Bookkeeping & payroll built for the trades
Know which jobs make money, stay compliant on public works, and hand your CPA clean books every year.
Sound familiar?
You can't tell which jobs are profitable
Costs land in one big bucket, so bids are based on gut feel.
You just won a public works job
Now you owe weekly certified payroll and prevailing wage rates you've never filed.
The books are months behind
Tax time is coming and your CPA keeps asking for the same reports.
What you get
- Job costing by project: labor, materials, and subs coded to each job so you see real margins.
- Progress billing tracking: know where each job stands on billed vs. earned.
- Payroll for crews: pay runs, direct deposit, Oregon OQ/WR, federal 941/940, W-2s, and 1099s for subs.
- Monthly statements and year-end books ready for your CPA.
Certified payroll, done right
Contractors on Oregon public works must file a certified payroll statement for every week workers are on the job, submitted to the contracting agency monthly by the 5th business day. Mistakes mean withheld payments and BOLI penalties.
I prepare your WH-38 statements from your time records, check prevailing wage rates, and keep audit-ready records.
