Full-Service Bookkeeping

Comprehensive monthly bookkeeping including transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and detailed financial reporting.

What This Is

Contractors spend their days on job sites, not behind desks. The receipts pile up in the truck. The invoices sit in email. The bank statements go unopened. Bookkeeping is the thing that always gets pushed to tomorrow, and tomorrow never comes.

This service handles all of it on a monthly basis. We categorize every transaction, reconcile your bank accounts and credit cards, and deliver financial reports that show you where your money actually went. You get clean, accurate books without having to do the work yourself.

Transaction Management

Every expense categorized correctly. Every payment recorded. Every deposit matched to the right customer or job. We work through your accounts systematically so nothing gets missed or miscoded. Your chart of accounts stays organized and consistent month after month.

Reconciliation and Reporting

Bank and credit card accounts reconciled every month. Discrepancies caught and resolved before they become bigger problems. You receive a profit and loss statement and balance sheet that reflect reality, not guesswork.

Why This Matters

A contractor once told us he thought he had a great year until tax time came around. His accountant looked at the numbers and asked where all the money went. He didn’t have an answer. His books were a mess of uncategorized transactions and unreconciled accounts. He couldn’t explain his own business.

Construction is complicated. You’ve got multiple jobs running at once, materials hitting at different times, subs billing on their own schedules. Without organized books, you can’t tell which jobs made money and which ones bled you dry. You end up pricing future work based on gut feeling instead of actual data.

Decisions Without Data

You can’t improve what you can’t measure. If you don’t know your actual costs on past jobs, you’re guessing on future bids. You might be leaving money on the table or losing it on every project without even realizing it.

The Year-End Scramble

Messy books mean expensive surprises when taxes are due. Your CPA charges more to sort through the chaos. You miss deductions because you can’t prove expenses. Estimated payments become actual guesses. The stress compounds every year you let it slide.

What Changes

Your books stay current. Every month, accounts are reconciled and reports are ready. You can look at your profit and loss statement and know the numbers are right. Questions about cash flow or job profitability have real answers instead of shrugs.

You stop carrying the mental weight of knowing you should update the books. That task is handled. Your energy goes back to running your business, building your team, and winning better projects instead of worrying about the paperwork stacking up in the office.

Clear Financial Picture

Monthly reports show you what actually happened. Revenue, expenses, profit margins. You can spot trends, catch problems early, and make decisions based on real numbers. When tax season comes, your accountant gets clean data instead of a shoebox of receipts.

Foundation for Growth

Clean books open doors. Banks want to see organized financials before approving equipment loans or lines of credit. When you’re ready to take on bigger projects, hire more crews, or bring on a partner, the documentation is already in place.
