Not Just Any Bookkeeper Will Do - Too often plumbing contractors hire the wrong bookkeeper mistakenly believing all bookkeepers are the same. Nothing is further from the truth. Not all plumbers are the same. You would never hire a rough-in plumber with a background in new construction commercial work to be part of your residential remodeling crew because they are trained to rip and tear, yell, get aggressive and bully everyone and everything in their way. The resulting destruction to you, your crew, your company and the poor family whose home you are working would be extremely expensive. Construction bookkeeping you need people trained in construction bookkeeping.
QuickBooks Setup - And choosing the correct QuickBooks Version is the most critical part of all because it is the foundation upon which your entire financial system is built. Put the wrong foundation under your business and it will not matter who is doing the bookkeeping because it will always be a mess and you will never get the reports you really need in order to operate and grow your business profitably. Your Board of Advisors and especially your banker will be unhappy; however, they may not say it outright, just that your loans, lines of credit and referral opportunities may be limited.
