SS Accounting Pro

Bookkeeping for Contractors & Construction Businesses

Know What Your Jobs Are Earning — Not Just What Is in the Bank.

Running a contracting or construction business involves much more than completing projects.

You are managing customers, subcontractors, employees, materials, equipment, vehicles, deposits, invoices, payroll, and taxes—all while trying to determine whether each job is actually profitable.

SS Accounting Pro provides professional bookkeeping and accounting support for contractors and construction businesses across the United States.

We help keep your financial records organized so you can spend less time fixing bookkeeping problems and more time running your business.

Actual Job Margin

Without organized project-level information, a contractor can be extremely busy while still experiencing weak profitability.

Depending on the accounting system and service level, we can help establish bookkeeping structures that provide better visibility into project-related income and expenses.

Talk With Us About Contractor Accounting

Profitable Does Not Always Mean Cash-Rich

There is often a timing gap between paying workers and suppliers and receiving customer payments.

Better visibility into your accounting records can help you understand your current cash position, outstanding customer invoices, upcoming obligations, payroll requirements, credit-card balances, business loans, and project-related spending.

Know Who Still Owes You Money

Contractor bookkeeping can provide visibility into customer invoices, open balances, aging receivables, payments received, and old or inaccurate invoices.

Generating revenue is different from collecting it.

Keep Worker Payments Organized

Contractors may work with both employees and independent contractors. From a bookkeeping standpoint, we help organize payroll expenses, subcontractor payments, vendor records, contractor information, and payment histories.

Worker-classification requirements depend on the facts and circumstances and may require additional tax or legal review.

Books Behind?

Contractor owners often spend their time managing jobs, supervising crews, meeting customers, purchasing materials, and preparing estimates—and postpone bookkeeping until later.

Historical accounting records can be evaluated to determine whether cleanup is necessary before monthly bookkeeping begins.

Unreconciled accounts
Old receivables
Duplicate transactions
Incorrect subcontractor expenses

Payroll inconsistencies
Loan balance problems
Negative accounts
Owner transactions
Incorrect equipment entries

Learn About Bookkeeping Cleanup

Your Contractor Tax Return Starts With Your Books

Organized bookkeeping helps support review of business income, operating expenses, payroll, subcontractor payments, assets, equipment, vehicle-related costs, loans, owner transactions, and financial statement balances.

Growing Contractor?

As a business grows, accounting can become more complex.

Depending on entity structure, records may need to distinguish payroll, owner compensation, distributions, owner/shareholder contributions, business expenses, and loans between owner and business.

These transactions should not simply be mixed together in the bank feed.
