What We Do (Contractor-Ready Accounting)

Tip: Pair this with our Monthly Bookkeeping for a clean monthly close and on-time reports.

Job Costing & WIP (Know Profit by Project)

We set up a job-costing framework that rolls materials, labor, equipment, subs, and overhead into each project so you can price accurately and protect margins.

• Standardized cost codes mapped to your chart of accounts
• Estimate vs. actuals tracking
• WIP schedule to spot over/under billing
• Monthly job profitability reports

Progress Billing & Retainage

We align your invoicing with your contracts: progress-based, percentage-of-completion, or milestone billing. Retainage is tracked end-to-end so cash isn’t left on the table.

• AIA/G702-G703 support & schedule of values mapping
• Retainage receivable/payable tracking
• Change orders & approvals audit trail
• Collections rhythm and AR aging reviews

Texas Sales Tax for Contractors

Texas rules distinguish labor, materials, and how improvements are classified. We set up practical workflows to capture sales-tax obligations correctly and prepare filings on time.

• Material vs. labor treatment workflows
• Exemption/resale documentation organization
• City/county rate application in invoicing
• Filing calendar and review checklist

Have questions about rules? We can reference the Texas Comptroller guidance during setup and document your internal process.

Payroll & Subcontractor Compliance

From time-tracking to certified payroll coordination and 1099s, we keep your workforce reporting tidy.

• Gusto/ADP payroll setup and support
• Certified payroll export/coordination (where required)
• W-9 collection, 1099/1096 preparation
• Insurance/COI tickler tracking
