Would You Rather Walk Barefoot Across Hot Coals Than Do Bookkeeping?
If this describes you just know you are not alone. Most contractors would rather do anything including work in the rain, sleet, hail or windstorm than do the bookkeeping.
You started your construction or contracting company, house building firm, handyman business or your specialty contracting company to build, remodel, repair homes, commercial spaces and other structures not be a desk jockey!
Did someone say you need to do all the bookkeeping in order to be a successful contractor? If so ask yourself are they a successful contractor? Chances are they're not!
Successful contractors outsource their bookkeeping to a construction accounting service and spend their valuable time reading and understanding what the Financial and Job Costing Reports are telling them so they can make informed decisions.
Bohunk Bob's Story May Interest You:
Bohunk Bob (Not His Real Name) Is A Typical Contractor Who Is Sick And Tired Of:
- Working long hours in all kinds of weather in wet clothes, using broken tools and worn out equipment.
- Dealing with hard-nosed, cheap, ungrateful customers who want more, pay less and pay late, if at all.
- Putting up with whining, sniveling, lazy employees who arrive late and leave early to make up for it.
- Suppliers and vendors who move slower than molasses in the dead of winter, at night, on a frozen lake in a blizzard.
- Feeling like he is running on an endless treadmill and getting nowhere fast.
- In trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, Employment Security or Sales Tax agency.
- Trying to convince the bank to loan him money to take some of the financial pressure off or expand his business.
- And a thousand and one other problems and pressures that are driving him crazy.
The Common Thread Weaved Into The Fabric Of His Bookkeeping Nightmare
Some of the best contractors, home builders, residential remodelers, specialty contractors and handymen are the worst at taming paperwork. They may as well be herding balloons on a windy day! The answer is simple:
- Working long hours means you're doing everything yourself instead of doing what you do best and outsource the rest.
- Dealing with rotten customers means not understanding the difference between Customers And Clients.
- Whining, sniveling, lazy employees means not understanding the answers found in construction psychology.
- Suppliers and vendors who move slow means not understanding the value of using single source suppliers.
- Feeling like he is running on an endless treadmill and getting nowhere fast means not understanding leveling works.
- In trouble taxes is more often than not you don't have an advocate to help navigate the payroll and sales tax returns.
- Trying to convince the bank to loan him money means not having a Board of Advisers
- And a thousand and one other problems and pressures that are driving him crazy.
IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS WILL NOT BOTHER YOU - Randalism
When you're driving you don't need to know how the truck was put together; you just need Five Key Performance Indicators:
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Fuel Supply
- Oil Pressure
- Water Temperature
For your contracting company you don't need to know construction accounting you need Five Key Performance Indicators:
- Cash On Hand
- Cash To Come In
- Cash To Go Out
- Profit & Loss
- Balance Sheet
You are all about getting things done, not running on an endless treadmill of mundane, mind numbing, paper heading and pencil pushing geek work. If someone told you that in order to own and operate a successful construction and contracting company you had do all of the paper work they were wrong.
Your Contractors Bookkeeping Has To Get Done But You Don't Have To Do It!
We Remove Contractor's Unique Paperwork Frustrations
This Is Only The Tip - Of the Iceberg.

We show only the basic tools to open your mind to the possibilities that are available to you. The best finish carpentry tools in the hands of a golf professional without proper carpentry training will not produce anything near to what a skilled finish carpenter can. The same can be said about the best construction business consulting and accounting tools in the hands of a skilled finish carpenter. And I say that with respect and admiration for everyone in construction.
When You Become A Client - Then we can tap into our resources of knowledge and strategy banks. We use the reports hidden in your QuickBooks in order to diagnose and understand your construction business and develop plans and help you implement a path to success for you and you alone because every contractor has unique Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (S.W.O.T. Analysis) that when understood can lead to a Strategic Roadmap which cannot help but make a lot of money.
