Not Just Bookkeepers

Most outsourced bookkeeping firms hand your files to data entry clerks. We don’t.

Staff Accountants With CPAs on the Team

Your books are managed by degreed staff accountants. We have CPAs on our team. Journal entries, financial statement prep, and variance analysis get done right the first time.

Full-Service Accounting, Not Just Data Entry

Month-end close, financial statement analysis, and reporting that goes beyond recording transactions. We handle the accounting work most bookkeeping firms can’t.

A Dedicated Team, Not a Software Tool

No DIY dashboards or AI-generated reports you have to review yourself. A dedicated accounting team that knows your industry handles everything.

Job Costing That Actually Tells You What’s Profitable

The problem: Most contractors don’t know which jobs are profitable until the project is over. By then, the margin is already gone and the lessons come too late for the next bid.

How we fix it: We set up per-job cost tracking in QuickBooks that captures labor, materials, equipment, and sub costs in real time. You see margin by job every month — not just at project closeout. That means better bids, faster course corrections, and fewer surprises.

WIP Reports Your Bonding Company Will Trust

The problem: Your bonding company and lender need accurate work-in-progress schedules, but producing them is painful. Most contractors either guess at percent-complete or fall behind on updates, putting their bonding capacity at risk.

How we fix it: We produce compliant WIP schedules every month, reconciled to your job cost data. Over-billings, under-billings, and estimated costs to complete are all calculated and ready when your surety or bank asks for them.

Subcontractor 1099s Without the January Scramble

The problem: Every January, contractors scramble to figure out which subs were paid what. Missing W-9s, incomplete records, and last-minute filings mean penalties and frustrated subcontractors.

How we fix it: We track every subcontractor payment throughout the year and collect W-9s as part of onboarding. When tax season arrives, 1099 preparation is just a button click. No fire drills, no penalties, no chaos.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does outsourced accounting cost for a construction company?
Pricing depends on the number of active jobs, transaction volume, and whether you need WIP reporting or AIA billing support. Most construction clients are in the $1,500 to $5,000 per month range. We provide a specific quote after a 15-minute assessment of your current setup.

How do you set up job costing in QuickBooks?
We configure your chart of accounts, job/project structure, and cost categories so every expense is tracked to a specific job. If you’re starting from scratch, setup typically takes 1-2 weeks. If you have existing data, we clean it up and build the job cost structure on top of what’s already there.

Can you produce WIP reports for my bonding company?
Yes. We produce work-in-progress schedules monthly that include contract values, costs to date, estimated costs to complete, percent complete, and over/under billing calculations. These reports are formatted to meet the requirements of bonding companies and lenders.

Do you work with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, Sage, Procore, or Foundation?
Yes. We work with QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, and we integrate with construction-specific platforms like Sage 100 Contractor, Procore, and Foundation Software. We adapt to whatever tools your team already uses.

Do you handle 1099 filings for subcontractors?
Yes. We track all subcontractor payments throughout the year and collect W-9s as part of your vendor onboarding process. When January arrives, 1099 preparation and filing is seamless — no scrambling to reconstruct records.

How does the month-end close process work?
We close your books by the 15th of every month. This includes bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, job cost reconciliation, and a complete financial package (P&L by job, balance sheet, cash flow) delivered to your inbox.

Are your team members actual accountants?
Yes. Our team is made up of staff accountants with accounting degrees, and we have CPAs on staff. That means your month-end close, journal entries, financial statement prep, and variance analysis are handled by people who understand accounting at a professional level — not data entry clerks recording transactions.
