The Process
How it works
Here's exactly what working with us looks like, step by step, so you always know what's happening with your numbers.
No more guessing.
They know their numbers before every decision.
They did it with ALL Accounting.
Our monthly accounting process keeps your financial picture accurate and current, not months behind.
- Receipt and document capture. Receipts, bills, vendor invoices, and supporting documentation are collected and organized throughout the month.
- Transaction categorization. Every transaction is reviewed and coded correctly.
- Job costing review. Direct costs are assigned to the right projects so you can see how individual jobs are performing.
- Payroll review. Payroll activity is reviewed and reconciled to the books.
- Reconcile the books. Bank, credit card, loan, and key balance sheet accounts are reconciled each month.
- Management reports and review meeting. Once the books are closed we prepare reporting beyond a basic P&L (balance sheet, cash flow, and an A/R and A/P review) and walk through it with you.

Built for contractors
For a contractor, accounting should not just tell you what happened months ago. It should give you an accurate, up-to-date picture of what is happening today.
Our accounting process is built around the details that matter to construction businesses:
- Receipt capture and documentation so we know what was purchased, why, and which job it belongs to.
- Detailed payroll reporting to understand wages, taxes, employer costs, and the true labor cost behind your projects.
- Accounts Receivable management to track what is billed, what is outstanding, and where collections need attention.
- Accounts Payable management to see upcoming obligations and plan for cash needs.
- Job costing to connect materials, labor, subcontractors, and other direct costs to individual projects.
- Detailed financial reporting that goes beyond a basic P&L into profitability, cash flow, the balance sheet, and project performance.
Instead of finding out months later that a job was not profitable or cash is getting tight, sound accounting gives you reliable information through the year, while there is still time to respond. It does not just keep you organized. It gives you the real-time clarity to run the business with confidence.
Real results
What changes for our clients
Client win: from financial chaos to clarity and control.
When this client came to us, one business with three divisions was being run across two accounting systems. There was no consolidated view, payroll reporting was two quarters behind, personal and business expenses were mixed, and the S-corp owner was not running payroll for herself. On top of that were significant historical tax liabilities and no system for estimated tax payments.
This was not a QuickBooks tidy-up. The financial foundation needed rebuilding. We consolidated all three divisions into one system, separated personal and business activity, caught up overdue payroll reporting, and set up bi-weekly payroll for the owner. We also helped address outstanding California filings and payments, which ultimately let her get her state license reinstated.
With the foundation in place, we shifted from fixing the past to planning ahead, establishing estimated tax payments and using her numbers to evaluate real decisions. She went from fragmented systems and limited visibility to organized books, better compliance, meaningful reporting, and numbers she can actually use. That is what "Know your numbers. Own your future." looks like in practice.
Questions contractors ask us
Straight answers to what contractors ask us most. Don't see yours? Get in touch.
What construction expenses can I deduct?
Many ordinary and necessary costs of running a construction business may be deductible: materials, subcontractor costs, tools and equipment, certain vehicle expenses, insurance, licenses, software, and other business expenses. How an expense is treated can depend on what you bought, how it was used, and your tax situation. A major equipment purchase, for example, may be treated differently from everyday job supplies. The key is keeping good records and categorizing consistently through the year so your tax professional has accurate information at filing time.
How should Home Depot or Lowe's purchases be categorized when they relate to different jobs?
Do not categorize everything by where you bought it. One supplier receipt could include job materials, small tools, equipment, or general supplies, and those may be treated differently. When materials are for a specific job, assign them to that customer or project in QuickBooks Online, and split the receipt when one purchase covers multiple jobs. Good job costing starts with knowing what you bought and which job it was for, not just which store.
Why does my payroll provider pull wages a week early?
Providers like Gusto or ADP often withdraw funds before payday because they need time to process direct deposits, payroll taxes, benefits, and union obligations. That means the cash for payroll can leave your account several days before employees are paid, so once payroll is submitted you should not assume those funds are still available for other expenses. This is exactly why cash-flow planning matters for contractors: knowing your payroll schedule lets you make sure the cash is there when it is pulled.
Do I need to issue a 1099 to this subcontractor?
Vendors that are sole proprietors or LLCs and were paid $600 or more by check, Zelle, cash, or ACH generally need a 1099 to avoid IRS non-filing penalties.
We're busy, so why aren't we making more money?
More work does not automatically mean more profit. Revenue can grow while profitability falls because of underpriced jobs, labor overruns, rising material costs, excessive overtime, unbilled change orders, poor job costing, or overhead growing faster than revenue. Revenue alone is not enough. What matters is what it cost to produce that revenue and how much you actually kept.
Why do I owe so much in taxes?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer, so we start by looking at the full financial picture: entity type, payroll, earnings, expenses, deductions, and overall activity. There are often opportunities to reduce the burden through planning. Our goal is not to avoid taxes, but to make sure you take the deductions available to you, understand why you owe what you owe, and stay compliant to avoid penalties and interest. We want taxes to be something you plan for, not something that surprises you.
