You’ve got goals for your construction company, like taking on bigger projects, growing your book of business, managing job costs and obtaining desired licenses.

We can help you in a way that best fits your business, be it a la carte services or a complete outsourced accounting solution (or somewhere in between).

Whether you need to complement your existing financial staff or take it off your plate entirely, our construction CPAs can provide a customized accounting solution that suits your needs — and grows with you.

Construction accounting, reporting and software are complicated. There are many methods of accounting that can be used in your industry. And you have multiple construction jobs running simultaneously, with each job requiring you to monitor its budget, cash flow, job progress, expenditures… It’s almost like running several businesses at once.

So it stands to reason that construction accounting involves much more than debits and credits. Do you have the tools and reporting you need? And do you really understand how to read them (and the story they are telling you)?

As knowledgeable construction CPAs, we can help you with these and other complexities you encounter. We invite you to leverage our expertise to help run your business better and more profitably.

When bidding and obtaining a bid bond for a proposal, time is of the essence. The last thing you need is a delay caused by a CPA unfamiliar with the importance of responding quickly to bid-related requests—or a communications gap between you, your CPA, your bonding agent and the surety. You also don’t want to have difficulty explaining your financial statements to surety professionals.

Timely, clear and consistent financial communication with your bond agent and surety underwriter is critical to maintain or increase your bonding capacity so that you can continue to replenish and grow your backlog.

Our construction CPAs can help paint your financial story in the best light and make sure there are no misunderstandings. We understand the surety underwriting process, and we can effectively bridge the communication and knowledge gaps between your company and other parties.

With the growth in new construction, many construction companies face an increasing need for qualified workers—from general laborers to plumbers, masons, electricians and other skilled tradespeople. If you don’t have a qualified workforce, you have a delay on the job that costs you time and money.

As a result, many construction companies are turning to outsourced human resources service providers to address their needs. From recruiting and retention to long-term personnel planning, external HR consulting helps firms like yours find and retain qualified employees to jobs done faster and better.

Our HR Solutions team brings decades of combined experience to your company so that you can find the right help for your jobs. We can also show you how to stay in compliance with ever-changing employment regulations and safety requirements in order to protect your company from costly lawsuits and state and federal penalties.

From a one-time consult to a consistent HR presence, we have a solution for every firm.

In construction, families and key management team members often work together and stay in business for decades. So it’s expected that a construction company will continue operating long after the founder retires. Yet many owners have no transition plan established.

Leaving the helm might seem like a long way off, but time moves quickly and life (like projects) doesn’t always go as planned. A written transition plan ensures that your vision for your firm is fulfilled and protects your family, your employees, and your customers.

We have the construction transition planning knowledge to help contractors prepare for an expected (or unexpected) transfer of ownership. By drafting a written plan documenting the steps to be taken when the time comes, you and your team will have peace of mind knowing that nothing is left to chance.
