Bookkeeping Built for Sign Companies

A sign job is really three jobs wearing one purchase order: design hours, fabrication with real material cost, and installation with equipment, permits, and sometimes a crane. Quoting is an art; knowing whether the quote made money is bookkeeping. Most sign shops can tell you their revenue and can't tell you their margin by phase, which is why underpriced fabrication quietly eats so many of them.

What sign company books need to get right

  • Jobs costed across design, fabrication, and install phases, against the quote
  • Deposits (half up front is standard) held as liabilities through fabrication
  • WIP on larger jobs, so revenue lands when work happens rather than when invoices do
  • Permits, engineering stamps, and utility locates charged to their jobs
  • Materials (substrates, vinyl, LEDs) tracked with scrap visible
  • Service and maintenance agreements (relamping, repairs) built into a recurring revenue line
