Bookkeeping
for flooring contractors.
Job-costed books for flooring contractors, from someone who installed floors for nine years and knows what the subfloor does to a bid.
The subfloor decides
the margin.
WHAT DEMO UNCOVERS
You bid on what you could see. Rot, an uneven slab or three layers of old vinyl turn a one-day install into three, and unless that extra work is captured against the job, the loss just disappears into the month.
WASTE AND OVERAGE
Pattern, direction and cut all decide how much material you actually buy versus install. If the overage is not posted to the job it came from, every room looks like it used exactly what was ordered.
BUILDER WORK VERSUS RETAIL
Builder accounts and homeowner jobs pay on completely different terms and timelines. Averaged together they hide which side of the business is funding the other.
INSTALLERS PAID BY THE FOOT
Piece-rate crews need the hours and the footage tied to the same job, or labour cost per square foot is a guess rather than a number you can bid from.
Four things,
done right.
Monthly bookkeeping built around how flooring contractors actually bill, with job costing baked in rather than bolted on.
Job Costing
Every cost lands on the job that earned it, so you can see which ones made money.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed monthly, reconciled, and ready whenever you need them.
Clean Reports
Statements you can actually read, not a pile of exports to decipher.
Tax-Ready Books
Your CPA gets clean figures instead of rebuilding the year from scratch.
Know which floors
paid for themselves.
PRICE THE SURPRISES IN
Real history on subfloor work tells you what to add for age and condition, so next season you are bidding from evidence rather than optimism.
SEE THE WASTE
Material brought in but never installed shows up as a number instead of quietly eating the margin on every job.
NO TAX-SEASON SURPRISES
Clean books all year mean the return is a formality, not a fire drill in March.
Straight answers.
No runaround.
