Who we work with
Specialty trade contractors and general contractors doing $3 million to $20 million a year who answer to a surety or a bank.
Jobs that run for months, and someone waiting on the numbers
Your jobs run long enough that billing and cost never line up inside a month. You are bonded or want to be, or you carry a bank line and report on its covenants. Your books are kept by a bookkeeper, an office manager or a family member who does careful work and has never built a WIP schedule.

Your system, your people
We work in whatever ledger you run: QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop through hosted access, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE or Foundation. The WIP schedule, the cash forecast and the ratios are built the same way whatever the ledger, and the package your surety sees looks the same.
Your bookkeeper stays and keeps doing the entry. Your project managers give us cost to complete once a month. Your CPA keeps the income tax return and the year-end statements. The books reach them already tied.
We work from New York for contractors in any state.
When we are not the right firm
Under about $3 million a year, or on work that is mostly short service calls, a good bookkeeper is the better answer, and we will tell you so on the first call.
We do not prepare income tax returns. That is a CPA’s work, and yours keeps it. And we do not take the data entry without the close, because the close is where the value is.
