Salisbury Bookkeeping
Your Construction Financial Systems Partner
Our Story
Salisbury Bookkeeping was created because the construction industry deserves financial systems that actually work.
Most bookkeepers focus on tax categories—we focus on the financial heartbeat of construction: job costing, WIP, integrations, cash flow forecasting, revenue recognition, and accurate reporting.
We saw firsthand how many good builders struggled not because of poor craftsmanship, but because of poor financial visibility.
We built the solution to fix that.
Our Mission
To transform construction businesses from reactive bookkeeping to proactive financial management—giving owners clarity, confidence, and control over their numbers.
Our Approach
Construction-Only Focus
We don’t serve every industry. We serve yours.
Systems Over Spreadsheets
We build repeatable, reliable financial processes—not one-off fixes.
Controller-Level Oversight
Better accountability. Better accuracy. Better decisions.
Client-First Experience
Friendly support, fast communication, and a relationship that feels like part of your team.
Our Qualifications
Are you specialized in the construction industry?
Yes. We do not work with restaurants or retail. We are 100% focused on the construction industry. This focus allows us to stay updated on specific tax codes, software updates (like Procore/Buildertrend/Knowify), and banking requirements that affect general contractors and trades.
What certifications does Salisbury Bookkeeping hold? We are members of the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) and are certified experts in the major construction accounting platforms. We build our financial systems based on the proven NAHB chart of accounts. Certified with Quickbooks as an advanced level advisor. And we are BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited.
Cory Salisbury
Construction-Only Fractional Controller
I help construction companies stop revenue leaks, control cash flow, and finally get financial clarity. After years of working with contractors and project-based businesses, I saw a pattern: generalist bookkeeping simply doesn’t work in this industry. Construction isn’t linear—it’s three-dimensional, built around job costing, cash flow timing, and project management data. Most bookkeepers only see the general ledger. I see the entire system.
At Salisbury Bookkeeping, I design and maintain integrated construction financial systems that sync field operations with back-office accounting. Using NAHB-standard Chart of Accounts, WIP reporting, ASC 606 compliance, and real-time job costing, I help builders, remodelers, and GCs get accurate numbers they can trust—and use—every week.
My work focuses on:
Eliminating profit leaks caused by disconnected software and double entry
Implementing Buildertrend/Procore/CoConstruct/Knowify with QuickBooks Online
Delivering true job profitability, not just a tax-season P&L
Building 13-week cash flow forecasts so owners never worry about payroll again
Providing Fractional Controller oversight for companies scaling from $500K–$10M
I built this firm because construction owners deserve more than data entry—they deserve a partner who understands what makes their business profitable. When your projects stay on budget, your cash flow becomes predictable, and your operations and financials finally speak the same language, growth becomes inevitable.
When I’m not helping contractors build stronger businesses, I’m spending time with my wife and kids—my reminder that the work we do ultimately supports the people behind every project
