Construction & Contractors

Build with Confidence.

We’ll Secure the Foundation of Your Finances.

In the construction industry, managing a business is a juggling act. Between bidding on new projects, managing crews, ordering materials, and waiting on client draws, your financial landscape changes daily. Without precise financial tracking, it is incredibly easy for a profitable project to turn into a deficit before you even realize it.

Red Gate Accounting provides specialized construction bookkeeping and financial management designed for general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades. We help you track every dollar from ground-breaking to the final walkthrough.

The Unique Challenges of Construction Accounting

Unlike traditional businesses, construction financial management relies heavily on project-based data:

Job Costing Discrepancies

Failing to accurately track labor, materials, and equipment per project makes it impossible to know your true profit margins.

Subcontractor Complexity

Managing 1099 compliance, tracking lien waivers, and ensuring accurate payments can create massive administrative bottlenecks.

Unpredictable Cash Flow

Gaps between project milestones and client payments can strain your ability to cover payroll and buy materials.

Certified Payroll & Compliance

Government contracts and specialized commercial projects require strict, complex payroll reporting that leaves no room for error.

How RedGate Accounting Keeps Your Projects Profitable

We move your business beyond basic spreadsheets, giving you real-time visibility into your project costs and cash flow.

Accurate Job Costing & Expense Monitoring

We track and categorize every expense—from heavy equipment rentals to raw materials. By tying these costs directly to specific jobs, we help you see exactly which projects are making money and which ones are eating into your overhead. This data is invaluable for tightening up your future project bids.

Streamlined Subcontractor Tracking

Don’t let subcontractor paperwork slow your projects down. We manage the financial tracking of your subs, ensuring payments are aligned with project milestones and that all necessary tax documentation is organized and up-to-date.

Comprehensive Payroll & Certified Payroll Reporting

Whether you have a permanent hourly crew or utilize specialized labor for specific phases, we handle your payroll with precision. If your business takes on government or public works projects, we manage the complex certified payroll reporting required to keep you compliant and clear of penalties.

Proactive Cash Flow & Bank Reconciliations

A healthy pipeline means nothing if you can’t cover next week’s expenses. We perform regular bank and credit card reconciliations to give you a real-time view of your available capital. We help you manage cash flow so you can confidently fund mobilization costs for your next big contract.

Better Margins and Less Stress on the Job Site

When your job costing is accurate and your cash flow is controlled, you can stop stressing over the books and start focusing on scaling your business. Red Gate Accounting gives you the financial clarity to bid smarter, protect your margins, and build a more sustainable contracting business.
