We Make Bookkeeping Easy For Construction Company Owners

Posted by Randal DeHart on Fri, Sep 09, 2011

We Are Easy To Do Business With

When a Construction business owner is searching for the right bookkeeping service they learn to walk on egg shells and try not to offend the “Great And Powerful PooBah Accountant” 

Picture this typical scene: 

Construction business owner calls a bookkeeping service and is greeted by an overworked bookkeeper who is irritated because the phone rang when what they need to do is get the balance of some other clients paperwork entered into QuickBooks.

The construction business owners tries to explain what they need; however, the person on the other end of the phone who does not understand construction or construction bookkeeping and accounting begins making silly assumptions or asking ridiculous questions and in short order the contractor gives up and hangs up.

Our professional bookkeepers do not answer the phone. Sharie, our dedicated staff person experienced in construction businesses and a deep background in construction bookkeeping and accounting. When you call we do our best to listen to what you have to say and thoroughly understand your situation and you can take your time to explain your concerns and frustrations.

Fifth Layer – How Do I Get Started

We are process driven which means we have a system in place to make the transition as smooth as possible. Step one in downloading our get started guide below

Sixth Layer – We Repair Your QuickBooks File

Most new clients QuickBooks file is a bit messy…in some cases it is a train wreck and it needs to be cleaned up and repaired so that you as the business owner can begin to get the reports you need to generate more money to operate and grow your business.

Seventh Layer – You Make More Money With Your Strategic Management System

What if I said there are is a gold mine full of different size nuggets waiting for you to discover them and cash in…would you be interested?  Of course you are!  A smooth running QuickBooks file properly setup and repaired will generate the reports you need. With a bit of training you will see instantly where you can save money and make more new money.

We have worked with many construction companies and in a very short time we have found enough money between savings and increasing revenues to more than pay for our services.

Here are two of the processes we have:

#1 The 80/20 Rule

The 80/20 rule says 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers. These customers generally do not need much attention and do not give you any grief and we can help you find them using your QuickBooks reports. 

Yet most contractors spend most of their time, money and effort on the bottom 80% of their customers that generate 20% of their profits.

They do it because the bottom feeders, low price, you need to “sharpen your pencil”, give me a good deal on this job and I have a hundred more just like it customers are the “squeaky wheels”.  The contractor is running around town feverously with a bucket of grease trying to quiet them down.

 #2 Earn Massive Amounts Of Interest On The Money You Are Already Spending

Many contractors have opportunities to invest money wisely and get up to 36% annualized return on your money. Not bad in an economy where the bank pays less than 2% interest.

Here is how it works if you have a supplier that offers you a 2% discount if you pay your bill by the 10th of the month or all of it by the 30th of the month; then what they are really saying is “If you want to borrow our money for 20 days will charge you 2% interest.

Now take 360 days in a year (actually 365 ¼ but let’s make the math fast and easy) and divide it by 20 you get 360/20=18 Periods. Now 18 periods x 2% = 36% annual interest rate.

Pay the bill by the 10th and you just made 36% annualized return on your money

Eighth Layer – Hire Us Because We Have Been There Many Times

Once you are approved and invited to become a client the magic starts and you enter a whole new world of bookkeeping unlike anything you have ever seen or experienced. 

There is a concept which I call "Leveling":

If you spend enough time around lawyers you could become a lawyer - it is called Law School

If you spend enough time around doctors you could become a doctor - it is called Medical School

If you spend enough time around wealthy people you could become wealthy - it is called being our client

Find and mentor that has been where you want to go.
