The real estate problem

A closing hits and the account looks flush. But how much is already spoken for — taxes, splits, and the next job's materials?

Sound familiar?

The bookkeeping headaches real estate & construction know too well.

01

Commissions & draws land in lumps

Big deposits arrive all at once and make a great month look even better than it is. We smooth out the picture so you can see the real trend underneath.

02

Job costing gets messy fast

Materials, subs, and labor for each project blur together, so you can't tell which jobs actually made money. We track costs job by job.

03

Subcontractor 1099s pile up

A roster of subs, different rates, and a scramble every January. We track it all year and have 1099s ready before the deadline.
