Bookkeeping for Salt Lake County Contractors

Bookkeeping and job costing for contractors and tradespeople across Salt Lake County. See which jobs make money and which ones don't.

Bookkeeping for Salt Lake County Contractors

We provide bookkeeping for contractors and tradespeople across Salt Lake County. As a contractor bookkeeper in American Fork, we understand how construction businesses work and what kind of financial information actually helps you run the company better.

Salt Lake County is the center of construction activity in Utah. Commercial projects downtown, residential builds in the suburbs, renovation work throughout the valley. Contractors here are busy. The books need to keep up with the pace of work, and they need to show you more than just totals at the end of the year.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that reflect what actually happened instead of a mess to untangle at tax time.

Construction Job Costing

Job costing that tracks labor, materials, and overhead by project. You see which jobs made money and which ones ate into your margins. That changes how you bid the next one.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months behind? A few years? We clean up the backlog and get everything current. Most contractors we work with started here because they were too busy working to keep up with the paperwork.

Payroll Services

We handle paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid on time. You stop worrying about payroll tax deadlines and calculations.

Salt Lake County Businesses We Serve

From Murray to West Jordan to Draper, contractors throughout Salt Lake County need books that show profitability by job. Not just whether the company made money overall, but which projects contributed and which ones cost more than they should have.

We work with contractors and tradespeople doing anywhere from $100K to several million in annual revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping with job costing. Not so big that you have an in-house accounting department.

General Contractors

General contractors, home builders, and remodelers working across Salt Lake County. We track costs by job so you know your true margins before you price the next bid.

Specialty Trades

HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and other trades. Whether you’re a subcontractor on large projects or handling your own jobs, we keep the books organized by project and customer.

Real Estate Development

Developers and fix-and-flip investors with multiple properties in progress. We track costs by property so you know where you stand before the sale closes.

Growing Small Businesses

Not every client is in construction. We also work with service businesses, home services companies, and other small businesses in Salt Lake County that need monthly bookkeeping and clean financials.

Common Questions

Do you work with contractors throughout Salt Lake County?

Yes. Sandy, Murray, West Jordan, Draper, South Jordan, Taylorsville, West Valley City, and everywhere else in the county. We work remotely so your specific location doesn't matter.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote flat rates based on transaction volume and complexity. Job costing adds more depending on how many active projects you're running.

Can you meet in person?

Yes. We're based in American Fork, about 30 minutes south of most Salt Lake County locations. Most clients prefer working remotely because it's faster, but we're available to meet if that's helpful for you.

What is job costing and why does it matter?

Job costing tracks income and expenses by project instead of lumping everything together. It shows you which jobs made money and which ones didn't. For contractors, that information changes how you bid future work.

My books are behind. Can you help?

That's how most contractors come to us. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move to monthly service so it doesn't fall behind again.
