Construction Bookkeeping & Accounting Services

If you’re running a construction business in Southern California, you already know the numbers matter.

But job costing, payroll, invoicing, and reports don’t always fit neatly into your workday—especially when you’re juggling crews, materials, and schedules. That’s where we come in.



Our construction bookkeeping services are built for contractors. We understand the unique accounting challenges you face—like tracking project-specific costs, staying compliant for audits, and managing complex payroll cycles. We’re not generalists. We know construction inside and out, and we make sure your books reflect that.

Why Construction Bookkeeping Isn’t Like Other Industries

A standard bookkeeper might know how to balance a checkbook, but they don’t know how to allocate payroll to cost codes, process union-certified pay, or prepare job profitability reports that actually help you bid smarter.

Construction accounting involves:

  • Job costing across multiple projects and timelines
  • Progress billing and retainage tracking
  • Classifying expenses for taxes and workers’ comp audits
  • Managing payroll for hourly workers with varying rates

When done right, your books don’t just support tax prep—they become a tool for running your business smarter.
