Bookkeeping for Construction

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we provide practical bookkeeping support for builders, contractors, construction companies and trades businesses across Melbourne. We help keep your accounts organised, your transactions reconciled and your financial records up to date, so you can spend more time running your jobs and less time chasing paperwork.

Bookkeeping Built Around Construction Businesses

Construction bookkeeping can be more involved than standard small-business bookkeeping. You may have multiple projects running at once, subcontractors to manage, materials and equipment to pay for, progress payments coming in and expenses that need to be allocated correctly.

We can help take care of the day-to-day bookkeeping behind your business, including:

• Bank reconciliations

• Accounts payable and supplier bills

• Accounts receivable and customer invoicing

• BAS preparation and lodgment support

• Payroll and employee records

• Subcontractor payments

• Expense tracking

• GST coding and reconciliation

• Xero bookkeeping

• Financial record keeping

• Job and project-related bookkeeping

• End-of-month bookkeeping

• Reporting and management accounts

Keep Your Construction Accounts Under Control

When you're managing a construction business, small bookkeeping issues can quickly become bigger problems. Unpaid invoices can affect cash flow, missed expenses can affect your profitability and unreconciled transactions can make it difficult to know where your business actually stands.

We keep your books up to date and make sure your financial information is properly organised. This gives you a clearer picture of what is coming in, what is going out and how your business is performing.

Stay on Top of Cash Flow

Cash flow is particularly important in construction. You might have substantial expenses for materials, subcontractors and labour before receiving payment from a client.

Keeping your invoices, bills and transactions up to date helps you understand your cash position and identify outstanding payments before they become a problem.

Manage Subcontractor Payments

Construction businesses often work with a range of subcontractors. Keeping records of payments and expenses organised can become time-consuming when you're also trying to manage projects.

We can help keep your bookkeeping records up to date and make sure transactions are correctly recorded in your accounting system.

Get Your BAS Ready

GST and BAS obligations can be difficult to stay on top of when you're busy running jobs.

We can maintain your bookkeeping throughout the quarter and help ensure your records are organised and ready for BAS preparation and lodgment.

Xero Bookkeeping for Construction

If your construction business uses Xero, we can help keep your Xero file running smoothly.

From reconciling your bank accounts to managing invoices, bills and day-to-day transactions, we can take care of the bookkeeping that keeps your accounting records current.

Spend Less Time on Bookkeeping

You started your construction business to build something—not to spend your evenings entering transactions and chasing invoices.

Our approach is straightforward. We work with you to understand how your business operates, what bookkeeping needs to be done and how often you need support.

Whether you need ongoing bookkeeping or help getting your accounts back under control, we can provide a bookkeeping solution that fits your business.
