Construction bookkeeping for Eugene and Springfield contractors.
Eugene and Springfield contractors - Construction bookkeeping in Eugene OR
Construction bookkeeping in Eugene OR reflects a mix of remodels, custom residential, and larger commercial subs. Jobs run longer, draws are slower, and a crew shared across the two cities rarely gets coded to the right job.
The profit-and-loss looks fine. Cash does not. Retainage in the bank balance is the usual reason an owner thinks a truck or a draw is safe when it is not.
How much more profit could you make in those hours?
Ten hours a month in the books is about 120 hours a year you could spend on estimates and change orders. How much more profit could you make in those hours?
Let’s take bookkeeping off your plate — and make that happen.
Bookkeeping services tailored to your business
QuickBooks setup by job
job-cost setup, monthly reports for long jobs with retainage, and cleanup before year-end.
A new file, or a reset of the one you have, built around jobs instead of a generic small-business chart of accounts.
Labor, materials, and subs get a place to land on the job. Items, classes, and the job list match how you bid and how you run crews.
Reports after this mean something. A company profit-and-loss stops being the only number you have. You can see a job while it is still open, not after the year is closed. Setup is what makes the monthly reports worth reading.
monthly job-cost reports
Each month you get a report of which jobs made money, which did not, and what is still open. Billed versus earned stays separate. Retainage is not treated as spendable cash.
This is the report you use to repeat a bid or stop taking one. It is also the report that answers the crew question, the truck question, and the draw. A busy month and a tight account stop being a mystery. One profit leak shown in that report can pay for the bookkeeping. The next one is profit.
Cleanup
A separate project for books that are behind, miscoded, or never built for jobs.
Scope is clear before the work starts: how far back, which accounts, and what “current” means.
Done before tax season, a bank conversation, or a bond package. Monthly bookkeeping starts after the file is brought up to date.
You stop reconstructing the whole year in March. Your tax preparer gets clean books.
A banker or bonding agent sees job numbers, not a mess.
The first profit leak we find often covers the cleanup. You also get the time back. Time you could use to bid and complete more work.
Monthly bookkeeping
Categorizing, bank and card reconciliation, and a close each month.
Transactions land on the job they belong to.
Bookkeeping comes off your plate. Those hours go on estimates, change orders, and the work that makes profit.
Job-Cost Health Check
A quick phone call. You choose the time that fits into your schedule.
We talk about your business, how many jobs are open, and how your books work today. We scope cleanup first if it is needed, then monthly bookkeeping. If Marshall Bookkeeping LLC is not a good fit for your company, I say that on the call.
You leave with a clear next step.
