How We Work With Construction Companies

Key Areas of Construction and Contractor Accounting
Job Costing and Project Tracking
We track labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs for each job. Accurate job costing helps you understand which projects are profitable and which need attention before losses grow.
Progress Billing and Retainage Tracking
Construction billing often involves progress invoices and retainage. We track billed amounts, collections, and retainage balances clearly so nothing is overlooked.
Payroll and Labor Cost Allocation
Labor is one of the largest costs in construction. We track payroll, overtime, benefits, and labor burden and allocate costs to the correct jobs.
Subcontractor and Vendor Management
We record subcontractor invoices and payments accurately, helping avoid overpayments, disputes, and compliance issues.
Equipment and Overhead Cost Tracking
Equipment costs, fuel, insurance, and overhead expenses are tracked and allocated properly to reflect true project costs.
How Construction Accounting Helps Contractors

Our reports show income and costs by job so you can quickly see which projects are performing well and which are running over budget.
- Better Cash Flow Control
By tracking billing schedules, collections, and retainage, you can plan cash needs and avoid shortages during long projects.
