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.
Detailed financial reporting, cash flow oversight, WIP tracking, and budgeting designed for contractors. Keep your projects profitable, your finances clear, and your business moving forward.
We review your books in detail to identify gaps, errors, and opportunities for improvement. This thorough check gives you a clear, accurate picture of your financial health and highlights what’s working well and what needs attention.
After the review, we will connect to review the results and, if you agree, begin cleaning up issues, catching up your books, and establishing controls to keep cash flow and job costs on track.
Next, we focus on keeping your books in order over the long term. We introduce straightforward systems and processes to ensure your records stay accurate and your reports are clear and timely.
