Specialized Construction & Trades Accounting

 We already know your business.

Outsourced Accounting Services for Construction Companies

Construction accounting is difficult due to the complexity of the industry.  It often includes a high volume of financial transactions (invoices, pay applications, credit card charges, change orders, payroll), multiple projects, numerous vendors and subcontractors, employees, crews, and clients.  All of these require attention to guarantee that all expenses, costs, and revenues are accurately tracked.  Inefficient accounting process often cause owners to lose track of the project's progress or fail to identify cost overruns.

​

Our specialized construction accounting professionals  come with decades of experience.  Our services can be tailored to your company's needs at a fraction of the cost compared to hiring a dedicated in-house accounting team.

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Construction accounting is different

Generic accounting isn't enough.

Most accountants don't understand construction. The ones who do know that the real work happens between the field and the balance sheet — and that's exactly where we live.

JOB COSTING

You don't know which jobs are actually making money

Revenue looks fine. But without job-level cost tracking integrated to your field data, you're managing the business from a rearview mirror. By the time you know a job went wrong, it's already closed.

WIP & BONDING

Your WIP isn't believable to your surety

Most bond conversations don't break down because of losses. They break down because the WIP isn't believable. Monthly, PM-driven WIP reporting changes the entire underwriting conversation — and your bonding capacity.

CASH FLOW

Revenue is growing but cash is tighter than ever

Growth in construction ties up cash in receivables, underbillings, and retainage. Without the financial infrastructure to manage it, more revenue means more pressure — not more freedom. Cash flow mapped to your backlog changes this.

SERVICE TIERS

Three levels of service.

One firm that knows construction.

These tiers represent our typical engagement structures — every client is different. We offer fully tailored engagements and à la carte services for contractors whose needs don't fit neatly into a single tier. The best starting point is a conversation.

We provide the construction accounting expertise you need to effectively manage your business.

Robust bookkeeping and accounting are essential for construction companies, just as much as project management, estimating, and field labour.  Construction companies need to monitor job costs, track profit and losses for each project, manage payroll for employees, and bill clients for each project that is in progress.  These special requirements should be overseen by specialized construction accounting professionals with industry expertise and experience.
