Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Finance

What is the difference between a Bookkeeper and a Fractional Controller?
A bookkeeper records historical transactions (what happened). A Fractional Controller forecasts the future. At Salisbury Bookkeeping, our Controller services include WIP reporting, cash flow forecasting, and Month-End closing to ensure your financial statements are bank-ready.
Do I need to switch to QuickBooks Online?
Yes, we work exclusively with QuickBooks Online (QBO). It is the industry standard for cloud-based construction accounting and offers the best integrations with tools like Buildertrend and Procore. If you are on Desktop, we handle the migration for you.
Why is construction bookkeeping different from regular business accounting?
Standard accounting tracks expenses by date, but construction accounting must track expenses by project and phase. We use a "Job Costing" structure that aligns with the NAHB chart of accounts, ensuring you know exactly which jobs are profitable and where you are losing money on materials or labor.
What accounting software do you support for contractors?
We specialize in the modern construction tech stack. We are experts in QuickBooks Online integrated with industry-specific tools like Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, and Knowify. We handle the complex syncing between your project management tool and your financial ledger so your data is always accurate.
Do you work with contractors outside of Utah?
Yes. While we are based in Utah and deeply understand local regulations, we serve builders, remodelers, and specialty trades nationwide. Our systems are cloud-based, allowing us to act as your fractional controller regardless of your job site location.
How quickly will I see ROI?
Most clients see measurable results within 60-90 days. Whether it's recovering unbilled change orders, reducing collection times, or identifying underpriced work—the financial improvements typically exceed our fees within the first quarter.
Is it a good idea to outsource bookkeeping?
Absolutely. Outsourcing offers cost efficiency, access to specialized expertise, scalability, and lets you focus on building. For contractors in the $500K-$10M range, a fractional controller gives you CFO-level insights without CFO-level costs.
