Bookkeeping for Layton Contractors & Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and job costing for Layton contractors and tradespeople. Monthly financials, payroll, and construction accounting.

Bookkeeping for Layton Businesses

Layton has grown fast. Davis County keeps adding rooftops, commercial projects, and the service businesses that follow. Contractors and tradespeople working this market need financials that keep pace with the work, not books that fall months behind while you’re busy on job sites.

We provide monthly bookkeeping, job costing, and payroll for Layton businesses. Everything handled remotely from American Fork so you’re not scheduling office visits or waiting on someone’s availability. You get accurate numbers delivered consistently without the overhead of hiring staff.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly close. Your books stay current with P&L and balance sheet reports delivered every period so you can see where the business stands.

Construction Job Costing

Costs tracked by project, phase, and cost code. You see profitability at the job level instead of guessing. Essential for general contractors and specialty trades bidding competitive work.

Payroll Processing

Full payroll service including tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid correctly and on time without you managing the calculations and deadlines yourself.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books that have fallen behind need cleanup before regular service can start. We reconstruct the history, fix errors, and deliver a clean starting point so monthly bookkeeping runs smoothly.

Layton Industries We Serve

Hill Air Force Base provides economic stability, but Layton’s growth comes from the same forces driving the rest of the Wasatch Front. New housing developments, commercial construction, and the trades that make it all happen. We work with contractor bookkeepers in American Fork who understand this work because that’s where we come from.

Our clients are contractors, tradespeople, and small business owners doing $50K to several million in revenue. Businesses that have outgrown doing the books themselves but don’t need a full-time accounting employee.

General Contractors

Residential builders, remodelers, and commercial contractors working throughout Davis County. Job costing that shows which projects make money so your estimates reflect actual costs.

Specialty Trades

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, concrete, and excavation contractors. We track labor, materials, and equipment costs by job so you know your margins before the next bid goes out.

Real Estate Investors

Fix and flip operators, rental property owners, and small developers. We track rehab costs by property and manage the financials across multiple projects so you can see performance clearly.

Service Businesses

Landscaping, cleaning, property maintenance, and other service companies. Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your finances organized as the business grows beyond what you can track yourself.

Common Questions

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

Bookkeeping is digital work. We handle everything remotely through secure file sharing and online communication. Most Layton clients find this more convenient than driving to meetings. When face-to-face is needed, we're a straight shot down I-15.

What does job costing actually show me?

It breaks down profitability by project instead of lumping everything together. You see which jobs made money and which ones didn't, so your next bid is based on real numbers instead of guesswork.

What's the cost for monthly bookkeeping?

Starting at $199 monthly. Your actual cost depends on transaction volume and whether you need job costing or payroll. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.

How long does it take to get started?

Usually within one week. If your books are months behind, we start with cleanup work to get you current. If they're already in decent shape, we jump into regular monthly service.

My books are a mess from last year. Can you fix that?

Yes. Catch-up work is common, especially for contractors who were too busy running jobs to keep up with the books. We get things sorted and then keep them current going forward.
