Bookkeeping for Provost Contractors and Trades

Bookkeeping for contractors and trades in the Provost area of Provo. Job costing, monthly books, and payroll from a construction accounting specialist.

Bookkeeping for Provost Contractors

Provost and the surrounding Provo area have seen steady construction activity over the past several years. Residential projects, commercial buildouts, and renovation work keep contractors busy. But staying busy and staying profitable are two different things. That’s where proper bookkeeping and job costing come in.

We’re a construction bookkeeper in American Fork, about 15 minutes from Provost. We work with general contractors, subcontractors, and tradespeople throughout Utah Valley. Our focus is construction accounting because that’s what we know. The founder spent years in the industry before starting TRUEquity, so we understand how construction businesses actually run.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, bank accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that reflect what’s actually happening in your business instead of a jumbled mess of uncategorized expenses.

Job Costing

Every expense tied to the right project. Labor, materials, subs, equipment. When a job closes, you know exactly what it cost and what you made. No more guessing whether a project was profitable.

Payroll

Payroll processing with tax deposits and quarterly filings handled. Your crew gets paid on time and you stop worrying about whether withholdings are calculated correctly.

Catch-Up Work

If your books are months behind, we start there. We organize the backlog, categorize transactions, and get everything current before moving to monthly service.

Contractors and Trades We Work With

Most contractors we work with tried handling their own books for a while. It works at first, but as the business grows, the bookkeeping falls behind. Tax time becomes stressful because the records are incomplete. Bidding new work is based on gut feel because there’s no clear data on what past jobs actually cost.

We work with contractors doing $300k to $3M in annual revenue. Businesses that need professional bookkeeping but aren’t big enough to hire a full-time controller. If that sounds like your situation, we’re set up to help.

General Contractors

Home builders, remodelers, and commercial contractors working projects in Provo and throughout Utah County. Construction job costing that tracks costs by phase so you know exactly where margin gets made or lost.

Mechanical and Electrical

HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors running service calls and project work. We track job profitability whether it’s a $200 repair or a $50,000 install.

Specialty Trades

Roofers, painters, concrete contractors, flooring installers. Trades that bid project work and need to know their true costs. Books that support bonding applications and equipment financing when you need them.

Outdoor and Property Services

Landscapers, fence builders, pool contractors. Seasonal businesses that need bookkeeping structured around how your work actually flows throughout the year.
