Bookkeeping for Draper Contractors and Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and job costing for Draper contractors, trades, and growing businesses. Construction accounting expertise from a firm 15 minutes away.

Bookkeeping for Draper Businesses

Draper sits at the southern edge of the Salt Lake Valley where residential growth has been steady for years. Tech companies get the attention, but contractors, trades, and service businesses are the ones building and maintaining the city. These businesses need books that show where the money actually goes.

We provide bookkeeping services from American Fork for Draper businesses that need more than basic transaction tracking. Job costing, payroll, accounts payable, and monthly financials. Construction accounting expertise without the overhead of a downtown Salt Lake firm.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month with transactions properly categorized and accounts reconciled. Financial statements that show you where the business stands so decisions are based on real numbers.

Construction Job Costing

Track costs by project, phase, and cost code. Job costing that tells you which jobs made money and which ones ate into your margins. Essential for bidding accurately.

Payroll Services

Pay runs processed, taxes deposited, quarterly filings submitted. W-2s at year end. Your crew gets paid on time and you stop tracking payroll deadlines yourself.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for months because you’ve been too busy running jobs? We sort through the backlog, reconstruct what’s missing, and get you current.

Draper Businesses We Work With

Draper’s economy runs on more than software companies. Residential construction stays active with new builds and remodels throughout the city. Landscapers, trades, and specialty contractors serve established neighborhoods and new developments. These businesses need books that can handle multiple active jobs and show profitability at the project level.

We work with Draper businesses doing $100K to a few million in revenue. Companies that have outgrown doing books themselves but don’t need a full-time accountant. If you’re making financial decisions on gut feel because your numbers aren’t reliable, we can fix that.

General Contractors

General contractors building custom homes, handling remodels, and running commercial projects across the valley. Job costing by phase and cost code so you know actual margins before the next bid.

Trades and Subcontractors

HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and specialty trades working on Draper projects. Books that track each job separately so you can see which work is profitable and which is costing you.

Landscaping and Outdoor Services

Landscapers, irrigation installers, and outdoor contractors serving Draper’s residential market. Seasonal revenue swings and equipment costs tracked properly month to month.

Real Estate Investors

Fix and flip investors, rental property owners, and small developers. Entity-level tracking and profit by property so you know which deals actually worked.

Common Questions

You're in American Fork. Why would a Draper business work with you?

We're about 15 minutes away and specialize in construction accounting. Most bookkeeping happens through screens anyway. What matters is whether your bookkeeper understands your business, not whether they're in the same zip code.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month depending on transaction volume and complexity. If you need job costing, that affects pricing too. We quote exact numbers after reviewing your situation.

Do you only work with construction companies?

Construction and trades are our specialty, but we work with other small businesses in Draper too. If your business is growing and you need clean books, we can probably help.

Can you set up job costing in QuickBooks?

Yes. Helaman is a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. We configure job costing to match how you actually run projects so the reports tell you something useful.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up work is common for busy contractors. We reconstruct what's missing, get everything current, and then keep it that way with monthly service.
