Frequently asked questions
What makes cost and job accounting different from regular bookkeeping?
Regular bookkeeping just tracks income and expenses. Cost and job accounting digs deeper — every expense is tied to a specific job, so you know exactly which projects are profitable and which aren’t.
Do I need cost accounting if I already have a bookkeeper or CPA?
Yes. Most bookkeepers and CPAs focus on tax prep and compliance. Cost accounting gives you real-time insight into job performance, overhead allocation, and cash flow — the numbers you actually need to run your business day-to-day.
Can you work with any type of trade or contractor?
Absolutely. We support general contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, roofers, and more. If your work is project-based, cost/job accounting will keep you profitable.
Do you offer financial consulting services?
Yes, we go beyond bookkeeping. We analyze your jobs, overhead, and cash flow to provide strategic insight so you can make smarter business decisions.
