and file the 1099-NECs. Worker classification is reviewed at the same time, since misclassifying a sub is one of the more expensive mistakes in this trade.
If you take work across a state line you may create a filing obligation there. We review where you have worked, tell you where you are exposed, and prepare the additional state returns that result.
Free consultation. No pressure, just answers from a team that has seen your situation before.
