TRUEquity Bookkeeping serves contractors in Provo and throughout Utah County. Based in American Fork, we work with general contractors, tradespeople, and construction companies from Provo to Salt Lake City and across the Wasatch Front. American Fork is about 15 minutes from Provo, so we’re close enough for in-person meetings when needed.

Finding a bookkeeper in your area is straightforward. Finding one who actually understands contractor accounting takes more effort. Most bookkeepers can categorize transactions and reconcile bank accounts, but contractors need more than basic bookkeeping. You need job costing that shows profitability by project, not just for the company as a whole. You need someone who understands how progress billing works, how to track retainage, and how to handle change orders in your accounting system.

The difference shows up in your financial reports. A general bookkeeper produces statements that tell you whether your company made money last month. A bookkeeper with construction experience produces reports that show which jobs made money and which ones lost money. That project-level visibility matters when you’re deciding which types of work to pursue and which to avoid.

When evaluating bookkeepers for contractor work, ask about their construction experience specifically. Ask how they handle job costing in QuickBooks. If they can’t explain their approach clearly or if they’ve never set up job costing before, they’re probably not the right fit regardless of how close their office is to yours.

TRUEquity was founded specifically to serve contractors and construction businesses. As a construction bookkeeper in American Fork, we understand the industry because our founder spent years working in construction before focusing on accounting. That background means we know what matters to contractors and how to set up books that actually help you run your business.
