Top FAQs for Contractors & Trades
1. 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.
​
2. Do you only work with construction?
Yes. We specialize in contractors and trades because accurate job costing requires industry-specific bookkeeping.
​
3. 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.
4. 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.
​
5. Can you help with job costing?
Yes, depending on your package. Some contractors want full job costing; others prefer simpler bookkeeping. We tailor this based on your needs.​
​
6. Do you offer payroll?
We help you choose and set up the right payroll provider. Payroll is then run directly by you.
​

No. We don’t file tax returns, but we keep your books accurate and tax-ready for your CPA.
​
8. Can you help with estimates, invoicing, COIs, and subcontractor paperwork?
