Bookkeeping for Lake Shore Contractors and Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and job costing for Lake Shore businesses. Monthly financials, payroll, and construction accounting from a nearby Utah County firm.

Bookkeeping for Lake Shore Businesses

Lake Shore may be a smaller community, but the contractors and trades businesses here face the same challenges as operations in larger cities. Jobs to track, crews to pay, materials to purchase, and financials that need to stay current. The difference is there aren’t many local options for accounting help that actually understands construction work.

We’re a small business bookkeeper in American Fork that specializes in contractors and tradespeople. Everything happens remotely, which means Lake Shore businesses get the same level of service as someone down the street from our office. Monthly bookkeeping, job costing, payroll, and catch-up work for books that have fallen behind.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly financial statements. Your books stay closed and current every month without you spending evenings sorting through receipts.

Construction Job Costing

Costs tracked by job so you know which projects made money and which ones didn’t. Real numbers for bidding future work instead of guessing based on what feels right.

Payroll Services

Pay runs processed, taxes calculated and deposited, quarterly filings handled. Your crew gets paid on schedule and you stop worrying about withholding deadlines.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books that haven’t been touched in months get cleaned up and brought current. We sort through the backlog, fix the errors, and give you a clean starting point.

Lake Shore Businesses We Work With

The western shore of Utah Lake has a mix of residential properties, agricultural land, and the businesses that serve both. Contractors doing new construction and remodels. Excavation and concrete work on properties with space to build. Landscaping and outdoor services for homeowners with acreage. These are the businesses that benefit most from what we do.

If you’ve been managing your own books and realized it’s taking time away from actual work, or if you’re tired of tax season being a scramble to piece together records, we’re set up to take that off your plate.

Contractors and Trades

General contractors, remodelers, and specialty trades working jobs throughout Utah County. Job costing that shows profit by project so you know what to bid on and what to walk away from.

Site Work and Concrete

Excavation, foundations, concrete, and paving contractors. Heavy equipment costs tracked properly and job profitability calculated including equipment hours and material usage.

Outdoor and Property Services

Landscaping, lawn care, irrigation, and fencing contractors. Seasonal revenue patterns managed with books that stay current year-round, not just when things slow down.

Small Growing Businesses

Service businesses and local operations that have outgrown the shoebox of receipts approach. Clean monthly financials that show where the business actually stands.

Common Questions

Why would I work with a firm in American Fork?

Lake Shore is about 20 minutes from our American Fork office. But more importantly, bookkeeping happens digitally. Bank feeds, receipts, reports. Location matters less than whether your bookkeeper understands your industry. We specialize in construction and trades, which is what most Lake Shore businesses need.

Do you work with smaller contractors?

Yes. We work with one-truck operations up through established crews. If you're running jobs and need to know whether you're making money on them, we can help. You don't need to be a large company to benefit from proper job costing.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month. Your exact price depends on transaction volume and whether you need job costing. We quote flat monthly rates after learning about your business.

My books are a few months behind. Can you fix that?

Yes. We do catch-up work to get you current before starting monthly service. Most clients come to us with some backlog. We clean it up and then keep things current going forward.

How does remote bookkeeping actually work?

You connect your bank and credit card feeds to QuickBooks. We access that data, categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and close your books each month. You get financial reports without having to drop off paperwork anywhere.
