Construction Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping should do more than categorize transactions.

Your Numbers Should Match Your Work. Keeping Jobs Organized, Invoices Moving, Paperwork Under Control, and the Financial Side of your Business Manageable as your Company Grows.

We work with General Contractors, Remodelers, Trades, and Subcontractors to Build Practical Systems that support day-to-day Operations - without overcomplicating things.

Bookkeeping. Built By Builders. For Builders.

What We Handle:

Transaction Structure

Chart of Accounts for Construction Companies Built by LyonBuilt

We have developed a Chart of Accounts & Cost Codes built specifically for Construction. This helps us clean up records faster and deliver maximum impact on job costing efforts.

Invoicing & Collections (Accounts Receivable)

Invoices sent on time. Managing money coming in. Payment tracking - so you know who owes you - and how long they've owed it.

Expenses & Vendor Payments (Accounts Payable)

Tracking and paying supplier invoices and bills on time. No guessing on material costs. No wondering where money is going.

Reconciliations - Bank & Credit Card

Matching bank statements against internal records to ensure accuracy. Your accounts match reality. No surprises. No mystery transactions.

Simple, clear reports you'll actually use. Profit & loss by job. Cash flow projection. Actionable results, not spreadsheet confusion.

Reports (that you can actually use)

Construction Accounting is Different

Most bookkeeping firms don't get that.

They've never managed multiple jobs at once. They don't understand labor fluctuations, material price swings, or the mess that comes with progress billing and change orders. They treat your business like a retail shop—fine for them, useless for you.

Construction companies need bookkeeping that:

Understands job-level economics. Every job is its own profit center. You need to know—to the dollar—whether it made money or lost it.

Works with how you actually operate. You're not asking your team to change how they work. We're building a system that captures the information you're already gathering.

Handles the real chaos. Labor is inconsistent. Material costs change. Customers delay payment. Subcontractors invoice late. A good bookkeeping system doesn't pretend that doesn't happen—it accounts for it.
