Our team has over 100 years of experience in public and private industry accounting helping business owners with their tax, business development and consulting needs. Construction contractors have many needs that are unique from the typical business. Financial controls and job costing are crucial to survival, and absolutely essential to thrive in the construction industry. The tax implications, methods and strategies are complex, and a firm that has a true understanding of the industry is critical to ensure you pay the lowest, legal tax. There are even different tax rules and structures for small and large contractors. Do you need bonds? Need a loan? The rules are a bit different for contractor accounting and what has to be reported to bonding companies and banks. There are certain tricks and traps here too, and proper planning and guidance are critical to maximizing your financial picture, something most CPA firms don't help with. Construction contractors also have major challenges with cash flow. The old saying, "cash is king" is an understatement in the construction industry. Having control of your cash means not only staying on top of where your cash is, but you must project and plan for the future. We can help you implement procedures to maximize your cash, prepare loan packages, cash flow projections and even help design procedures for you to assist in your cash control. We bring together the total package in planning and business development services for contractors. Our unique, three-pronged planning approach helps you maximize your financial picture, while minimizing your taxes and anticipate the cash needs at the same time. Contact us to learn more!
