Most bookkeepers treat a contractor like any other small business — one big bucket of income and expenses. I track your books by job, so you can see the profit on every project, catch the ones that are bleeding, and bid the next one right.
If any of these sound like your business, your books aren't built for construction — and it's costing you in missed deductions, underbid jobs, or decisions made on numbers you don't fully trust.
Revenue looks fine, but you can't say which jobs actually made money and which quietly lost it. So every new bid is a guess.
Everything lands in a single "expenses" bucket instead of being tracked by job — so profit per project is invisible.
Chasing W-9s and sorting which subs need a 1099 at the last minute, hoping nothing gets missed.
The books haven't been reconciled in a while, and the thought of catching it all up keeps getting pushed to "later."
Local to Reno/Sparks and working with contractors remotely nationwide. As a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, I keep your books clean, current, and organized the way construction actually works.
Behind on your books? I rebuild and reconcile a year or more of contractor records — materials, subs, and draws — until your numbers are accurate and organized.
Categorized transactions, reconciled accounts, and clean statements every month — so you always know where your business and your cash stand.
Set up the right way for a contractor from day one — a chart of accounts built around your jobs, materials, subcontractors, and labor.
Profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow turned into a clear read on how your business is really doing — so you price your next job with confidence.
I focus purely on your books — and I partner with a trusted enrolled agent for payroll and taxes — so each piece is handled by a specialist, not one person doing everything half-well.
Organized, reconciled books and a clean handoff to your tax pro — no last-minute April scramble, and no scrambling to track down 1099s.
Every engagement starts with a Financial Health Review, so you get a real quote — never a guess or an open-ended hourly bill.
A written findings report on exactly what's going on in your QuickBooks and what it takes to fix it, in five business days. Book your cleanup within 30 days and the full $497 credits toward it. This is where every new client starts.
Ongoing categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and monthly reports you can actually read — so you always know which jobs made money and what's in the bank. Your price depends on transaction volume and number of accounts, quoted up front.
Months behind? Loans or merchant cash advances tangled in the ledger? Balances nobody can explain? That's my specialty. Because no two messes are alike, your cleanup is quoted after your Financial Health Review — a fixed price in writing.
Done-right-the-first-time QBO setup for new businesses, including a chart of accounts built for your industry and opening balances entered correctly. Three tiers by complexity — far cheaper than a cleanup later.
Bookkeeping services and general information only — not CPA, tax, legal, or financial advice.
