Construction-only ledgers
Direct labour, rentals, permits and sub draws never hide in overhead. Every direct dollar lives on a job and phase code.
Why construction needs its own records
Built for contractors tired of flying blind.
Standard small-business bookkeeping treats an Asheville custom builder or HVAC contractor the same way it treats a retail boutique. Pinework exists because construction cash flow runs by different rules.
What changes when records are built right
Cash in the bank isn’t earned profit.
When a homeowner hands you a $45,000 deposit on Monday, cash-basis books make the month look wildly profitable until framing lumber and rough-in subs land sixty days later. A monthly WIP schedule shows how much of that cash is truly yours.
Payroll class splits and current subcontractor certificates are kept in order all year, so the annual workers’ comp and general liability audit takes hours, not weeks.
Four commitments
What every builder and trade client can expect from us.
Practical field workflows
If a receipt or timecard routine is too complicated for a foreman in a pickup truck, it fails. We set up mobile capture crews actually use.
Field numbers in future bids
Every completed job closes with an estimate-versus-actual scorecard, so your estimator bids from proven field history, not gut instinct.
Confidential by default
Bid sheets, crew rates and client contracts stay strictly confidential.
Who we serve
Builders and specialty trades.
Custom builders, remodellers, commercial general contractors and specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, excavation and millwork), typically running $750K to $25M in annual contract volume.
Who we work beside
Your CPA and surety agent.
We don’t replace your tax CPA or bonding agent. We hand them clean year-end WIP schedules, retainage reconciliations and fixed-asset logs they can trust straight away.
