CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTING

Hire a Remote Construction Project Accountant

Pre-vetted project accountants who keep job costs, billing and cash flow on track for US contractors, without adding local payroll.

What a project accountant does for you

Job Costing

Costs coded to the right jobs and phases, so you know which projects make money.

WIP Schedules

Monthly work-in-progress reports that show over- and under-billing.

AIA Progress Billing

Accurate G702/G703 pay applications prepared on schedule.

Retainage Tracking

Retainage receivable and payable tracked job by job, so nothing goes uncollected.

Subcontractor Compliance

Lien waivers, insurance certificates and W-9s collected before payments go out.

Change Order Tracking

Approved and pending change orders recorded against budgets and billings.

Works in your tools

Tell us your accounting and project tools (QuickBooks, Xero, Procore, Excel or your own templates), and we’ll shortlist project accountants who already use them. They follow your month-end and billing process.
