Construction & Contractor Accounting — Job Costing That Tells the Trut
QR Code Link to This Post
In construction, the difference between a good year and a bad one usually comes down to knowing which jobs actually made money — and most contractors don't find out until it's too late.
When labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractors all land in one big pile of expenses, every job looks about the same. The job that lost money hides behind the job that made money, and you bid the next one the same wrong way.
We do accounting built for contractors: real job costing. Every dollar gets assigned to the job it belongs to — labor hours, materials, subs, equipment time, permits. You see profit or loss per job while the job is still running, not six months after it closed. Progress billing, retainage tracking, and change orders are handled as part of the same system, so nothing falls through the cracks between the field and the office.
We also handle the contractor-specific tax and compliance pieces: prevailing wage jobs, 1099s for subs, sales tax on materials where it applies, and entity and deduction planning that fits how contractors actually earn.
Whether you're a GC, a remodeler, an electrician, or a specialty sub, send us a message. Tell us how many jobs you run at a time and we'll tell you exactly how we'd set up your books.
