Project-Based Accounting

Construction projects often span multiple months or years. Project-based accounting tracks revenue, costs, and profitability for each job rather than just the business as a whole.

Job Costing

Job costing assigns every labor hour, material purchase, and equipment expense to the correct project. This shows contractors which jobs make money and which lose it.

Contractor Tax Planning

DC has specific business tax rules including the unincorporated business franchise tax. A construction CPA helps minimize tax exposure while staying compliant.

Payroll and Subcontractor Compliance

Government and union projects often require certified payroll. Subcontractors must be properly classified and 1099s filed on time.

Cash Flow Planning

Construction cash flow can be unpredictable due to retainage, slow customer payments, and large material purchases. A CPA helps forecast and manage cash needs.
