Bookkeeping Built for Commercial Cleaning & Janitorial

Janitorial is a margin game measured in single percentage points. Every contract looks profitable on the proposal; the truth only shows up when actual labor hours land against each site, month after month. If your books can't tell you the labor percentage per building, you're renewing money-losers and don't know it.

What cleaning company books need to get right

  • Profitability by site and contract, every building its own mini-P&L, with labor percentage as the headline number
  • Recurring contract billing reconciled monthly, with scope changes and extra work actually invoiced
  • Supplies and consumables tracked as direct costs per site where contracts allow, not one blended blob
  • Night and weekend payroll with differentials, handled accurately across dozens of part-time schedules
  • Worker classification kept defensible, janitorial is a top enforcement target for 1099 misclassification, and the back-tax math is brutal
  • Customer concentration visible, so you see when one contract becomes a risk instead of an asset

Payroll is the whole ballgame

Labor is 50–60% of revenue in this industry, which makes payroll accuracy and allocation the single most important thing your books do. We run multi-site, multi-schedule payroll and land every hour on the building it cleaned. Payroll Administration for Small Businesses

Taxes, handled by the same firm

We prepare business and owner tax returns exclusively for our bookkeeping clients, which means your return is built on janitorial books we closed ourselves, twelve months in a row. Quarterly estimates included, April surprises not. Business Tax Preparation Services

What it costs

A flat monthly fee, quoted in writing after a free discovery call and a look at your QuickBooks file. No hourly billing, no long-term commitment, month to month. If your books are behind, we'll quote a fixed-fee cleanup first. Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services
