Bookkeeping Built for Handyman & Remodeling Businesses

High job volume is what makes handyman books hard. Forty small jobs a month means forty chances for a materials receipt to go missing, a payment to go unmatched, or two hours of unbilled extra work to evaporate. Remodel projects add the opposite problem: money arriving in deposits and draws that isn't yours yet, no matter what the bank balance implies.

What handyman and remodeler books need to get right

  • Lightweight job costing that works at volume, every job doesn't need a spreadsheet, but every job needs a margin
  • Materials matched to jobs, with the Home Depot and Lowe's card feeds tamed instead of dumped into 'supplies'
  • Deposits and progress draws on remodels held as liabilities until the work earns them
  • Change orders and 'while you're here' extras captured and billed, the most commonly donated revenue in the trades
  • Lead platform fees (Angi, Thumbtack, Google Local Services) tracked as the marketing cost per job they are, so you know your real cost of acquisition
  • Mixed W-2 and 1099 labor kept compliant, with W-9s collected before anyone gets paid

From solo operator to crew

Many handyman businesses cross from one van to three trucks without their books ever upgrading. That's usually the moment owners find us, revenue has doubled, take-home hasn't, and nobody knows why. Clean job-level books answer it within two months. Bookkeeping Services 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 remodeling 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
