Job costing, percentage of completion, retention. We've worked with dozens of construction companies in Washington. We understand your business model, your challenges, and what metrics matter most to you and your investors.
Construction accounting is job costing first and everything else second. Revenue recognized percentage-of-completion, retainage sitting on the balance sheet for months, change orders that alter contract value mid-job, and multi-state payroll — none of it is handled by a standard accounting setup, and all of it decides whether a job that looked profitable actually was.

Retainage receivable is tracked as its own balance sheet line, separate from ordinary AR, with aging by job. Burying 5–10% of contract value inside standard receivables makes both your collections picture and your working capital look better than they are.
Bank, card and payment-processor reconciliation to zero unexplained difference; AP and AR aging tied to their balance sheet control accounts; payroll and employer taxes posted and reconciled; accruals, prepaids and deferred revenue booked; depreciation posted; a full balance sheet reconciliation with a schedule behind every account; and a variance review against budget and prior month before anything is distributed.
Ten business days is a comfortable standard for most businesses under $20M, and that is what we run to. Five is realistic for a simple single-entity company with automated feeds. If yours takes twenty, the cause is almost always sequencing rather than staffing — cash has to reconcile before AP, AP before accruals, accruals before the P&L means anything.
Yes. Budget roughly 1.5x the normal monthly rate for each month being cleaned up, with a floor around $1,500. Twelve months behind at an $800/month run rate is realistically a $10,000–$15,000 project, and it has to finish before ongoing work produces trustworthy numbers.
