The Problem

Contractors are great at their trade.
Bookkeeping is not a trade.

Most contractors spend 8-12 hours a month chasing receipts, logging expenses, and trying to figure out where the money went. That is time on the job site.

01

You cannot see your real profit per job

Without organized books you have no idea which jobs are actually making you money and which ones are eating your margins.

We record every transaction so you see exactly what each job costs.
02

Tax season is always a scramble

Shoebox receipts and missing invoices mean your CPA charges extra for clean-up — and you still worry about what got missed.

We keep your records tax-ready all year. Your CPA gets clean books.
03

Subcontractor payments are a mess

Tracking what you owe subs, what material suppliers are due, and what clients still owe you is a full time job by itself.

We track every vendor payment and outstanding invoice for you.
04

Your current bookkeeper does not understand the trades

Generic bookkeepers do not know the difference between a draw schedule and a progress billing. We do.

We specialize in contractors. We speak your language.
