Frequently Asked Questions

What types of contractors do you work with? +

We work with all kinds of contractors including general contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, landscapers, and construction crews.

How much do your accounting services cost? +

Pricing depends on the services needed; some clients require only bookkeeping while others need full tax prep and ongoing support. A free chat is offered to determine a straight answer with no surprises.

Can you help me if my books are messy or behind? +

Yes, most contractors who contact us are behind on their books. We will go through everything, get you caught up, and set up a simple ongoing process.

Do I really need a specialized accountant for my contracting business? +

While not mandatory, a specialized accountant for contractors is beneficial due to different tax situations, such as job costing, subcontractor payments, and material expenses, which can lead to significant savings.

When should I contact you during the year? +

Anytime is fine, but earlier is better. Most people wait until tax season and then panic. Working with us year-round saves more and reduces stress.
