CONTRACTOR BOOKKEEPING

Your P&L can lie. The job can't.

Job-costed books for contractors who are busy, growing, and tired of guessing which jobs made money.

THE PROBLEM

Fully booked is not the same as profitable.

The company P&L is green. The bank is not.

Revenue looks fine on paper. But cash is tight, draws are inconsistent, and nobody can explain the gap.

Jobs are not coded. Margin is a rumor.

Every job runs through the same expense bucket. You finish the year not knowing which jobs made money and which ones cost you.

A generic bookkeeper recon'd the bank and called it done.

Bank rec is the floor, not the ceiling. Contractor books need job codes, retainage, subs, and change orders — not just a cleared statement.

HOW IT WORKS
Week 0

20-min fit call

We learn your trade, software, and how far behind you are. You get a tier and a cleanup quote.

Week 1

Access + setup

Bank access, chart of accounts, job rules. We build the structure before we touch a transaction.

Weeks 2–4

Cleanup + first close

We work back through the mess. First close delivered before we go recurring.

Month 2+

Close by the 15th

Same pack every month. Jobs, cash, AR, flags. You know where you stand.

BUILT BY AN OPERATOR

Built by an operator, not a recon shop.

The founder scaled a solar install and sales company from $0 to $60M. FieldLedger exists because contractor books are not small-business books with a hard hat. We built the system we needed and couldn't find.
