Industry context
Construction books become difficult where jobs, people, equipment, and timing overlap.
A dependable close organizes the recurring financial activity while clearly separating standard bookkeeping from advanced job costing, retainage, WIP, and multi-entity requirements.
Equipment and credit
Purchases, loans, cards, rentals, and repairs create recurring P&L and balance-sheet activity.
Timing and advanced accounting
Draws, retainage, WIP, and complex job costing require more than generic monthly categorization.

Monthly rhythm
A close process built around the real activity.
The work stays practical: access, reconciliation, exception review, reports, and clear answers when the file needs judgment.
Map jobs and accounts
Confirm financial accounts, cards, loans, subcontractor activity, and the level of job detail required.
Close recurring activity
Categorize, reconcile, review exceptions, and prepare the reports included in the plan.
Review advanced accounting
Confirm whether job costing, retainage, WIP, multiple entities, or specialized reporting need separate scope.
Scope guardrail
Advanced construction accounting is not automatically included.
Complex job costing, retainage, work in progress, multiple entities, and specialized reporting require scope review before enrollment. Basic plan pricing should not be assumed to cover them.
QuickBooks ownership
Your books stay in your QuickBooks file.
LedgerCrew works inside the QuickBooks Online file you control, so you keep ownership, admin access, and a clean handoff if your needs change.
Subscription note: QuickBooks Online is billed separately. If you need a subscription, LedgerCrew can provide it and include it on your bill.

How are retainage and WIP handled?
Retainage and work-in-progress accounting require separate review before LedgerCrew confirms scope.

Multi-entity structures require scope review and should not be assumed to fit basic plan pricing.

Tax filing is not included in base bookkeeping. Contractor record or 1099 work may be separately scoped.
