Construction
Construction & contractor bookkeeping in Seattle
In construction, the money is in the job costing. We keep the books for contractors and trades across Washington so you know which jobs make money, not just whether the business does.
Job costing, not just a company P&L
A single profit-and-loss hides what you need to know. We set up job costing so every project carries its own labor, materials, subs, and equipment, and you see margin job by job, in progress and at close.
- Cost tracking by job: labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractors
- Retainage: tracked on both receivables and payables so nothing gets lost
- Progress and milestone billing: tied to the schedule of values
- Work-in-progress: so over/under-billing doesn't surprise your cash flow
Subs, 1099s, and Washington rules
We manage subcontractor payments and year-end 1099s, and keep you straight on the Washington-specific pieces contractors deal with, like L&I and the state's payroll rules. Running payroll for your crew? See payroll services.
