We love working with contractors, consultants, and service-based industries, where smart financial management keeps you profitable and helps you build lasting client relationships. Whether you’re a contractor, a consultant, a law firm, or any other service business, we’ve got you covered, so your financials are as strong as your services.
Accounting Made Easy for Contractors, Consultants & Service-Based Industries
Here are a few of the ways we love to help:
Systems Review
Are you using the best tools for the job? We’ll review your current software stack to see if there are more efficient or scalable solutions available. We can also review for redundant or manual tasks that can be automated. We’ll identify inefficiencies and recommend tools or strategies to improve productivity.
Custom-Tailored Record-Keeping
We’ll help you set up a chart of accounts that speaks directly to your industry, services, and unique business model, ensuring every transaction is tracked with absolute clarity.
Timely & Efficient Invoicing
Get paid faster! We ensure your invoicing is prompt, clear, and aligned with your agreements—whether that’s at the time of service delivery or based on project milestones. Cash flow is the lifeblood of your business, and we help you keep it flowing.
Mastering Cash Flow Management
With expert guidance, you’ll maintain a steady cash flow and make sure your business has the liquidity it needs to thrive, even during lean months.
Accrual vs. Cash-Based Accounting
Maximize financial accuracy with accrual-based accounting, the gold standard for service businesses. We help you recognize revenue when it’s earned—not when the cash hits your account—so you can make smarter, more informed decisions.
Mastering Work-in-Progress (WIP) Accounting
For businesses with ongoing projects, we’ll help you estimate the value of work in progress and accurately track the percentage of completion. This
ensures you’re capturing revenue at each stage of your projects, and not leaving money on the table.
Maximizing Service Margins
Know exactly which services and clients are driving your profits. We’ll calculate your service margins to pinpoint areas for growth and ensure your services remain profitable.
KPI Tracking
A successful business needs clear, measurable goals. We’ll help you establish the right KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that align with your strategic objectives and implement customized financial dashboards for easy monitoring.
