Contractors thinking and doing what they did while working for somebody else instead of thinking and doing what a business person does. ### **Production First** **This Is The Most Popular -** and yet the hardest and least profitable way to operate a construction company. Contractors thinking and doing what they did while working for somebody else instead of thinking and doing what a business person does. Production is the first thing they think about and do and it happens when a contractor has one or two jobs from friends and relatives. They do what they have always done....they put their tool bags on and go to work! **There is a perception** - They have very little or no overhead and since they want to make a name for themselves they work real cheap. **Some contractors** - Refuse to markup materials or sub-contractor invoices because they want to save their customers money. Everybody needs to benefit from all transactions to keep things fair. If the contractor spends time, effort and expertise they deserve to be paid. **Some Big Hearted** - Good Natured Contractors labor under the illusion that if they work real hard and keep their prices low their business will magically prosper. The reality is they own a JOB, with little or no health insurance, no retirement fund and no benefits! ### **Accounting Second** **When Tax Forms** - Nasty letters, assorted mail and phone calls from the Washington State Department of Revenue, Labor & Industries, Employment Security Department and the IRS 940 and 941 notices pile up you will start thinking about your [bookkeeping](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en) problem. **Bounce Some Checks** - Pay bank fees and pay returned check fees to the stores. Go to another bank and repeat the process twice more.  **The Bookkeeping Path -** Do-It-Yourself / Get Stuck / Take QuickBooks Class / Still Stuck / Hire [Cheap Bookkeeper](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/?Tag=Cheap+Bookkeepers&hsLang=en) / Lose Sleep / Get Aggravated / [Fix The Aggravation](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/bid/91614/The-General-Contractor-s-Aggravation-Box-And-How-He-Fixed-It?hsLang=en) and put a [Bookkeeping system](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/our-bookkeeping-services-system/?hsLang=en) in place and start making money! ### **Marketing Last** **When The Low Hanging Fruit - **Friends and relatives with "honey-Do-Projects" are done they wait for referrals to come rolling in and yet for some unknown reason the phone hardly ever rings. **When The Phone Rings -** It is a "Customer" Not a "Client". There is a HUGE difference between them. A "Customer" is looking for an "honest contractor" also known as someone who works for less than dirt wages and will throw in lots of extras at NO CHARGE! **Business Cards** - Are printed and words like "Quality" "Best" "Low Prices" which means nothing because Quality and speed are the standard operating procedure now. The question is what makes this company different from all the other contractors?  What is their USP (Unique Selling Proposition)? ##  **Our [Contractor Bookkeeping Services System](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/our-bookkeeping-services-system/?hsLang=en) Is A System** ## [![Contractors Bookkeeping Services](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-200239143-png/images/fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-profit-and-growth-specialists.png?width=575&height=468&name=fast-easy-accounting-206-361-3950-contractors-bookkeeping-services-profit-and-growth-specialists.png)](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/quickbooks-for-contractors-set-up-properly/?hsLang=en) ## ****M.A.P. = ****Marketing**** Accounting ****Production******** ### **“Success In Construction Is A Simple Discipline Practiced Everyday” - Randalism** ![“Success In Construction Is A Few Simple Disciplines Practiced Everyday” - Randalism](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-68935738-png/images/contractors-bookkeeping-and-accounting-services-fast-easy-accounting-success-through-m-a-p.png?width=524&height=79&name=contractors-bookkeeping-and-accounting-services-fast-easy-accounting-success-through-m-a-p.png) **This Is The Least Popular -** and yet the most profitable way to operate a construction company.

[![80/20 Rule Top 20%](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hs-fs/file-27186853-png/images/80-20_rule_diagram_top_20-resized-600.png?width=525&height=433&name=80-20_rule_diagram_top_20-resized-600.png)](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en)The frightening consequence of the 80/20 rule is that 8 out of 10 hours we spend at work drive almost no value to the bottom line and the biggest drain is trying to save money doing our own contractor bookkeeping services instead of reviewing the [Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Reports](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/reports-for-your-construction-company/?hsLang=en).

This is the great contribution a company receives from good QuickBooks® data and from using QuickBooks® the ‘right-way’. What are you good at and what do they love to pay you money to do for them? What jobs have you done that made a positive difference in people lives? What projects did you have so much fun doing that time seemed to fly by? **Take the information** - Outlined above and write a story to describe the people you enjoy working for because they are your "Prime Customers" and they are your target market. **Document** - The demographic and psychographic profiles of the people you enjoy working for and why. **Develop Your Business Plan** - Using the [Eleven Steps Program](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/Your-Construction-Company-Business-Development-Outline/?hsLang=en) and pay close attention to the marketing section because that is where you will decide what niche of the construction market you will dominate. Know that in time your company will become legendary to such a degree you clients will be raving fans and referrals will be part of your marketing strategy. Nordstrom has been very successful at this and it would be wise to learn from the leaders. ### **Accounting Next** ****[Outsource Your Contractors Accounting Services](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/construction-bookkeeping-services-outsourced/?hsLang=en)**** - To a firm that specializes in Construction Bookkeeping and Accounting because it is a chore for you and in most cases we can do the job for much less than an [in-house bookkeeper](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/?Tag=Cheap+Bookkeepers&hsLang=en) because we have a [system](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/our-bookkeeping-services-system/?hsLang=en).  **But Wait There's More-** We have remote servers which means you can have 24/7 access to your [QuickBooks desktop version](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/quickbooks-desktop-online/?hsLang=en) **Learn To Read Your Financial Reports **- We can guide you on which reports to pay attention too and why certain reports can make you more money than other ones.

Everything we publish in our blog posts, articles in other websites, and anything you can find on the web is nothing compared to what is available to you as our client. We show only the basic tools to open your mind to the possibilities that are available to you. The best finish carpentry tools in the hands of a golf professional without proper carpentry training will not produce anything near to what a skilled finish carpenter can. The same can be said about the best construction business consulting and accounting tools in the hands of a skilled finish carpenter. And I say that with respect and admiration for everyone in construction. You went into business for yourself for a variety of reasons and in most cases you thought all you had to do was get good jobs, do the work and you would make a lot of money. In a very short while you got a rude wake-up-call and your reality check bounced. You found out getting the jobs and doing the work was only a small part of being a contractor. What started out as an adventure turned into something not as fun as you thought it would be and then it degenerated into a nightmare as you discovered the three accounting nightmares all contractors face. #1 Calculating And Processing Payroll #2 Calculating And Filing A Slew Of Tax Returns #3 Figuring Out Which Customers And Jobs Are Profitable And Which Ones To Avoid Like The Plague **[When You Become A Client](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/hello-future-client/?hsLang=en)** - Then we can tap into our resources of knowledge and strategy banks.
