CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES

1️⃣ Industry Insights: Construction

From large-scale general contractors to specialty subcontractors, construction companies need a firm grip on their financials. These businesses often juggle:

​

• Complex job costing and project-based accounting

• Pages, projects, classes, and location tracking in QuickBooks

• Labor compliance, 1099 contractors, union/non-union issues

• Delayed receivables and front-loaded cash needs

• Inventory control and material cost tracking

• Work-in-progress (WIP) schedules and over/under billing

• Multi-entity setups (GC + DevCo + PropCo)

 

When we reference “contractors,” we’re referring broadly to the construction industry, which includes:

 

General contractors – who manage projects and hire subcontractors
Construction companies – who may employ their own crews or work with subcontracted teams
Specialty contractors – such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing firms
Hybrid firms – that combine in-house staff and 1099 labor

​

Our experience includes both residential and commercial builders, trades, and multi-location firms.

2️⃣ Bookkeeping & Accounting Needs

Construction books require more than just categorizing expenses. We help ensure your books reflect reality:

​

• QuickBooks Online setup or cleanup tailored for construction

• Categorization that supports job costing and profitability

• Tracking labor costs by job, employee class, or service line

• Regular reconciliations for bank, credit card, and loan accounts

• Monthly financials (P&L, Balance Sheet, job costing reports)

 

We also support outsourced payroll integration and contractor payment tracking.
