Bookkeeping for the businesses that keep Orange County running

Owner-run, for-profit businesses that have outgrown do-it-yourself books but don't need a full-time controller yet.

Contractors & Trades

Remodelers, roofers and general contractors.

You bid the job, run the crew and order the materials. Then you find out at tax time whether you made money. I track every job so you see your profit while the work is still going.

How I help

  • • Job costing by project, with labor, materials and subs
  • • WIP schedules and over/under billing
  • • Progress billing, retention and change orders
  • • Subcontractor 1099s and certificate-of-insurance tracking

How I help

  • • Payroll, overtime and field labor costs tied out
  • • Recurring maintenance contracts and memberships

  • • Trust and security deposit account reconciliations
  • • Monthly owner statements and distributions

How I help

How I help

  • • Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, PayPal and Square payout reconciliations
  • • Fees, refunds and chargebacks booked correctly
  • • Inventory, landed cost and COGS
  • • Gross margin by product or channel
