Short answer: Contractor bookkeeping is a regular process for reconciling accounts, organizing income and direct costs, documenting subcontractor and payroll activity, and producing reports that are useful before tax preparation or a business decision. The exact setup depends on the company's records, contracts, software, and agreed scope.
IntegraFin helps contractors and trade businesses organize the records behind their jobs, vendor and subcontractor payments, reconciliations, payroll reports, and tax preparation workflow. Service is based from Katy and available remotely across Texas.
Texas general contractors, remodelers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC businesses, roofers, landscapers, painters, concrete companies, and subcontractor-heavy trade businesses that need cleaner books and organized records for operations or tax preparation.

Review bank, card, loan, payroll, and payment activity so reports are based on reconciled source records rather than an end-of-year estimate.
Organize available job, vendor, labor, material, and overhead records in a consistent workflow. Job-cost detail depends on the source records and software available.
Prepare clearer financial reports and open-item lists for business-tax preparation, subcontractor reporting, payroll review, and owner planning conversations.
The first step is to understand how the contractor receives payments, tracks jobs, pays workers and vendors, and stores source records. We then define a written bookkeeping scope and a repeatable monthly workflow.
We review the accounting file, statements, job records, invoices, bills, payroll reports, contractor payments, and prior reports available for the agreed period.
Unreconciled accounts, unclear transfers, duplicate activity, mixed owner transactions, and missing support are identified before they carry into tax work or reporting.
Accounts are reconciled, activity is reviewed against available records, and unresolved items are documented for client follow-up rather than guessed.
The engagement delivers the agreed reports and open questions. Tax returns, payroll filings, sales-tax filings, notice work, or specialized construction reporting require separate scope unless included in writing.
Revenue, materials, labor, subcontractor payments, equipment, and overhead are recorded, but the owner cannot easily trace the available records to a job or project discussion.
Bank statements, receipts, invoices, and payment data exist, but accounts have not been reconciled and the business return cannot be prepared from reliable reports.
A growing trade business needs payment records, payroll reports, and bookkeeping totals organized before year-end forms or tax preparation are reviewed.
The owner needs current financial reports and a documented list of open items before making decisions about upcoming work, equipment, staffing, or estimated taxes.
Bring or upload what is available. Missing records are common, particularly during cleanup; the initial review helps identify the specific documents still needed.

Yes. We can assess the bookkeeping cleanup and reconciliation work needed before business-tax preparation begins. Tax preparation is a separate service unless the written scope combines it.
We can review the available accounting and source records and help establish an organized workflow for the agreed reports. The detail available depends on how jobs, invoices, labor, materials, and other costs are recorded.
We can help organize the tax and payment records involved, but worker classification depends on the facts and applicable law. Material classification questions may require qualified legal or employment advice.
