Keeping your books in order shouldn't be on your to-do list.
Bookkeeping and Accounting, specifically for General Contractors. I speak your language. You focus on the jobs. I'll handle the books.
Every contractor runs differently. Some want the whole thing off their plate, some just want the books kept straight. Fill out the form and I'll get back to you the same day.
What I hear from contractors consistently
Working closely with contractors has given me a very clear idea of the pain points. The same ones keep coming up.
My bookkeeper comes in every couple of weeks, but I've never actually seen a balance sheet.
I know what came in and what went out. I don't know what I actually made.
I'm booked solid all season and somehow there's nothing left at the end of it.
Receipts pile up until year end and then it's a scramble.
I've got a bookkeeper, but she's just catching up entries. Nobody's telling me anything about my business.
If any of that sounds familiar, that's what I fix.
What I provide
Bookkeeping
- Every receipt and transaction tracked to the job it belongs to
- Payroll
- Invoice management, including sending invoices out for you if you need it
- Paying bills, if you want that off your plate
- GST and holdbacks tracked separately, so your bank balance stops lying to you
- Monthly financials, plus a review of how the business is actually performing
Business insights
- Cash flow forecasting, so you can see what's coming before it hits
- Job profitability tracking, so you know which work is actually worth quoting
- Advice on the big calls: new equipment, hiring, expansion
Taxes
Handled by a tax accountant I work with, coordinated by me. You deal with one person.
Why Lattice
Lattice is a founder-led finance team built by a CPA with 12+ years in finance.
We're not a big firm. We take on a focused roster of contractors so we can actually know your business, which is the whole point. If you want someone who shows up every two weeks to catch up entries and disappears, we're not it.
You'll have direct access to your lead. Ask us anything, anytime. That's part of the fee, not an extra.
Your books stay in your own system (QuickBooks, Xero, whatever you use), under your login. If we ever part ways, you keep everything.
Let's build the right package
We'll put together a package around what you actually need, and we'll get back to you the same day.
