We talk. You decide.

If you're like most contractors right now:

  • Booked solid through the season
  • No idea which jobs are actually profitable
  • Books behind, taxes looming, no time to fix it

That's a bookkeeping problem. Not a hustle problem.

What's included

Monthly bookkeeping, done right.

1

Real job profitability

Tracked the way you actually run — month-over-month trends, or job-by-job margin when you need it.

2

Materials & vendor tracking

COGS broken out properly. Price spikes don't quietly eat your margin.

3

1099 subs done right

Sub payments categorized and tracked through the year — no January scramble, no IRS letters.

4

Retention & AR tracking

You see what's outstanding and how old it is. Every month.

5

Clean monthly statements

P&L and Balance Sheet by the 15th. Every month. Accurate and easy to read.

6

Tax-ready, all year

Your CPA gets clean books in January. No catch-up fees. No 1am tax-week panic.

We focus on trade and general contractors. That's where we go deep.

Contractors are our focus — it's where we've built real depth. When you describe your problem, we already know what you mean.

What clients say

Don't take our word for it.

Melissa and the Summit CFOs team do bookkeeping for multiple businesses of mine. Having clarity on my P&L and Balance Sheet each month are the scoreboard I need to keep my business winning — so I can spend my profits on things like hiking with the kids in world-class areas.

Frequently asked

Quick answers before you book.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Depends on your volume and how clean your books are. We quote a flat monthly rate on the call. No hourly billing creep.

I'm behind. Can you catch me up first?

Yes. Catch-up is a one-time engagement before monthly bookkeeping starts. We'll scope it on the call.

Do you work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QBO is what we work in. If you're on something else, we'll talk through it on the call.

Who's actually working on my books?

Led by Melissa Horsley. A small team handles your books. You get real answers, not boilerplate.

What size companies do you work best with?

Most of our clients do $250K to $15M. Outside that range? Book anyway — we'll figure it out or point you somewhere better.
