Chronic Bookkeeping Pain Comes From Trying To Do It Yourself, Hiring Cheap Bookkeepers and Tax Preparers Pretending To Be Bookkeepers
You Went Into Business - Because you had a passion to do something great and make a lot of money or change the way things were done in your profession.
Some Of The Best - Framers, drywallers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC mechanics, roofers, landscapers, construction project managers and other tradespeople have become wealthy construction business owners been very successful and I say more power to you!
The Four Year Apprenticeship - Is the original college degree. No matter what your trade is you spent a period of time learning and practicing it under the guidance of a master or on your own. It takes 10,000 hours of practice to master any trade and more to maintain and grow in it and so you earned the right to be your own boss.
The Tactical Side Of Your Construction Business - Is where most new contractors start by focusing on what they know how to do the tactical side of the business; bending pipe and pulling wire (Electrician), running pipe (Plumber), rolling trusses (Framer), putting mud on the ground (cement finisher), laying sod (landscaper), dirt work (Excavation), hanging cabinets (Finish Carpenter), hanging board (Drywaller) and all other construction trades.
The Strategic Side Of Your Construction Business - Bookkeeping, monthly and quarterly tax returns, sales tax returns, Labor and Industries payroll tax returns, reconciling the checking account with the bank to know how much cash is available, paying bills and collecting money gets in the way of the real work; the tactical side.
There Are - Good Bookkeepers, Bad Bookkeepers, Cheap Bookkeepers, Incompetent Bookkeepers and Tax Preparers Who Look For Fill In Work Between Tax Seasons and what you don't know can cost you a bundle of money.
The Third Quarter Blues - It takes roughly three calendar quarters, Jan-Mar / Apr-June / July - Sept / Oct - Dec before the tax agencies will bother you. They like to fatten you up a bit for the slaughter; at least that is what it will feel like when it happens.
Let's Take One Example Washington State Sales Tax
In This Example - If your Washington State Department of Revenue Combined Excise Tax Return is not filed and paid on time the effective annual interest rate is steep:
-
51% - For 01 days late
-
83% - For 65 days late
-
136% - For 66 days late
-
???? - After 66 days it could get real ugly
-
Additional - Charges interest and penalties could apply
How Sales Are Reported - Cash Or Accrual Makes A Big Difference!

Chronic Bookkeeping Headaches For Contractors
Things That Make You See RED!
Are You In Trouble With - The IRS or one of the many tax agencies in Washington State?
Are You A General Contractor - Remodeler, specialty contractor, handyman, commercial tenant improvement contractor, spec or custom home builder?
Do You Need Help With - Bookkeeping, Payroll Processing, Prevailing Wage, Quarterly Tax reports, Invoicing, Job Costing, G702 / G703, Custom Pay Applications, Work In Process, bank loans, lines of credit performance bonds?
If You Answered Yes To Any Of These Questions You Are At The Right Place!
My Name Is Randal DeHart, co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting and I have a background in construction and construction accounting. I have owned and operated construction firms, bid jobs, done the work, collected the money, made payroll and paid the taxes which means I have been where you are now.
We Specialize In Working With - Construction companies like yours by becoming your back office accounting department. We can perform all the duties of an in-house bookkeeper in most cases for less money and provide you with 24/7 access to the desktop version of your QuickBooks including backing up the file every night using our cloud computing service that we have contract with to provide those services.
Your Biggest Bookkeeping Headache Is Taxes - Every contractor I have ever known in the past 25+ years at one time or another has experienced tax troubles. They forgot to file a tax form, they did not know about a tax form or they simply ran short of money to pay the taxes. We have an answer for this problem!
Your Second Biggest Bookkeeping Headache Is Invoicing - This is your ticket to get paid. You need all your costs in QuickBooks so that your invoices are accurate. Your customers want an invoice that is easy to understand yet it has to show the original contract price, percent that is complete, change orders, deposits and more so you end up trying to force QuickBooks to do it, using a G702 / G703 or attempting to develop a custom pay application in Excel. We have an answer for this problem!
Your Third Biggest Bookkeeping Headache Is Payroll - Making sure it is done right and on time including the payroll checks that have to be made outside the normal payday, filing the tax reports, keeping track of the loans to employees and the end of the year W-2’s and W-3. We have an answer for this problem!
Your Fourth Biggest Bookkeeping Headache Is Job Profitability - Knowing for certain which customers and jobs are making money for you and which ones you are losing money on. Also known as the 80/20 rule which says 80% of your profit is coming from 20% of your customers. We have an answer for this problem!
