Job costs tracked as the job runs, not after
Costs get coded against the right job and phase as invoices and timesheets come in, so you see where a job stands before it closes, not after.
Most construction bookkeeping firms still run job costing, AP, and payroll by hand, one invoice and one timesheet at a time, which is exactly why WIP reports show up late and job costs show up wrong. We run your construction bookkeeping as an outsourced service built software-first: the lowest cost structure that comes from not paying a full-time in-house bookkeeper, the highest accuracy we can build toward on job costing and retainage, and reporting that's current instead of a month behind.
A contractor outsourcing bookkeeping is usually trying to escape two things: the cost of a dedicated in-house bookkeeper who may not even know construction-specific accounting (retainage, certified payroll, percentage-of-completion billing), and the lag of only finding out a job went over budget after it's done. A generalist bookkeeping service fixes neither, because it still runs by hand and still doesn't know construction accounting specifically, so the same blind spots just show up later.
We're not a bigger version of the construction bookkeeping team you'd hire in-house. Your construction bookkeeping runs through software built for this specifically, highest accuracy, lowest cost, and the fastest turnaround we can build for construction bookkeeping, with people reviewing the exceptions instead of keying in every line by hand. You keep running the system you already use; we handle the construction bookkeeping work inside it.
Costs get coded against the right job and phase as invoices and timesheets come in, so you see where a job stands before it closes, not after.
Bills get paid, draws get billed and collected, and payroll (including certified and prevailing-wage where it applies) gets run, without carrying the salary and training cost of an in-house bookkeeper.
Work-in-progress reporting, over/under-billing across every active job, stays current instead of getting rebuilt from scratch when a bank or bonding company asks for it.
We work inside whatever construction accounting or general ledger software you already run, QuickBooks, Sage, FOUNDATION, or otherwise, so your bookkeeping doesn't mean adopting a system your office hasn't seen before.
Tell us what your construction bookkeeping process costs you today, in time, errors, or headcount. We'll tell you what it takes to run your construction bookkeeping for you instead.

No hiring, training, turnover, or coverage gaps when someone's out, and your construction bookkeeping runs on software built for accuracy and speed, not a single person's manual pace. We're accountable for the construction bookkeeping result, not the hours someone logged.
Most construction bookkeeping companies still run the work by hand, with a team keying things in one at a time. Ours runs construction bookkeeping on software first, people second, which is why it's faster and more accurate than the traditional construction bookkeeping model, not just cheaper.
No. We run construction bookkeeping inside whatever system of record you already use. Your team keeps working the way it already does; we handle the construction bookkeeping work that currently eats up someone's time inside that same system.
Yes. Tell us what your construction bookkeeping process looks like today and what it's costing you in time or errors. We'll tell you what running your construction bookkeeping this way would take and cost, no pressure either way.
Both, usually. Job costing by job and phase is where construction bookkeeping actually differs from general bookkeeping, so most engagements include it rather than treating it as a separate add-on.
