Request a QuoteConstruction lives and dies by job costing and cash timing. We run your books in QuickBooks or Xero with a construction-ready chart of accounts, WIP/retainage tracking, progress-billing AR, and subcontractor AP + 1099s—then close every month on a CPA-designed checklist. Bank/credit accounts reconcile to statements, undeposited funds are cleared, accruals/prepaids are posted, and you receive a management-ready reporting pack (P&L, Balance Sheet, AR/AP aging, cash highlights) with variance notes and a period-lock recommendation. Whether you’re a GC or a specialty subcontractor, we’ll keep each job profitable and lender-ready without slowing field ops.
Where Cleaning Business Bookkeeping Fits in Your Service Workflow Cleaning companies depend on reliable job costing, payroll, scheduling, and supply tracking. Financially, most follow:
- Clean up or catch up past invoices, payments, and expenses
- Track labor, subcontractors, supplies, travel, and equipment
- Close monthly books to understand job profitability
- Add accounting or outsourced support as clients and crews expand
If your invoices or expenses do not match QuickBooks, begin with QuickBooks Cleanup or Catch-Up Bookkeeping. Then continue with Monthly Bookkeeping and Accounting Services to keep job costs, payroll, and margins accurate.
