Bookkeeping for Capitol Hill Contractors and Businesses

Bookkeeping and job costing for Capitol Hill contractors and small businesses. Serving Salt Lake City's historic neighborhood.

Bookkeeping for Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill sits just north of downtown Salt Lake City, home to some of the oldest residential architecture in the valley. The Victorian homes, craftsman bungalows, and early 1900s buildings that line these streets create steady work for contractors who specialize in renovation and restoration. If you’re doing that work, you need books that track costs at the job level so you know whether those projects are actually profitable.

We’re a bookkeeper based in American Fork that specializes in construction accounting. Whether you’re a contractor renovating historic homes in Capitol Hill or a service business working throughout Salt Lake City, we handle the financial back office so you can focus on operations.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly financial statements. Your books stay current and accurate without you spending evenings catching up on QuickBooks.

Construction Job Costing

Track labor, materials, and subcontractor costs by project. Job costing that shows which renovation projects make money and which ones ate into your margins.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If your books are months behind because you’ve been too busy on job sites, we get them current. Reconstruct what’s missing, organize what’s there, and establish a clean starting point.

Payroll Processing

Pay your crew on time with tax deposits and filings handled. Quarterly reports, W-2s, and Utah withholding all managed so you’re not scrambling with payroll deadlines.

Capitol Hill Businesses We Work With

The historic homes in Capitol Hill need constant attention. Older plumbing, outdated electrical, original woodwork that requires skilled restoration. Contractors who work here deal with projects that don’t follow standard timelines or material costs. A 1920s bungalow renovation isn’t the same as new construction in the suburbs, and your books need to reflect that complexity.

We work with contractors and service businesses throughout Salt Lake City. If you’ve reached the point where doing your own books costs more in time than it saves in money, we’re set up to take that off your plate.

Renovation Contractors

General contractors and remodelers working on Capitol Hill’s older housing stock. Job costing that accounts for the surprises that come with historic renovation and change orders that shift project scope.

Interior Trades

Painters, flooring installers, drywall contractors, and finish carpentry specialists restoring original millwork and trim. We track costs across multiple smaller jobs so you know your real margins.

MEP Contractors

Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians updating systems in older homes. Bringing 100-year-old houses up to code creates accounting complexity we understand.

Landscaping and Outdoor Services

Landscapers and outdoor contractors maintaining and improving Capitol Hill properties. From seasonal maintenance to hardscape installation, we keep your books organized across your client base.
