What makes roofing companies bookkeeping different

Home service books live or die on job costing. Materials, crew hours, subs, and truck costs all have to land on the right job — otherwise the only report you get at month end is "we were busy," with no idea which work was actually worth doing.

🏗️

Costs have to land on the right job

Material runs, crew hours, equipment, and subcontractor invoices charged to the specific job they belong to. Without that discipline, profitable and unprofitable work average together and the losing jobs stay invisible.

📋

Deposits, progress payments, and change orders

Money collected before the work is finished isn't revenue yet, and change orders land mid-job with their own costs attached. Both need to be tracked against the job so the final margin is real.

🧑‍🔧

Subcontractor and vendor records add up all year

Subs paid across a year need clean, complete vendor records — who was paid, how much, with their details on file. Kept current monthly, year-end reporting is a print job; left to January, it's a scramble your CPA bills you for.

🛻

Trucks, fuel, and equipment per crew

Fuel, maintenance, and equipment costs allocated per vehicle or crew instead of dumped in one lump. That's what turns "vehicle expense" into an answer about whether the second truck pays for itself.

What’s included

One flat monthly rate for your roofing company. Everything below, every month.

📅

Monthly close, every month

Categorized transactions, reconciled bank and card accounts, and books that are actually current — not six weeks behind.

📊

A P&L you can read

Plain-English monthly statements. Revenue, costs, margin — and what changed since last month, flagged for you.

🎯

Ad spend inside the books

Marketing cost broken out per channel and set against revenue. “Did the ads make money” becomes a line you can point to.

🧹

Catch-up & clean-up

Behind on your books? We reconstruct and clean up past months first, then keep the rhythm going.

📁

Tax-season handoff

Your CPA gets a clean, organized file at year end — fewer billable hours spent untangling, fewer surprises.

Frequently asked questions

How much does bookkeeping cost for a roofing company?

Bookkeeping starts at $500 per month. The exact flat rate is scoped to your transaction volume and account count, and it's quoted after a free review of your current books — so you know the number before you commit. No long-term lock-in.

What makes bookkeeping for roofing companies different?

Home service books live or die on job costing. Materials, crew hours, subs, and truck costs all have to land on the right job — otherwise the only report you get at month end is "we were busy," with no idea which work was actually worth doing. Two examples that come up on almost every roofing company’s books: “Costs have to land on the right job” and “Deposits, progress payments, and change orders”.

Do you file my taxes?

No — your CPA handles filing, and we don't give tax advice. What we do is keep the books that make filing easy: categorized, reconciled, and closed every month, so your accountant gets a clean, organized year-end file instead of a shoebox. If your books are behind, we run a catch-up and clean-up pass first.

Do I have to be a marketing client to use your bookkeeping?

No. Bookkeeping stands on its own for any roofing company. But when we run both, your P&L and your campaigns share one data picture — which is where the “did the advertising actually make money” answer comes from.
