Construction bookkeeping for Oregon contractors | Marshall Bookkeeping LLC
Construction Bookkeeping.
How much more profit could you make in 120 hours of work?
Let’s take construction bookkeeping off your plate — and make that happen.
The books are costing you twice.
✓
First cost: The time in QuickBooks. Ten hours a month in the books is about 120 hours a year. If you bid a job that takes 120 hours, how much more could you make if you completed that project instead of spending the time in QuickBooks?
✓
Second cost: The profit leaks those hours never catch. Materials dumped into overhead. Labor that never lands on the specific job. A change order that got built and never billed. Retainage sitting in the bank balance as if it were spendable cash.
One leak found can pay for the bookkeeping. Find another one and it can be real profit.
Let’s take bookkeeping off your plate — and make that happen.
It pays off when the numbers are right!
A monthly job report is what answers the questions you are already asking.
Can I add two people to the crew?
A hire is not affordable because you are busy.
It is affordable if the company will still make money after more overhead is added.
Can I afford a truck?
The payment is part of the answer. Fuel, insurance, plates, and the jobs that truck has to stay busy on are all things to consider.
How much can I pay myself without sinking the company?
Owner pay is not whatever is left in checking.
Draws, payroll, retainage, and unpaid bills all hit that balance. Job profit is the number the draw comes out of.

How it works
Book the Health Check
Tell me about your business, about how many jobs you run, and whether you are on QuickBooks.
We talk by phone. You describe how jobs, bills, and the books work today.
If it is a fit, we scope cleanup first if the file needs it, then monthly bookkeeping.
You get a next step before you get off the call. If Marshall Bookkeeping LLC is not a good fit for your business, I will say that on the call.
Built for the Construction Trades
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, roofers, painters, concrete, framers, remodelers, and specialty subs in Lebanon, Albany, Salem, Corvallis, and Eugene. If you are tired of only finding out the truth at tax time, you are in the right place.
I worked in commercial construction as a superintendent and estimator, so I already know why a job can look busy and still lose money.
