About us

We built the firm we wished we had.

Salisbury Bookkeeping started because contractors kept ending up with the same gap — accounting reports that were technically correct but couldn't answer "did this job make money?" We close that gap, alongside your CPA and bookkeeper, not in place of them.

The team

Two owners. One firm. Zero outsourcing.

When you hire Salisbury, you get us. Not a junior. Not an offshore team. The people building your books are the people whose names are on the door.

Runs the close. Runs the client experience. Runs the team. If your month-end lands on the 15th and your reports are ready, Jenni is why.

The story

One builder. One bad spreadsheet. One fix.

Cory Salisbury started this firm after watching a contractor friend pull a $180K profit on paper and a $12K loss in the bank. Same year. Same books. Two different stories.

That shouldn't happen. But it does. All the time. Construction money moves differently than retail or services — job costing, retainage, WIP, change orders — and most accounting setups were never built for any of that.

We built Salisbury to fill the gap. Your CPA files taxes and keeps you compliant. Your bookkeeper records the transactions. Both matter. We sit alongside them as the fractional CFO most contractors couldn't afford to hire full-time — with books that tell the truth every Friday, not every April.

Our job is simple: tell you the truth about your numbers. Before it costs you money.

How we run

Three rules. No exceptions.

01

We say no a lot.

If we can't deliver the promise, we won't take the client. You'll hear it on the first call.

02

We tell you what it costs.

Pricing is on the site. On the first call. In writing. No games.

03

We work for contractors. Only.

No restaurants. No e-commerce. No agencies. Just builders — $500K to $10M in revenue.
