Bookkeeping for University District Businesses

Bookkeeping for contractors and property managers in Provo's University district. Job costing, rental accounting, and tax-ready records.

Bookkeeping for the University District

The University area runs on rental housing. Thousands of BYU students need places to live, and that demand creates opportunities for property owners, managers, and the contractors who keep those units in shape. Both sides of that equation need accurate books. Property managers tracking income and expenses across multiple units. Contractors managing renovation projects between tenants.

We’re a contractor bookkeeper in American Fork, just up I-15 from Provo. We specialize in construction accounting and work with property investors who need their rental finances organized. If you’re running a business in the University district and the books have become more than you want to handle yourself, we can help.

Construction Job Costing

Job costing that shows profit by project. Whether you’re renovating a fourplex or handling maintenance across several properties, you’ll know which jobs made money and which ones didn’t.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show where your business actually stands instead of a pile of receipts you’ll get to eventually.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books that fell behind during a busy semester or construction season. We sort through the backlog, organize what’s there, and deliver records you can actually use going forward.

Tax-Ready Records

Financials organized for your CPA. Proper categories, supporting documentation, clean handoff. Tax season becomes a process instead of a scramble to find receipts.

University Area Businesses We Work With

Student housing dominates the University district economy. Some property owners manage a few units themselves. Others have grown into full property management operations. Both need books that track income by unit, handle maintenance expenses, and stay ready for taxes. And behind all those rental properties are contractors doing the work that keeps them rentable.

We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping but not big enough to justify a full-time employee handling it. That’s the gap we fill.

Property Managers and Landlords

Real estate investors and property managers with student rentals near BYU. We track income and expenses by property, handle the books for multiple units, and keep records organized for tax time.

Renovation Contractors

General contractors and remodelers working on student housing. Turn projects between tenants, unit upgrades, and bathroom remodels. Job costing that shows whether each project actually made money.

Maintenance Trades

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and painters who service rental properties in the district. High volume work across multiple properties needs books that can keep up.

Small Businesses

Service businesses operating in or near the University area. If you’ve grown past the point where doing your own books makes sense, we handle the transition to professional bookkeeping.

Common Questions

Do you work with businesses in the University area?

Yes. We serve businesses throughout the University district and greater Provo area. Our office is in American Fork, a short drive up I-15. Most of our work happens remotely regardless of location.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month. Your actual rate depends on transaction volume and complexity. Property managers with multiple units or contractors with several active jobs will be on the higher end. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.

Do you work with landlords who only have a few properties?

Yes. Many of our clients started with a handful of units before growing. We set up books that scale as you add properties.

My books are several months behind. Can you help?

That's a common starting point. We do catch-up work to get your records current, then move into monthly service to keep them that way.

Do you understand construction accounting?

It's our specialty. Our founder spent years in the construction industry before focusing on accounting. We handle job costing, progress billing, and the financial tracking contractors actually need.
