Huge Construction Company Profit Increases Are From Tiny Changes

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Wed, Jun 19, 2013

Fast Easy Accounting has numerous FREE downloadable Forms for every contractor around the world to use. Click here

We are happy to be able to offer free Invoice templates, free Change Order templates and free estimate templates to construction contractors and other business owners to help them grow their sales and profits and have better lives for their families. 

Contractors and other business owners have come from a local level (Washington State), national level (across the USA), and internationally including Canada, Australia, UK, India, South Africa and many other countries around the world. 

Business success is starting with one little tiny change at a time and then adding another and another and another doing it in such a gradual process it doesn’t seem overwhelming. 

Changes start to add up and over the course of a year it can be a lot. Tiny changes like adding a simple one page website, voicemail, mapping your email to your cell phone and accepting credit card payments can make a huge impact on your bottom line profits.

Each one is just a little thing, a tiny process improvement that helps you be more efficient, have more cash flow and a better life. Several years ago Fast Easy Accounting only did business with clients located in Washington State, with improved processes and cloud solutions we now have clients all over the USA.

We would like to think of everyone who visits the Fast Easy Accounting website as a friend. As friends we exchange emails and ideas to assist one another. Occasionally, we chat with friends and associates in Canada and the UK. Our niche remains Construction Contractors located across the USA and some processes are not practical in other parts of the world outside of the USA.

As Construction Accountants our core focus is the accounting processes, Sales Income, Expense, Net Income, COGS and the Profit and Loss. With good accounting a construction contractor can determine which jobs are profitable, which ones are not and why. The object is to do more of the “Profitable Ones” and less of the “Bargain Tuesday Unprofitable” jobs.

Change Orders are a huge source of new profit. Too often contractors are too busy trying to get the job done they miss a lot of opportunities for increasing sales, profits and most important cash flow. Capturing loose profits by writing up change orders and collecting job deposits can make a big impact to the bottom line profits. Click here to learn more...

Primary software we use is QuickBooks For Contractors Desktop Version in a cloud environment.  We use an Intuit approved Commercial Hosting service to host in the cloud for us the US Version of QuickBooks for Contractors. It is optional that clients need or want access to their QuickBooks For Contractors file. We have a Reports Application (also approved by Intuit) that provides the most Common QuickBooks For Contractors financial reports in a web based environment.

The Short Video Below Tells The Whole Story

We have been Construction Accountants a long, long time and around construction even longer.  Our niche is the small construction contractor who is US Based and usually family owned with zero to 10 employees including owners.  Each construction company has common issues; the solutions are customized to fit their individual needs.

We understand the different phases of construction contracting; New Construction, Remodel or Service Work and each type of contracting may have difference needs related to W.I.P. COGS or Sales Tax. 

The Keys To Our Success: 

Approachable:  Available To You

Communication:  Talking To You Over The Phone

Listening:  We Want To Hear Your Story. 

Topics of discussion with Construction Contractors include What Is Your Biggest Challenge, What Happened Yesterday, What Is Happening Today, What Are Your Hopes For Tomorrow? It is an exchange of ideas and all about you, your hopes, dreams and plans for what is next.

Our Conversation It Is PRIVATE We want to help you achieve your definition of success; we are all the product of our experiences and if there is an idea (an outside the box thought I can share) that is helpful; I will.  

Somewhere in the conversation the topic of construction accounting will come up and We believe QuickBooks for contractors and Fast Easy Accounting can provide you with Construction Bookkeeping Services that can help you with your financial issues of owning and operating a construction company. Reality is that we can help “A Lot” but not “Everyone”.

You don't need to own or operate QuickBooks for contractors to use our services

You do not have to buy or operate QuickBooks or QuickBooks for contractors in order to outsource your construction bookkeeping. You can still enjoy our contractors bookkeeping services and have online access to your financial reports.

We have the ability to lease it through our relationship with an Intuit approved cloud based server to allow 24/7 access to the desktop version of QuickBooks for Contractors so that you will always have the most current version along with automated daily backups and updates.

 

Sometimes a chat with a “Thinking Person” who has “Been There Got The T-Shirt…….” Would be helpful….This type of initial chat is FREE (part of your Free Consultation).  More in-depth consultations about your specific financials are a billable event and you will know ahead of time.  Rule of Thumb: ”Opinions From Experts…….” 

I am approachable call me anytime 206-361-3950

Many of my brand new contractors (and seasoned ones too) are trying to use a Shoebox, other web based online software and are working their way up to QuickBooks.  I am here to help you understand so you can make informed choices for your business based on where you are now and where you want to go.  Understanding the Who, What, When, Where And Why of the individual process is the answer.   

Business Hours 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (PST)

I am available to till 7:00 PM (ish) most days

Staying late allows our clients to drop in as part of a loop at the end of their day. A couple clients find it is easier (faster) for me to pull reports / cut checks / stuff them while they work on bids / make phone calls / etc.....and we chat about management stuff......

Mornings:  I usually start making outbound phone calls at 10:00 AM - use mornings as a flex time.....

Answering emails. As someone who also has a home office, it could be any time after midnight and before dawn (my time) that I will respond to your email…only our active clients receive new emails that early. 

I hope you have downloaded and have been using forms from Fast Easy Accounting.com

Being on the phone most of the day is one of my favorite activities. I’ll Call You - When is a good for you?  Let me know a good day / time. (PST)  Looking forward to our discussion about your business challenges.

We are here to help “A Little” or “A Lot” depending on your needs.
