Most accountants treat construction like any other business. We don't. From job costing and progress billing to retainage, change orders, and contractor payroll—we know the financial mechanics that make or break a construction company. Whether you need clean books, a smart tax plan, IRS resolution, or fractional CFO leadership, every service we offer is built around the way contractors actually operate.
Construction Tax Planning
We help contractors legally cut their tax bill with strategies built for construction—cost segregation, equipment depreciation, entity structuring, and retirement plans for owner/operators. The goal isn't to scramble at year-end. It's to plan all year so you keep more of every job.
- Year-round tax strategy built for construction businesses
- Cost segregation studies on owned real estate and shop properties
- Equipment, vehicle, and Section 179 / bonus depreciation planning
- Entity structure review (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp) tailored to your trade
- Owner retirement plans (Solo 401k, SEP, defined benefit) to shelter income
- Job-cost-driven deduction tracking so nothing gets missed
- Multi-state planning for crews and projects across state lines
Virtual CFO
Most contractors don't need a full-time CFO—but they do need someone watching cash flow, job profitability, and bonding capacity. We sit in the CFO seat for you, translating your numbers into clear decisions about which jobs to bid, when to hire, and how to fund the next project.
- Job costing setup and ongoing profitability analysis
- WIP (Work In Progress) and percentage-of-completion reporting
- Cash flow forecasting tied to your project pipeline
- Bonding and lender-ready financial statements
- Budgeting, scenario planning, and bid-vs-actual review
- KPI dashboards built for construction (gross margin, labor burden, overhead %)
- Support for acquisitions, equipment financing, and capital projects
- Ongoing financial leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO
Contractor Tax Returns
Construction tax returns aren't simple. Multi-state work, retainage timing, contract method elections, equipment basis, and 1099 reporting all add complexity. We prepare construction tax returns proactively—coordinated with your books and your tax plan so there are no surprises in April.
- C-Corp, S-Corp, Partnership, and sole-prop construction returns
- Owner personal returns coordinated with the business
- Multi-state filings for projects across state lines
- Contract method elections (completed contract vs. percentage-of-completion)
- 1099-NEC preparation for all your subs
- Sales and use tax filings on materials and equipment
- Quarterly estimated payments to avoid IRS underpayment penalties
- ITIN applications (Form W-7) for crew members where needed
Construction Bookkeeping
Generic bookkeeping breaks down the moment you start tracking jobs, retainage, and progress billings. We set your books up the way construction companies actually need them—so you can see profit per job, true labor cost, and what’s really in the pipeline.
- QuickBooks Online, Desktop, or Enterprise setup for construction
- Job costing structure with phases, cost codes, and class tracking
- Progress billing, retainage, and AIA-style invoicing support
- Accounts payable for material suppliers and subs
- Bank, credit card, line of credit, and equipment loan reconciliations
- Monthly P&L, balance sheet, WIP, and job-profitability reports
- Cleanup of years of messy or behind books
Payroll
Construction payroll has its own set of headaches—prevailing wage, multi-state crews, certified payroll, workers comp class codes, and 1099 vs W-2 classification. We run it correctly so you stay compliant and your people get paid on time.
- Full-service payroll for hourly, salaried, and per-diem workers
- Multi-state and certified payroll where required
- Direct deposit and pay stub access for crews
- Quarterly federal/state filings (Form 941, 940, state UI)
- W-2, W-3, and 1099-NEC year-end reporting
- Workers comp class code review and audit support
- Contractor (1099) vs employee (W-2) classification guidance
- Integration with your construction bookkeeping for true labor cost
Tax Resolution
If you’re behind on returns, sitting on IRS notices, or facing a lien or levy, we can help. Construction businesses get hit hard with payroll tax issues, missed estimateds, and 1099 mismatches—and the IRS doesn’t go away on its own. We negotiate, file, and clean it up so you can get back to building.
