Bookkeeping Built for HVAC Companies

An HVAC company's P&L lies by default. Install revenue and service revenue get dumped into one income line, equipment purchases blur into materials, and the summer surge papers over whatever the shoulder season is quietly costing you. Then February arrives, cash gets tight, and the books can't tell you why.

Our bookkeeping process is built specifically for HVAC contractors, which means your QuickBooks file is set up around how the money actually moves: installs versus service versus maintenance agreements, each with its own margin story.

What HVAC books need to get right

  • Job costing that separates installs from service calls, so you know your real margin per changeout, not a blended average that hides losers
  • Maintenance agreement accounting, prepaid contracts are deferred revenue, not a windfall in the month you sold them
  • Equipment and parts purchases tied to jobs, so a $4,000 condenser doesn't vanish into 'supplies'
  • Seasonal cash flow reporting, what the summer needs to bank for the winter, in numbers, not vibes
  • Progress payments and deposits on installs tracked as liabilities until the work is done
  • Commission and spiff payroll for techs, allocated to the jobs that generated it

We work with your field software

If you run ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or FieldEdge, we set up the sync to QuickBooks Online properly, mapped items, clean classes, no duplicate invoices, and reconcile the two systems every month. The dispatch board and the books should tell the same story.

Payroll for techs and crews

Hourly techs with overtime, commissioned salespeople, seasonal helpers, and the occasional 1099 sub. HVAC payroll is rarely simple. We run it, file it, and allocate labor to jobs so your job costing includes its biggest input. 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 HVAC 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
