Job-cost reporting, construction-ready close books, and year-round tax strategy for the people building California — on one predictable monthly retainer.
One expert who understands draws, retainage, payroll compliance, and the cash gap between doing the work and getting paid — not a rotating cast of junior accountants.

A clearer cash picture for the person wearing every hard hat.
Know which jobs are carrying the business before the next draw.
A commercial project can look profitable right up until the final invoice. We build the books around your contracts, crews, and schedule of values so the job-level story is visible while there is still time to act — not after the closeout package is signed.
- job-costing that only appears after the job closes
Labor, materials, equipment, and change orders land in broad buckets while the project is underway. By the time the P&L catches up, the margin has already been spent.
- AIA progress billing with no clean schedule of values
Draws, retainage, stored materials, and approved change orders move on different timelines. Cash can look healthy while the receivable and the real cost-to-complete tell another story.
- WIP schedules built from stale numbers
A WIP schedule assembled at quarter end cannot explain why a job slipped, what remains to bill, or whether the backlog is actually profitable.
- job-costing by project, phase, and crew
Direct labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor spend are matched to the work that created them, giving you a margin view you can use in the next project meeting.
- AIA progress billing tied to retainage and cash flow
The schedule of values, draw timing, retainage, and change orders reconcile into one operating view, so you know which dollars are earned and which are simply delayed.
- WIP schedules that tell you where margin is moving
Cost-to-complete assumptions get refreshed on a useful cadence, making overbilling, underbilling, and margin fade visible before they become a year-end surprise.
Get paid cleanly, protect your rights, and price the next bid with facts.
Your work may be one scope inside someone else’s project, but the bookkeeping pressure is all yours: labor compliance, material commitments, billing packages, and payment timing. We turn those moving parts into a monthly view you can trust.
- lien waivers tracked in inboxes and spreadsheets
Conditional and unconditional lien waivers get requested, signed, and filed at different points in the draw cycle. Missing one can slow payment or leave the office guessing about exposure.
- certified payroll deadlines competing with field work
Public works reporting demands precise classifications, hours, and fringe detail. A rushed submission creates rework just when the crew is moving to the next site.
- job-costing blurred across crews, materials, and change orders
A profitable scope and a difficult scope can look identical when labor, rentals, and material overruns are not assigned to the right job and change order.
- lien waivers organized with the billing calendar
Requests, signatures, and releases have a consistent home alongside each billing package, reducing avoidable holds and giving you a clean project record.
- certified payroll ready from reliable source data
Time, classifications, and fringe details are reviewed as part of the monthly close, not reconstructed after a compliance request lands.
- Job-costing that improves every future bid
Actual labor, material, and subcontractor performance feeds back into estimating, so your next proposal reflects how the work really runs in the field.
A clearer cash picture for the person wearing every hard hat.
When you sell the work, supervise the crew, chase the invoice, and make the bank run, bookkeeping cannot be another job site. We keep the close practical and the advice direct, with the numbers you need to decide what to take on next.
- quarterly estimated taxes arrive as a surprise
A strong project can create a tax bill months after the cash was spent on payroll, materials, or the next truck. Without a forward view, every payment feels like it came out of nowhere.
- Cash flow and job-cost visibility disappear between draws
The bank balance says what is available today, but not what is committed to payroll, vendors, taxes, or an unfinished job. Decisions get made from the balance instead of the business.
- Owner pay gets mixed into project performance
Personal draws, equipment purchases, and business spending land together, making it difficult to tell whether the company is growing or simply moving cash around.
- quarterly estimated taxes planned before the due date
The tax reserve is part of the operating conversation, with projected payments tied to the year-to-date numbers instead of a last-minute guess.
- Cash-flow and job-cost visibility on one monthly page
You can see what is collected, what is committed, and which jobs are producing the cash that keeps the company moving.
- Owner pay separated from the work it funds
Draws, reimbursements, equipment, and operating costs are classified clearly, giving you a more honest read on the company’s capacity and next move.
