THE WORK BEHIND THE WORK

A full schedule should come with a clear financial picture.

Between estimates, crews, material purchases, and customer questions, bookkeeping can wait until the evening. Receipts pile up. Invoices slip through the cracks. And a busy month does not always mean a profitable one.

My contractor bookkeeping services help turn those daily transactions into useful information, with organized records and reporting you can understand.

Invoicing & customer balances

Support estimates and invoices, record payments, and track open customer balances so you know what has been billed and what remains unpaid.

Organize supplier and subcontractor bills, support your payment approval process, and maintain W-9 and payment records for year-end 1099 coordination.

Payroll & labor cost tracking

Process payroll using approved hours and help assign labor costs to jobs when your payroll and time-tracking setup supports it.

Cleanup & monthly reporting
