Sound familiar?

Busy crews. Fuzzy numbers.

You can't tell which jobs made money.

Materials, subs and labor all land in one pile in QuickBooks. You know which jobs felt profitable, but not what each one actually earned after costs.

Deposits and draws make your months swing.

When customer deposits and progress draws are booked as income the day they hit the bank, some months look great and others look terrible. Neither picture is real.

January means chasing W-9s and 1099s.

Subcontractor payments are scattered across checks, cards and apps. Come tax time, you and your CPA are digging through a year of receipts.

What you get

Books built around your jobs.

  • Job costing in QuickBooks

    Every material purchase, sub payment and labor cost tagged to the job it belongs to, so you see real margin by project.

  • Deposits and draws recorded right

    Customer deposits and progress billing tracked properly, so your monthly numbers reflect the work you actually did.

  • Subcontractor tracking and 1099s

    W-9s collected up front and payments tracked all year. 1099 preparation is available at $25+ per contractor.

  • Monthly reconciled books

    Bank and credit card accounts reconciled every month, with a P&L and a plain-English summary on the same date each month.

  • Payroll for small crews

    Payroll processing for up to 5 employees is included in the Standard package, with larger crews available as an add-on.

  • Clean handoff to your CPA

    Reconciled books and a tidy year-end package your CPA can work from, with no scramble in April. Tax preparation stays with your CPA.
