Question 1

We already have a bookkeeper. Why would we switch?

Accepted Answer

Quick test: Can you tell right now which of your active jobs are hitting their margin targets? Got a 13-week cash flow forecast? Are change orders flowing automatically from the field to invoicing? If any of those are a no, you don't have a bookkeeping problem — you have a systems gap. Most of our clients had bookkeepers before us. The difference is we build construction-specific financial systems that connect your PM software to QuickBooks, give you real-time job costing, and produce reports your bank actually wants to see.

Question 2

How much does this actually cost?

Accepted Answer

Most of our clients are growing construction contractors and invest $1,500 to $5,000 a month depending on their size and complexity. If books are behind, we quote a one-time catch-up cleanup separately: $500 if 3 months behind, $1,500 if 6 to 12 months behind, $5,000 to $12,000 if 2+ years behind, custom quote for multi-year with an IRS letter. Real client outcomes include $8,400 in missed change orders recovered in the first 60 days, $34,000 in forgotten retainage collected in one quarter, and AR aging 21 days faster on average.

Question 3

What makes you different from other construction bookkeeping firms?

Accepted Answer

Three things. First, construction is all we do — every system, process, and report is built for how construction money moves. Second, we connect your PM software (Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, Knowify) directly with QuickBooks so there is no double entry. Third, we operate as your fractional CFO — not just someone who categorizes expenses, but a strategic partner who forecasts cash flow, flags underperforming jobs, and gives you reports your bank and bonding agent will accept.

Question 4

Do I have to switch to QuickBooks Online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QuickBooks Online is the only platform that integrates properly with Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, and Knowify, which means your field data flows directly into your financials without anyone retyping numbers. Desktop does not support these integrations. We handle the full migration including chart of accounts, historical data, and open invoices.

Real numbers. Real talk.
