CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Bookkeeping & Financial Clarity Built for Contractors

Most contractors don’t struggle because they lack work — they struggle because their financials don’t clearly show what’s profitable, what’s leaking cash, and where jobs are going off track.

Edgestrat Finance helps construction businesses build clean, accurate books and financial systems so they can make better decisions, bid confidently, and grow without financial guesswork.

Our Services for Contractors

We work with contractors at different stages of growth. Our services are structured to meet you where you are today — and scale as your business becomes more complex.

LEVEL 1 — FINANCIAL FOUNDATION

Contractor Bookkeeping

Best for:
Small to mid-size contractors who want clean, reliable financials without stress.

This is the foundation of everything. If your books aren’t accurate and current, job costing, cash flow visibility, and planning quickly fall apart.

What’s included:

  • Monthly bookkeeping in QuickBooks

  • Bank and credit card reconciliations

  • Accounts receivable and payable tracking

  • Payroll coordination and labor expense tracking

  • Clean financial statements (P&L and Balance Sheet)

  • Consistent month-end close process

Why it matters:
Clean books give you clarity, reduce surprises, and create a reliable baseline for smarter decisions.

LEVEL 2 — JOB COST VISIBILITY

Job Costing & Financial Insight

Best for:
Growing contractors running multiple jobs who want to understand what’s actually profitable.

Basic bookkeeping tells you what happened. Job costing tells you why it happened — and what to do next.

What’s included:

  • Job and cost code setup

  • Labor, material, and overhead allocation

  • Job-level profitability tracking

  • Alignment between estimates and actuals

  • KPI and margin analysis

  • Monthly financial review and insights

Why it matters:
Many contractors are busy but underperforming because job costs aren’t tracked correctly. Job costing turns your financials into a decision-making tool instead of a historical report.

Level 3 — FINANCIAL OPTIMIZATION

Advanced Reporting & Advisory

Best for:
Established contractors who need deeper financial clarity as their business grows.

This level supports contractors preparing for larger projects, tighter margins, hiring crews, or more formal financial requirements.

What this supports:

  • Advanced financial reporting

  • Cash flow visibility and planning

  • Cleanup and financial restructuring

  • Ongoing advisory-style support

  • Coordination with CPAs and other professionals

  • Financial readiness for growth and external requirements

This level is often referred to as fractional CFO-style support, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Important note:
We do not perform tax filings, audits, or CPA reviews. Our role is to prepare clean, contractor-ready financials and coordinate with your CPA when higher-level review work is required.

How We Work


We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages.

We start with a conversation to understand:

  • where your books stand today

  • how you’re tracking jobs

  • what’s causing the most friction

  • where you want the business to go

From there, we recommend the level of support that makes sense for your situation.We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages.
