Bookkeeping for Contractors in Tampa Bay
or call (727) 205-5022
Why It Matters
Why Contractors Need Specialized Bookkeeping
Contracting isn’t like other businesses. Your revenue is project-based, your costs shift with every job, and your cash flow depends on when customers pay, not when you finish the work. A generic bookkeeper misses these dynamics. We don’t.
Our founder Andrew Murphy managed operations and owned the P&L for two trades businesses at Apex Service Partners, a private equity-backed home services firm. We’ve been on your side of the books.
Tide & Ledger provides weekly bookkeeping, financial reporting, and QuickBooks services specifically for contractors in Tampa Bay. We work with general contractors, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and specialty trades across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties.
Job Costing
Knowing which jobs make money and which ones don't. Without job-level tracking, you're guessing at your margins. We set up QuickBooks to track costs by job, by crew, and by cost category so you see the real picture.
Seasonal Cash Flow
Tampa's construction calendar creates predictable revenue swings. We build cash flow forecasts that account for slow months and help you plan for them instead of getting caught off guard.
Subcontractor Management
1099 tracking, lien waiver coordination, and sub payment scheduling. We keep the paperwork straight so you don't have compliance surprises at year-end.
Equipment and Vehicle Tracking
Depreciation schedules, financing payments, and maintenance costs organized and ready for your CPA at tax time.
