General Contractor Business Cycle - And So It Begins!

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Thu, Sep 15, 2011

I Just Started My Brand New Construction Business!  I Am A Contractor!  This Is Easy!

I have all of the tools I need.  I don’t know why my boss has been making such a big deal out of everything. 

After all, I’m the one who has been doing all the hard work while he’s been getting all the money.  It’s about time that I started making “The Big Bucks”! 

I talked to all my friends and the phone is ringing. I giving everyone one I know a good deal and a low price because of the simple fact that I have no overhead!

This is easy – I give my customers an Estimate / Do A Little Work / Collect A Check / Spend The Money

Soon I will have the perfect mobile office. My old boss was just a Cheapskate”!

Today more than ever, it is necessary to have a properly setup QuickBooks file and maintain it. Someone with the knowledge and training combined with an understanding of construction to Set-Up, Clean-Up, Tidy-Up and maintain your QuickBooks.

Customized reports hold many answers to the WHO Questions – Who Owes Money To Whom?  Who is your Best Customer? and who Is your #1 Favorite Customer and are they adding or taking profits and cash flow?  How do they fit on The 80/20 Rule?

Some customers ask for very detailed invoicing and all the receipts before they will pay their contractor.  Have you found at times you give away the profit of the job just to get your money? 

What you don’t know can keep you up at night instead of focusing on new clients!

Year over year and regardless of the economy one thing never changes; 20% of the contractors earn and keep 80% of the profits because they have a Business Process Management Strategy like our Contractors Success M.A.P. that tells them how, what, when, where and why to focus their limited resources on the M.A.P. = Marketing / Accounting / Production.

The 80/20 Rule Combined With Business Process Management

Can Improve Your Life In Ways You Never Dreamed Possible!

Fast Easy Accounting  The 80 20 Rule For Construction

Do you have any Sales Tax Issues? Do you feel you are paying Sales Tax twice?

Want to hire employees?  Have questions about all those Government Forms?    

Are you getting nasty phone calls? Has a government tax agency levied your bank account? 

In Construction, having good bookkeeping is more than entering the receipts into QuickBooks and using it like a checkbook register. Starting where you are: We help “A Little” or “A Lot” depending on your individual needs.

We take shoeboxes, file boxes, all the receipts hidden under the seat and on the dashboard and we turn them into useable data that can generate some meaningful reports you can use to make intelligent decisions.

And along the way – we help with item lists, detailed customer invoicing (pay applications click here for a sample) and job costing.  

We handle the paperwork; you handle your money and focus on the management tasks that only you can do

We have a construction background so we understand what your dealing with in the field and the office.  

Today more than ever, it is necessary to have a properly setup QuickBooks file and maintain it. Someone with the knowledge and training combined with an understanding of construction to Set-Up, Clean-Up, Tidy-Up and update your QuickBooks because there are way too many tasks for one person to learn, master and do it right.

We are here to help - Let’s start with a quick conversation………please introduce yourself
