Learn moreConstruction Accounting & Job Costing
Construction accounting that shows you every job's real margin.
Current books are the starting point. We turn them into something you can run the company on: costs coded to the right jobs, financials prepared the way construction actually works, and a monthly package you will read.
The problem
What we usually find.
Costs land in the wrong place
Labor, materials, and equipment get coded to overhead or the wrong job, so your job reports are fiction by month three.
You find out too late
You learn a job lost money after it closes, when there is nothing left to fix.
Reports nobody uses
A generic P&L tells you the company made money. It does not tell you which crews, jobs, or job types did.
What you get
What is included.
Every engagement is scoped to your company. These are the pieces most clients start with.
- Chart of accounts and job cost codes set up for construction
- Job costing by phase and cost type (labor, materials, subs, equipment)
- Budget vs actual tracking on every open job
- Monthly close and financial statement preparation
- Accounts payable and receivable oversight, including retainage
- A monthly reporting package with a short plain-English summary
The result
What changes for you.
Job-level margins
See gross profit by job while it is still in progress.
Cleaner estimates
Real historical costs feed your next bid.
A faster close
Books closed on a schedule, not whenever there is time.
FAQ
Construction Accounting & Job Costing: common questions.
Can you work with my current bookkeeper?
Yes. If you have a bookkeeper you like, we work alongside them on job costing, monthly review, and financial statements. If you would rather hand off the bookkeeping too, we can handle all of it.
What software do you work in?
We work in QuickBooks Online, often connected to field service software like Jobber or Housecall Pro. We work in your existing systems rather than forcing a switch, and we will tell you honestly if a change would pay for itself.
Can you clean up books that are behind?
Yes. Many engagements start with a catch-up and cleanup so job costs and balances are right before monthly reporting begins. We scope that work up front so you know the cost before we start.
