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.
Supporting Services
These services are available as needed and typically support one of the levels above:

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.
