Top FAQs for Contractors & Trades
1. How much do monthly bookkeeping packages cost? Our packages start at $399/month. Final pricing depends on the size of your business, number of accounts, and the level of back office support you need. The best way to get an accurate quote is a quick Discovery Call — no pressure, just a real conversation about your business.
​
2. What exactly is back office support? It's everything that keeps your business compliant and organized behind the scenes — W-9s, certificates of insurance, subcontractor documents, and all the paperwork your business needs to stay on job sites and out of trouble. You stay on the job site. We handle the rest.
​
3. Do you work with small contractors or new businesses?
Yes — we support new contractors, small crews, and growing trades. You don’t need to be "big" to get organized.
​
4. Do you only work with construction?
Yes. We specialize in construction and trades because we've been running a Brooklyn contracting company since 2009. We don't just understand the numbers — we understand the industry.
​
5. What bookkeeping software do you use?
QuickBooks Online. If you're using paper, Excel, or another software, we help you move everything into QBO.
For contractors who need estimating or project management, we can support Job Tread when it’s the right fit and connect it with QuickBooks Online.
6. I’m behind on my books — can you help with cleanup or catch-up work?
Yes. Most contractors come to us with messy or behind books. Cleanup or catch-up work is handled before ongoing monthly or quarterly bookkeeping begins, so your books are accurate and tax-ready moving forward.
​
7. Can you help with job costing?
Yes. Job costing is included in our Framework and Blueprint packages. It's one of the most important things we do — because knowing which jobs made you money or just kept you busy changes everything about how you run your business.​
​
8. Do you offer payroll?
We help you set up the right payroll provider and coordinate the inputs so your payroll costs are always handled correctly. (You approve & run payroll)
​
9. Do you prepare or file taxes? We keep your books accurate and tax-ready all year long. We work directly with your CPA or one of our trusted partners to make sure they have everything they need to file your taxes.
​
10. Can you help with estimates, invoicing, COIs, and subcontractor paperwork?
Yes — with clear boundaries. We set up your QBO invoicing system so you can send invoices easily yourself. We request and track COIs from your subs. We collect W-9s and manage subcontractor paperwork. We organize your expenses so nothing gets lost. What we don't do — send invoices to your clients or negotiate with your insurance auditor.​
​
11. Do you work remotely? Yes — 100% online. Everything runs through secure cloud-based systems. You never need to hand us a shoebox with receipts or meet us in person. We work with contractors in Brooklyn and nationwide. Hablamos Español.​
