# **Why Tax Accountants Make Bad Construction Accountants**

**[Tax Accountants](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en) -** [Can kill more cash flow and profit](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en) in your construction company in less than an hour using a [messed up QuickBooks file](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-cleanup-for-your-tax-preparer/?hsLang=en) to prepare your construction company annual tax return than you can make up for in sales and hard work six months, if not six years. This is because saving you money on your tax bill is not what they are paid to do; [they are paid to fill out tax returns](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en).

**This Is Not A Bad Thing -** Rather it is a simple fact of business, people and companies do what they are paid to do. Tax Accountants also do not form, place and finish stamped concrete driveways at high noon on a hot summer day and they do not frame houses or rough-in plumbing, electrical or HVAC for the same reason; that is not their primary skillsets and they are not paid to do it.

**Professional Accountants -** Understand the relationship between QuickBooks and the Internal Revenue Service, IRS and the importance of paying the right amount of taxes; however, most construction company owners do not understand this relationship until it is too late and they have to turn messed up QuickBooks over to the IRS auditor. [Read More..](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-and-the-irs-internal-revenue-service/?hsLang=en)

**[Tax Accountants](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en)** - Are good people and have their place; however, not involved with regular accounting, [bookkeeping](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en) or even worse [contractors bookkeeping and accounting](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en).

**[Construction Accountants](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../about/?hsLang=en)** - Should not be preparing annual tax returns because nobody can serve two masters. Either be a tax accountant and serve the tax collection agencies or be a [construction accountant](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en) and serve contractors.

**How Many Times Have You** - Hired a [construction worker](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/construction-worker-thinking-pattens/?hsLang=en) with the expectation they understood how what to do and then found out they did not have a clue? It happens all the time and the first thing that crosses your mind cannot be posted on this blog. The next thing you do is take action and fix it!

**How Many Times Have Accounting Firms** - Hired what appeared to be a [Professional Bookkeeper](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../professional-bookkeepers-traits/?hsLang=en) only to discover they had all the [traits of a Bad Bookkeeper?](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bad-bookkeeper-traits/?hsLang=en) It happens all too often and action is taken to fix the problem!

**You Have Mastered Construction - **So you knew what to look for and very quickly you knew if someone has the skillsets you need or not.

**We Have Mastered [Construction Accounting](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bookkeeping-services-for-construction-companies/?hsLang=en) **-**** So we know what to look for and very quickly we know if someone has the skillsets we need and we proceed accordingly.

**You Know What Happens** - When you send your best [Rough Carpenter](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../construction-worker-thinking-pattens/?hsLang=en) that you pay piece work for framing spec tract houses from the ground up in all kinds of weather and working conditions to install some custom made cherry wood cabinets with gold plated pulls and knobs in the home of your best client who happens to live in the wealthiest neighborhood in your town and it is not a pretty sight, is it?

**[Rough Carpenters](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/construction-worker-thinking-pattens/?hsLang=en) -** Are good people and they know what they know; which is why he will arrive at your best client's home wearing muddy work boots, wearing bib overhauls, smoking a cigarette, un-shaven, with an attitude, and walk across the white plush carpet while carrying a heavy duty fifty foot power cords, a five gallon bucket full of rough carpentry tools including a worm-drive circular saw and a sazall with an 18 tooth blade. He is exactly the person you need to get spec tract houses framed, on time, on budget! Enough said? For more on this see [Construction Psychology.](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../Construction-Psychology/?hsLang=en)

[**Tax Accountants**](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-cleanup-for-your-tax-preparer/?hsLang=en) - Operate like Rough Carpenters because they work fast and furious and they are paid piece work. The main difference is they earn the bulk of their income for the year in three and one-half months. This means they do not waste any time going through your receipts to make certain you get all the deductions you are entitled too.

**The Dirty Little Secret -** Is most [tax accountants](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-cleanup-for-your-tax-preparer/?hsLang=en) have software that gets the numbers from [QuickBooks](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks/?hsLang=en)or whatever system you are using and it puts it directly into the tax form.

**Which Means -** If your [**QuickBooks Is Setup Properly**](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-for-contractors-set-up-properly/?hsLang=en) and all the transactions are input correctly you could save you some serious money on your tax bill because the tax preparation software will find most if not all of the deductions you are entitled too.

**You Must Understand That Saving You Money** - On your tax bill is not what they paid to do; [they get paid to fill out as many tax returns](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en) as possible is shortest amount of time during the harvest season between January 1 and April 15th.

**If Your [QuickBooks](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-clean-up-emergency/?hsLang=en) -** Is a mess they might recommend a [Cheap Bookkeeping Service](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../bad-bookkeeper-traits/?hsLang=en) working out of their home who will put everything into [QuickBooks](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks/?hsLang=en) in a way that [makes it easy and quick for them to prepare the tax return](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../tax-accounting-vs-managemement-accounting/?hsLang=en) with little or no regard for saving you money on your tax bill.

**If They Really Care** - About you they will recommend a [construction accounting firm like us](https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/../quickbooks-cleanup-for-your-tax-preparer/?hsLang=en). We get referrals from professional tax accountants and we refer annual tax preparation work back to them.

**Profitable Contractors and Construction Company owners** have known about the value of outsourced bookkeeping services and contractor coaching services like ours for a long time and now you know about it too! 

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
