Finally Know Which Jobs Are Actually Making You Money

The Construction Accounting Diagnostic for GCs and Specialty Trades Who Are Done Guessing

If you’re a contractor doing $500K or more and you can’t pull a project-level P&L on demand — your books aren’t built for construction.


This isn’t a bookkeeping problem. It’s a setup problem. And it’s fixable.

You’re Running the Business. But Can You Answer These?

  • Which job last quarter was the most profitable?

  • Are you currently overbilled or underbilled on active projects?

  • What did that last remodel actually cost vs. what you estimated?

  • Are your change orders showing up as revenue in your books?

  • Does your P&L reflect how your business actually runs?

If any of those felt uncomfortable — the books aren’t the problem. The setup is.

That’s not your fault. It’s the most common gap we find.

Case Study: Real Work. Real Results.

$500K Revenue | General Contractor | Completed Engagement

What we found:

→ Chart of accounts built for a general business, not a contractor

→ No QBO Projects or Classes — all job expenses in one bucket

→ Change orders completed but never captured as revenue

→ Invoices not linked to projects


What we fixed:

✓ Rebuilt COA for construction from scratch

✓ Configured QBO Projects and Classes for every active job

✓ Set up estimates to capture and match change order revenue

✓ Matched invoices to projects across the full job history

Result: Project-level P&L on any job in under 60 seconds.
