How advisory works for contractors
Priced to the size of your business. Books, payroll, and the Dash included.
1
We start from your real numbers
Your books, payroll, and sales brought current and live on the Dash.
2
Every fix gets a dollar value
We find where money leaks and work the fixes in order, biggest first.
3
We meet on a set schedule
Advisory sessions with the numbers in front of us both, each ending with the next move.
4
Your books come with it
Monthly books, payroll, and sales tax handled, and the Dash on your phone.
You leave your first review with a plan and a dollar figure on every fix. It's yours to keep, whether you hire us or not. If we don't think the work will pay for itself, we'll tell you before you hire us.
What it looks like in practice
The same system runs in every business we work with: clean books, the right numbers in front of the owner, and fixes made in order of dollar value. Our average client grows net profit by more than 10% in their first six months. See some of our results.
Bookkeeping for construction companies
Know which jobs make money before you bid the next one.
Progress billing, retainage, materials, subs, and jobs that run for months. We track profit by job and keep your books, payroll, and 1099s current.
Where construction books go wrong
And how we fix each one.
The bank account looks fine
Until it doesn't. Deposits and draws for next month's work hide the jobs that lost money this month.
How we fix itDeposits and draws tracked to their jobs, so money in the bank is never mistaken for profit.
Billed ahead, or behind
Progress bills don't match the work done, so the books call a job profitable when it's really behind.
How we fix itEvery open job shows billed against earned, so a job falling behind shows up before it finishes.
Every job feels profitable
Without job costing, a few bad jobs hide in the totals and you keep bidding them the same way.
How we fix itJob costing on every job, with materials, labor, and subs, so you bid the next one from real numbers.
The January 1099 scramble
Every year it's a hunt for W-9s and totals from every sub you paid.
How we fix itW-9s collected when you hire a sub and payments tracked all year, so January is a report, not a hunt.
The numbers you'll watch
On your phone, in the Dash, every month.
Gross margin by job
Job revenue minus materials, labor, and subs
Shows which jobs to chase and which to bid higher.
Billed vs. earned
What you've billed on open jobs against the work actually done
Catches jobs that are behind before they finish at a loss.
Retainage owed
Retainage held back on finished and open jobs
Money that's yours, waiting to be collected.
Net profit
What's left after jobs and overhead
Tells you whether the bids are working.

Common questions
Can you do job costing in QuickBooks?
Yes. We set it up with projects or classes so every cost lands on the right job.
Do you track retainage and progress billing?
Yes. Every open job shows what's been billed, what's been earned, and what's still held back, so nothing owed to you gets forgotten.
Do you handle 1099s?
With Books and payroll. We track payments to subs all year and collect W-9s up front, so January is quiet.
We need equipment financing or a bonding line. Can you help?
Yes. We build the package a lender or surety asks for before you apply. See Lender-Ready Books.
