We get how trades businesses actually run
You built a real business — a few trucks, a small crew, work booked out for weeks. But the books are behind, payroll lives somewhere separate, and you're not totally sure which jobs actually made money. Sound about right?
- ✓Books behind because you're on job sites, not at a desk
- ✓Payroll disconnected from your bookkeeping
- ✓No clear read on which jobs are profitable
- ✓Unsure you're paying yourself right as an S corp
What we do for contractors
We clean up the backlog, put you on flat-fee monthly bookkeeping, connect payroll back to your books, handle your business and personal taxes, and build in quarterly planning — including getting your S-corp salary vs. distributions right.
Local or virtual — same service either way
We're based in Arlington and know the DFW trades world, but our virtual process means you never have to leave a job site to meet with your CPA. Whether you're in Mansfield or Montana, it works the same.
Do you work with HVAC / electrical / plumbing / construction?
Yes — trades and contracting businesses are our core focus.
Can you help me figure out which jobs are profitable?
Yes — once your books are clean, we set them up so job profitability is clear.
My books are a year behind. Is that a problem?
Not at all — that's exactly where most trades owners start. We just fix it.
How do you handle S-corp pay?
We set a reasonable, defensible salary vs. distribution split and revisit it as you grow.
