Construction Accounting

Let’s build your business together

If you run a construction company, you face some of the most complex accounting challenges of any industry. You probably already know that. And you may be asking yourself, “Why is construction accounting so complicated?”

Reasons abound. But the biggest challenges include:

  • Every project is unique. Managing many different construction projects makes it crucial to track actual costs versus estimates in real time.
  • Project based accounting with individual profit and loss reports.
  • Project timelines often result in costs that don’t always fall conveniently into accounting periods. Late or missing invoices can lead to inaccurate profits and financial reports.
  • Payments come in waves, making cash flow a constant balancing act.

Multiple job sites, long-term contracts and relying on generic software (non-construction) adds to the mix. Duplications and errors become unwelcome, commonplace problems. Mistakes like these can derail profitability and bid accuracy.

We get it. At Penney Counter, we welcome the complexity. Because we’ve seen what happens when it’s done wrong.
