Yes. EdgeStrat Finance specializes in construction, trades, and contractor businesses.

Construction accounting works very differently from standard bookkeeping. Job costing, retainage, progress billing, equipment allocation, and labor tracking all require specialized systems. Our processes are designed specifically for contractors so financial reports actually reflect job performance and real profitability.

This focus allows us to build systems that support accurate job costing, clean financials, and better decision making for contractors.

Most of our clients use QuickBooks Online, though the systems we design can work with other platforms as well.

We build contractor-specific structures including:

• Job cost tracking

• Cost code systems

• Labor allocation workflows

• Vendor and subcontractor tracking

• Month-end close processes

The goal is not just keeping books clean, but creating financial reports that help contractors understand job profitability and control overhead.

Most bookkeeping firms focus on tax reporting and categorizing expenses.

Contractors need something different.

Construction accounting requires systems that track:

• Job costs by project

• Labor allocation to specific jobs

• Subcontractor costs

• Equipment usage

• Overhead allocation

• Retainage receivable

Without these systems, contractors may have clean books but no visibility into which jobs are actually profitable.

EdgeStrat Finance builds accounting systems that focus on job performance and operational visibility.

Yes. This is one of the most important parts of contractor financial management.

We help contractors build systems including:

• Cost code structures

• Job setup procedures

• Labor tracking workflows

• Vendor invoice tracking

• Equipment cost allocation

• Monthly job cost reporting

When these systems are set up correctly, contractors can clearly see which jobs are making money and where margin is being lost.

Both.

Many contractors come to us when their books need to be cleaned up or reorganized before proper reporting can begin.

We typically start with a cleanup and system setup phase, which may include:

• Cleaning historical transactions

• Rebuilding the chart of accounts

• Implementing cost codes and job tracking

• Organizing vendor and subcontractor records

After that, many clients move into ongoing monthly bookkeeping and reporting so their financials stay accurate and usable.
