Questions Utah Contractors Ask About Construction Bookkeeping

We specialize in construction companies doing $500K to $10M in annual revenue. This is the Graduation Gap — you've outgrown basic bookkeeping but don't need a $150K full-time CFO. Our fractional CFO model gives Utah contractors that expertise at a fraction of the cost.
Yes. We serve electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish trade contractors across Utah. Labor-heavy jobs with progress billing and retainage require specialized tracking. We handle WIP adjustments, retainage management, and cost code mapping using the NAHB Chart of Accounts framework.
Standard accounting tracks expenses by date. Construction accounting tracks by project and phase using job costing, WIP schedules, retainage, and draw management. Salisbury Bookkeeping uses the NAHB Chart of Accounts — the industry standard that banks, bonding companies, and sureties expect. A regular bookkeeper cannot serve a growing contractor properly.
Yes. While we're based in Eagle Mountain, Utah, we serve builders, remodelers, and specialty trades nationwide. QuickBooks Online, Buildertrend, Procore, and Knowify all work seamlessly regardless of jobsite location. Many Utah clients have projects across multiple states.
We handle cleanup as part of onboarding. We audit past transactions, restructure your Chart of Accounts to NAHB standards, and recategorize expenses for accurate historical data. Most cleanups take 30–60 days. Utah clients average $28,400 in recovered unbilled change orders during the first 60 days.
Most clients see improved visibility within 30 days. Revenue recovery from unbilled change orders typically happens in the first 60 days ($28,400 average). Full financial clarity — real-time dashboards, accurate WIP schedules, predictable cash flow — usually takes 90 days.
We integrate QuickBooks Online with Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, Knowify, and Contractor Foreman. Budget updates, change orders, purchase orders, and time tracking flow automatically between your PM software and QuickBooks. Zero double entry.
A fractional CFO provides controller-level financial oversight without the cost of a full-time hire. For Utah contractors, that means job costing, WIP schedules, cash flow forecasting, and financial system management at $1,500–$4,000/month instead of $150K+/year. Salisbury Bookkeeping delivers this exclusively for the construction industry.
