Bookkeeping for Salem Contractors and Small Businesses

Construction bookkeeping and job costing for Salem businesses. Accurate financials for contractors and trades from nearby American Fork.

Bookkeeping for Salem Businesses

Salem has changed a lot in the past decade. What was a quiet town at the base of the mountains is now one of the faster-growing cities in southern Utah County. New neighborhoods, new families, and a steady demand for contractors and trades to build and maintain it all. That growth creates real businesses with real accounting needs.

We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and construction job costing for Salem businesses. Whether you’re a general contractor managing multiple residential builds or a specialty trade working across the valley, we set up financials that show you which jobs actually make money.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that give you a clear picture of where you stand without spending your weekends in QuickBooks.

Job Costing

Cost tracking by project, phase, and cost code. Know which jobs are profitable before they’re finished, not six months later when your CPA tells you the news.

Payroll

We run payroll, handle tax deposits, file quarterly reports, and issue W-2s. You approve hours and we take care of everything else. No more scrambling before payday.

Catch-Up Work

Months or years behind? We’ve seen it. Contractors get busy and the books slip. We clean up the backlog and get you current so you can move forward with accurate numbers.

Salem Industries We Serve

Most of our clients are contractors and trades businesses. That’s our focus and where we add the most value. Our founder worked in construction for years before becoming a construction bookkeeper in American Fork, so we understand how the industry operates and what financial information actually matters to owners in the field.

Salem’s growth has created steady work for builders, remodelers, and every trade that supports residential construction. These businesses need more than basic bookkeeping. They need job-level visibility into costs and margins.

General Contractors

Custom homes, spec builds, remodels. We track costs by job so you know your margins before the project closes out. Financials that hold up when you need bonding or a line of credit.

Specialty Trades

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, and other trades working across southern Utah County. Job costing that shows which projects and which customers are worth your time.

Outdoor and Property Services

New construction means new yards. Landscapers, fence contractors, irrigation installers, and deck builders staying busy with Salem’s development. We track job costs and seasonal cash flow.

Home Services

Pest control, garage door services, handyman businesses. Service-based work that needs clean books and straightforward reporting. We handle the accounting so you can focus on customers.

Common Questions

How close are you to Salem?

We're in American Fork, about 20 minutes north on I-15. Close enough that we know the area well. We work remotely with most clients, so your location doesn't affect the service.

What does bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote flat rates based on transaction volume and complexity. Contractors with job costing needs get pricing that reflects the additional tracking involved.

Do you specialize in construction?

Yes. Our founder spent ten years in the construction industry before focusing on accounting. We understand job costing, progress billing, and the financials contractors actually need.

Can you help if my books are behind?

That's common. We do catch-up work to get everything current, then move to monthly service. Most contractors we work with started in that situation.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. Paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s. We handle it all so you can focus on running jobs instead of chasing payroll deadlines.
