Keep materials, subcontractor payments, equipment, fuel, customer deposits, credit cards, and owner activity organized in QuickBooks Online so the financial reports are easier to understand and the books stay ready for your tax professional.
Contractor bookkeeping gets complicated quickly when job activity moves through multiple bank accounts, credit cards, suppliers, subcontractors, vehicles, equipment, and customer deposits. A consistent close process helps separate operating activity from guesswork.
Keep job-related purchases and subcontractor payments categorized consistently so the books reflect where money is being spent.
Maintain clearer records for equipment purchases, vehicle costs, loans, credit cards, and other balances that often create year-end questions.
Organize deposits, customer payments, and project-related transactions so income and costs are easier to review within the limits of the QuickBooks setup and agreed scope.
Useful contractor reporting starts with reconciled accounts and consistent transaction treatment. Plutus focuses on the underlying bookkeeping records before trying to produce more detailed project information.
Plutus is best suited for small and growing businesses that need dependable QuickBooks bookkeeping without building an internal accounting department.
We review the accounts, transaction flow, credit cards, loans, customer activity, and areas that are creating confusion or inconsistent reporting.
Operating accounts are reconciled, transactions are categorized consistently, and questions are documented rather than resolved through assumptions.
You receive financial statements on the agreed schedule with cleaner underlying records and a more organized year-end handoff.
If prior months are unreconciled, transactions are duplicated or uncategorized, or materials and subcontractor costs have become inconsistent, a focused cleanup can establish a reliable starting point.
