General contractor, Edmonton

Full-cycle bookkeeping and job costing rebuild

Implemented QuickBooks Online with class-based job costing for a mid-sized general contractor, then automated WIP reporting and the progress draw schedule. The month-end close went from fifteen days to five, which moved the numbers from a historical record to something usable mid-job.

Modern workflows, not spreadsheet archaeology

Most small businesses do not have a bookkeeping problem. They have a systems problem that shows up as late books, surprise tax bills and jobs that turn out to have lost money two months after they finished.

Let's look at your books

A short call to understand the business, the systems you are on now and where the month-end is getting stuck. No charge, and no obligation to continue.
