Fallen behind on your books? We help construction businesses get caught up fast. With expertise in Foundation, QuickBooks, and Sage, we fix unreconciled accounts, clean up records, and bring your books current. Trusted by contractors throughout California, we get your finances back on track so you can stay focused on the job. .

Construction Accounting Training

Hands-on construction accounting training covers job costing, progress billing, certified payroll, lien tracking, retainage, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, and general ledger. Training is provided in Foundation Software, QuickBooks, and Sage with clear workflows built for construction.

Progress Billings AIA's

AIA and progress billing services include Schedule of Values, pay applications, retainage tracking, and lien management. This ensures timely payments, steady cash flow, and less time chasing down what you're owed. 

Certified Payroll

For public jobs, every hour, rate, and fringe benefit has to be reported exactly. We handle the forms, the rules, and the deadlines so you don’t lose time, get flagged, or delay payment. 

Job Costing

If you don’t know what a job costs, you can’t price it right, and you can’t protect your profit. We build job costing systems that make sense for construction. Simple, accurate, and built to match the way you actually work.

Payroll Processing

We manage time tracking, garnishments, sick and vacation hours, labor cost allocation, payroll tax filing and reporting, and ensure accurate payroll data entry using your software.
