Accounting built for contractors who build things.
Job costing, payroll, tax planning, and clean books — tailored for construction companies, subcontractors, and trade businesses across San Diego.
The financial challenges contractors face every day.
Construction accounting is different from every other industry. We understand the complexity — and we know how to fix it.
You don't know which jobs are profitable
Revenue looks great on paper but you're not sure which projects actually made money — and which ones lost it.
W-2 vs. 1099 confusion
Misclassifying workers as contractors instead of employees can trigger IRS audits, back taxes, and steep penalties.
Cash flow is unpredictable
Big jobs, slow payments, and lumpy revenue make it hard to know if you can make payroll next week.
Tax season is a scramble
Receipts everywhere, books that don't balance, and a CPA who doesn't understand construction write-offs.
Payroll is complicated
Multiple crew members, prevailing wage requirements, certified payroll — it's a full-time job on its own.
Your books are always behind
You're too busy running jobs to keep up with bookkeeping — and it shows every time you need a financial report.
