Construction CPA in Miami

Construction businesses in Miami need a CPA who understands job costing, contractor tax planning, subcontractor compliance, and Florida tax rules. A specialized construction CPA helps Miami contractors stay profitable.

Construction Tax Planning

Florida has no state income tax, but contractors still face federal tax, self-employment tax, and sales tax on materials. A construction CPA plans around these obligations.

Job Costing

Job costing tracks every project's revenue and expenses so contractors know real profitability — not just business-wide profit.

Contractor Bookkeeping

  • Project-based ledgers
  • Material and labor tracking
  • Equipment depreciation
  • Subcontractor payments
  • Retainage tracking
  • WIP reporting

Payroll and Subcontractors

Proper worker classification is critical. Misclassifying employees as 1099 contractors can trigger IRS audits and penalties.
