Construction Bookkeeping | QuickBooks Online | Job Costing
Are your construction projects busy, but you still can't clearly see which jobs are actually making money? I am a construction bookkeeper and Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor helping general contractors, builders, remodelers, subcontractors, and service businesses keep accurate books and understand the real profit of every project. Clients hire me as a Construction Bookkeeping when their books are behind, project costs are assigned incorrectly, bank accounts don't reconcile, retainage isn't tracked, or job profitability reports can't be trusted. As a Construction Bookkeeping, I focus on QuickBooks Online, Construction Job Costing, project profitability, cleanup, reconciliation, AP, AR, retainage, change orders, WIP reporting, and month-end close. Most contractors don't just need data entry. They need a Construction Bookkeeping who understands how materials, labor, subcontractors, equipment, permits, delivery charges, retainage, and change orders affect each project. CONSTRUCTION BOOKKEEPING SERVICES As your Construction Bookkeeping, I can help with: ✅ QuickBooks Online setup and cleanup ✅ Catch-up and monthly bookkeeping ✅ Construction Job Costing ✅ Job and cost-code tracking ✅ Customer and project setup ✅ Chart of Accounts setup and cleanup ✅ Bank and credit card reconciliation ✅ Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable ✅ Vendor and subcontractor tracking ✅ Material and direct labor cost tracking ✅ Subcontractor and equipment cost tracking ✅ Bills, expenses, estimates, and invoices ✅ Progress billing and AIA pay applications ✅ Retainage and change order tracking ✅ 1099 vendor and subcontractor tracking ✅ Payroll transaction posting ✅ Billable expense tracking ✅ Project Profitability reports ✅ WIP reports ✅ Profit and Loss by customer or project ✅ AR and AP Aging reports ✅ Month-end close ✅ CPA-ready financial statements A Construction Bookkeeping should help you answer one important question: "Did this job actually make money?" CONSTRUCTION JOB COSTING IN QUICKBOOKS ONLINE As a Construction Bookkeeping, I assign construction income and expenses to the correct customer and project in QuickBooks Online. This includes materials, direct labor, subcontractor charges, equipment rentals, permits, delivery fees, and other direct construction costs. With accurate Job Costing, your Construction Bookkeeping can help you see: • Revenue by project • Material costs • Labor costs • Subcontractor costs • Equipment costs • Total job expenses • Gross profit • Actual project profitability • Budget vs. actual costs An experienced Construction Bookkeeping gives you project-level financial information instead of relying only on your overall bank balance or company-wide Profit and Loss. QUICKBOOKS ONLINE CLEANUP If your construction books are behind or unreliable, I work as a Construction Bookkeeping to identify and correct: • Duplicate or missing transactions • Incorrect transaction categories • Unreconciled bank and credit card accounts • Incorrect customer or project assignments • Old Accounts Receivable balances • Outstanding Accounts Payable balances • Chart of Accounts problems • Missing Job Costing information • Incorrect opening balances • Retainage and change order issues • Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet errors After cleanup, I can continue as your monthly Construction Bookkeeping so your books stay accurate, reconciled, organized, and ready for management or CPA review. CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE & WORKFLOWS A Construction Bookkeeping often works across more than QuickBooks Online. I have experience supporting construction bookkeeping and project workflows using: QuickBooks Online | Contractor Foreman | JobTread | Buildertrend | Knowify | Houzz Pro | Adaptive | Xero | QuickBooks Desktop | Zoho Books As your Construction Bookkeeper, I can also support vendor and subcontractor coordination, project folders, expense tracking, supplier statements, billing workflows, and integrations between construction platforms and accounting software. WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR CONSTRUCTION BOOKKEEPER? ✅ 3+ years of accounting and bookkeeping experience ✅ Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor ✅ Construction Job Costing experience ✅ QuickBooks Online cleanup and reconciliation ✅ Retainage and change order tracking ✅ WIP and Project Profitability reporting ✅ Clear communication and organized bookkeeping ✅ Experience supporting US, UK, and Canadian businesses If you need a Construction Bookkeeping for QuickBooks Online cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, Job Costing, project profitability, bank reconciliation, AP/AR, or construction financial reporting, send me a message.
