Free 30-Minute Consultation — no commitment, real insight
Construction & Trades

Know what each job actually made, before the next one starts.

Generic bookkeeping tells you total revenue and total expenses. Job costing tells you which projects were profitable and which ones quietly lost money.

We file GST/HST and PST for every client, in every industry — it's included starting with the Basic package.

Where generic bookkeeping falls short

  • Materials and labour costs aren't tracked by job, so profitable and unprofitable projects look the same.
  • Progress billing and holdbacks are tracked in spreadsheets, disconnected from the accounting system.
  • Subcontractor payments and WCB/insurance compliance get handled reactively.

What we handle for you

  • Job costing set up by project, tracking materials, labour, and overhead
  • Progress billing and holdback tracking
  • Subcontractor payment tracking and T5018 preparation
  • Payroll including WCB/workers' comp remittances
