San Francisco Contractors Accounting Services

Bookkeeping Services

Construction bookkeeping services in San Francisco include accounts payable and receivable data entry, invoicing, paying bills, deposit recording and tracking, bank reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance. Each service is customized to meet the specific needs of your construction business. 

Job Set-Up

Job setup for construction contractors means getting pre-liens, insurance certificates, and paperwork handled upfront. A solid process makes sure everything’s in place before the job starts, so your project kicks off smooth, legal, and ready to roll.

Clean-Up & Catch Up For San Francisco Contractors

For construction businesses using Foundation Construction Software, QuickBooks, and Sage, clean-up and catch-up bookkeeping services get your records back on track. Whether accounts are unreconciled, records are missing, or books are behind, we sort out errors and update everything so your financials are current—no matter how far behind you are.

Construction Accounting Training

We offer practical, hands-on training in construction accounting, built for real job sites, not textbooks. From job costing and progress billing to certified payroll, lien tracking, and retainage, we cover it all. You’ll also get guided instruction on managing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling bank statements, and keeping your general ledger tight. Whether you're working in Foundation, QuickBooks, or Sage, our step-by-step methods help construction teams take control of their accounting with confidence and clarity.

Progress Billings AIA's

AIA and progress billings are prepared for contractors and construction projects, including Schedule of Values, pay applications, retainage tracking, and lien management. These construction billing services help ensure timely payments and improve cash flow, allowing you to focus on running your business.

Certified Payroll

Certified payroll reporting ensures contractors comply with prevailing wage laws and DAS forms requirements on government construction projects. We handle the preparation and timely submission of certified payroll reports, tracking employee wages, hours worked, fringe benefits, and all necessary documentation. Our certified payroll services help construction businesses stay compliant, avoid penalties, and maintain accurate records for government audits. 

Job Costing

If you don’t know what a job will cost, you can’t price it right or protect your profit. We set up job costing systems for contractors that are clear, reliable, and built for the way construction works. 


Payroll Processing

Payroll processing services for construction businesses include employee wage calculations, garnishments, sick time and vacation tracking, payroll tax filings, payroll tax reporting, labor cost tracking, and payroll data entry. 

Outsourced CFO

Financial reporting, cash flow management, Work in Progress tracking, and budget preparation support construction businesses in keeping their finances organized. These services help contractors monitor project profitability, manage expenses, and stay on budget.
