Running a contracting business never slows down. Projects overlap, subcontractors need to be paid, material costs jump without warning, and the weather can throw timelines off track. On top of that, there’s payroll to process, job costs to track, change orders to manage, retainage to monitor, and taxes to file. It’s easy for the financial side to start slipping behind.
That’s where we step in. Through our dedicated accounting services for contractors, we help general contractors keep their finances organized and stress‑free—without getting lost in endless spreadsheets. From payroll and tax work to cash flow planning and project job costing, we take care of the numbers, so you always know where your business stands.
Whether you’re going after your first major bid or coordinating multiple crews at once, the right accounting partner gives you visibility, control, and stronger profits. We’ll make sure your financial foundation supports the growth you’re aiming for.
Accounting That Makes Sense for General Contractors
Not Sure Where the Money’s Going?
You might be booking projects, but the bank balance tells a different story. You’re not alone—this is common in construction.
Cash flow is lumpy
Progress payments, retainage, and slow payers can leave you scrambling between draws.
Costs are eating into margins
Materials, equipment, fuel, and change orders add up fast—and often go untracked.
Payroll is complex
W-2 crew, 1099 subs, certified payroll, and different job sites mean more room for errors.
