Construction Bookkeeping and Job Costing for Contractors, Builders & Remodelers
Are your construction books months or years behind, and you can't see which jobs made money?
When job costs sit in one expense pile, your P&L shows a company total but never the profit on each project.
That is where I come in.
I'm Fatima Arshad, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with 5 years of construction bookkeeping for contractors, remodelers and trades in the USA, Canada and Australia.
My construction bookkeeping services cover:
- Construction chart of accounts
- Job costing with every job as a project
- Materials, labor and subcontractors per job
- Subcontractor 1099 tracking and W9 list
- Customer deposits and progress billing
- Retainage receivable and payable
- Equipment loans and depreciation
- Bank and credit card reconciliation
- Job profit reports, P&L and Balance Sheet
You will see the profit on every job, and your CPA gets tax ready books with a clean 1099 list in January.
I also do historical construction bookkeeping cleanup and catch up for 2025, 2024, 2023 or earlier.
Message me with your number of jobs and months behind, and let's get your books job costed.

FAQ
Can you show me profit per job in QuickBooks Online?
Yes. I set up every job as a project in QuickBooks and tag materials, subcontractors, labor and equipment rental to it. You see income, costs and profit for each job, not just a company total.
How do you handle customer deposits and progress billing?
I record deposits as a liability until the work is earned, then apply them to your progress invoices. Billed to date and cost to date stay side by side on every job.
Can you track retainage for my construction company?
Yes, on both sides. I move the retainage your customers hold back to Retainage Receivable, and the amounts you hold from subcontractors to Retainage Payable until release.
How do you track subcontractors for 1099 filing?
I set up each subcontractor as a 1099 vendor, keep their payments in one report and list any missing W9 forms. In January your 1099 list is ready, using the new $2,000 threshold for 2026 payments.
Can you record equipment and vehicles bought on loans?
Yes. I record the equipment as a fixed asset, split every loan payment into principal and interest, and keep a depreciation schedule your CPA can use for Section 179 or bonus depreciation.
Can you do historical construction bookkeeping for 2023, 2024 and 2025?
Yes, I can do construction bookkeeping catch up and cleanup for 2025, 2024, 2023 and earlier years. I work the years in order, reconcile each one to the bank and deliver job reports, P&L and Balance Sheet per year.
Do you work with Buildertrend, Jobber or other construction apps?
Yes. Buildertrend, Jobber and similar apps sync invoices and bills into QuickBooks Online. I match those entries to the bank, remove duplicates the sync creates and keep each cost in the right job.
Are you a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor?
Yes, I'm a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with an MBA in Finance and over 120 QuickBooks projects delivered, including contractors, fence installers and remodelers.
What do you need from me to start the construction bookkeeping?
QuickBooks accountant access, bank and card statements for the period, your job list with customer names and your subcontractor list. If a receipt is missing, I'll list the transactions for you to confirm.
Do you offer monthly construction bookkeeping after the cleanup?
Yes. Every month I post costs to jobs, reconcile your accounts and send job profit reports with your P&L and Balance Sheet, so you price the next bid on real numbers. Message me for a monthly rate based on your volume.
