Industry-Specific Headaches

Where most contractors get stuck.

Sub-contractor 1099 chaos

You hire 15 sub-contractors a year, never collect W-9s, and January is a panic. We collect them at the time of payment — before they ghost.

Sales tax on materials

You buy materials at Home Depot and pay sales tax. You also charge sales tax on the install labor. Or do you? In Texas, it depends. We get it right.

Job costing that’s actually accurate

Which jobs make money? Most contractors guess. We track materials, labor, and overhead per job — so you actually know.

Equipment depreciation strategy

Section 179 vs bonus depreciation vs straight-line. The right answer depends on your tax bracket and growth plan. We model it.

Industry-Specific Work

What we handle for you.

  • Sub-contractor 1099 prep

    Up to 25 contractors on Scale tier. We collect W-9s as you onboard each sub, and file 1099-NECs by January 31 every year.

  • Texas sales tax filing

    We file your sales tax returns — monthly, quarterly, or annual based on volume. We also handle resale certificates for materials.

  • Job-cost reporting

    Monthly P&L by job. See which jobs are profitable, which broke even, and which you should never bid again.

  • Equipment & vehicle depreciation

    We track your trucks, tools, and heavy equipment. Section 179, bonus depreciation, MACRS — whichever saves you the most.

  • Retainage & AR aging

    Track retainage withheld on big projects. Age your receivables so collections don’t fall through the cracks.
