Bookkeeping for service & contracting businesses

Know Where Your Money Goes.Know What Your Jobs Make.

Keeping the books isn't just about recording transactions.

For service and contracting businesses, good bookkeeping should help you understand your revenue, expenses, cash flow, outstanding invoices, and job profitability.

We'll discuss your current bookkeeping setup and what you'd like to improve.

The problem

Revenue Doesn't Always Tell the Whole Story

You can be busy.

You can have plenty of jobs.

You can even have money coming into the bank.

And still not know:

  • Which jobs are actually profitable

  • Where your money is going

  • How much customers still owe you

  • How much you owe suppliers

  • Whether expenses are getting out of control

  • How much cash you'll have available

  • Whether the business is really improving

Your books should give you answers — not just records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you track profitability by job?

For businesses where job-level tracking is appropriate, yes. We can organize relevant revenue and costs by job or project to help you understand job performance.

That depends on the service arrangement. Monthly bookkeeping is a common option for small businesses, while some businesses may require a different schedule.

Can you clean up my old bookkeeping?

Yes, cleanup/catch-up work can be scoped based on how far behind the books are and what condition the records are in.
