Bookkeeping for General Contractors in Colorado

A lot of bookkeepers can categorize a transaction. Fewer understand what it means when you're running jobs. I know the difference between a deposit and revenue you've actually earned, why a materials charge on one job shouldn't land on another, and how retainage and progress billing throw off a file that isn't built for them. That nine years on the subcontractor side means I'm not learning your business on your dime, I already know it.

Your monthly bookkeeping covers the full picture. I categorize your income and expenses, reconcile your bank and credit card accounts, and manage your payables and receivables so you always know who owes you and who you owe. After each month closes, you'll get a Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, and at year end your books are prepped for tax filing with 1099s included — which matters when you're paying subs.



Bank and credit card reconciliation. A/P and A/R management. Monthly Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet. Year-end tax prep and 1099s. Ongoing support and a real read on where your business actually stands.

Colorado sales tax is a specialty of mine, not a side task — and for you it gets complicated fast between state, county, and local requirements. I handle your account setup, file accurately and on time, and keep the detailed records that keep you in good standing with the state. You stay focused on running jobs; I make sure sales tax never turns into a surprise.

Your books have a way of piling up during a busy season, and before you know it you're months behind. It happens more than you'd think, and it's fixable. I'll review, reconcile, and correct up to a year of history, and I'm good at spotting the weird stuff: duplicate charges, missing payments, messy deposits, and sales tax issues. You come out the other side current, accurate, and ready for tax season.

I don't just categorize your transactions and call it a day. I look at the full picture to make sure your books actually make sense. You get fifteen-plus years of hands-on experience, Gold-level Intuit ProAdvisor certification in QuickBooks Online, and nearly a decade of it spent inside a contractor's books.

I'm straightforward, detail-oriented, and honest to a fault. You'll get clean books, clear communication, and no confusing accounting talk, because bookkeeping should be useful, not a mystery novel with bank feeds.

I work with contractors throughout Colorado's Western Slope, including Montrose, Olathe, Delta, Grand Junction, Gunnison, Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride, Mountain Village, Durango, Cortez, and Crested Butte. Local to the Montrose area, I support both QuickBooks Online and Desktop. Anywhere else in Colorado, remote bookkeeping through QuickBooks Online keeps your books current no matter which side of the pass you're on.

If your books need a steady hand, let's talk. Clean books, clear communication, and a bookkeeper who already knows your trade.
