High technology office environments are now as important as the Smartphone and tablet were several years ago. If you were a smart, forward thinking contractor you got those long before your competition did and made a lot of money in a short period of time.
You need to commit to spending $100,000+ to setup a high technology construction accounting office and staff it with Professional Construction Accounting Staff or outsource it a Contractors Bookkeeping Service before it is too late.
Act Now! Don't wait until you are fighting for the crumbs left by successful high-profit contractors who know where The Top 20% of the market is, how to attract them, make obscene profits and retire early.
Perhaps you don't want to invest $100,000+ to setup a high tech construction accounting office not more than you want to setup an oil change station at your shop or office since both of them can be outsourced cheaper and faster than you can do-it-yourself. Let alone the aggravation that comes with having a bookkeeper in your house or office and worse yet having your wife do it...now there is a recipe for divorce!
The Foundation Is Your Setup Your Processes And Document Them In An Operations Manual - Our Strategic Contractors Bookkeeping Service is an assembly line where contractor bookkeeping tasks are divided into groups and assigned by skill level and yours can be too. Make certain everything is reviewed by competent construction accountants who cost us less and we pass the savings on to you!

If neither option appeals to you then perhaps you may want to look around and see how busy you are now and give serious consideration to polishing up your resume and get ready to look for a job with one of your competitors.
When economy improves, which it will eventually, you will face a juggernaut of forward thinking construction business owners who are updating their Processes, Policies and Procedures to identify their Prime Customer and developing systems to get the most profitable top 20% of the jobs right now. We know it to be true because we are working with a number of them All Across The USA Including Alaska And Hawaii, not now but right now!
The great obstacle to discovering the value of Construction Bookkeeping which generates good reports and being informed in time to seize opportunities and avoid disasters is not ignorance; but the illusion of trying to save money doing it yourself or hiring cheap bookkeepers because good bookkeeping like good construction is not cheap.
My purpose was not to offend anyone; however, if I can keep just ONE construction business owner from disaster, bankruptcy, divorce or suicide; and yes some construction company owners have decided to take on a long-term solution to a short-term problem...it is only money.
Everyone fails now and then, goodness knows I have. You can always start over, rebuild and go back into business again...a little older and a little wiser and this time you will know to seek wise counsel.
This Is Only The Tip - Of the Iceberg. Everything we publish in our blog posts, articles in other websites, and anything you can find on the web is nothing compared to what is available to you as our client. 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.
This Is One More Example of how Fast Easy Accounting is helping construction company owners just like you put more money in the bank to operate and grow your construction company.
