Bookkeeping for Construction and contractors.

Project-based work needs project-based books. When revenue and costs are tracked per job, you can see which projects make money — and which ones quietly don’t.

How the bookkeeping works

• Income and direct costs recorded against each project, with materials, labor, and subcontractors kept separate.
• Subcontractor payments organized with the records your tax preparer needs at year-end.
• Unpaid invoices and retention tracked, so nothing slips between billing and collection.
• A monthly job-profit review showing revenue, costs, and margin per project.
