Margins live at the job level
A contractor can show a profit overall and still lose money on specific jobs. That only becomes visible when labor, materials, subcontractors and equipment are coded to the project they belong to.
We set up job tracking in your accounting software and keep it current each month, then report profit by job alongside your standard statements. It builds on our monthly bookkeeping and payroll work.

Frequently asked questions
Can you track costs by job?
Yes. Job costing is set up in your accounting software so each project shows income, costs and margin.
How is labor assigned to jobs?
From your timesheets or payroll reports. The quality of job costing depends on the labor data you provide, and we explain exactly what we need.
Do you handle subcontractor payments?
We record and categorize subcontractor bills and payments. Collecting tax forms and compliance documents stays with you unless agreed.
Do you do retainage and progress billing?
Where your software supports it, and where confirmed in your scope. We will tell you honestly during the consultation.
