The Specific Challenges We Solve
Job Costing Across Multiple Projects
Knowing which projects are profitable — and which are bleeding money — requires job-level tracking that most bookkeepers don't set up correctly. We build the chart of accounts and tracking structure so you can see P&L per project, not just overall.
Subcontractor 1099-NEC Filing
Missing or incorrect 1099-NEC filings for subcontractors trigger IRS penalties. We track every sub payment throughout the year — cash, check, and ACH — and handle year-end 1099 filing automatically so nothing is missed.
Retainage Accounting
Retainage held by owners against your contract — and held by you against your subs — needs to be tracked separately from regular AR and AP. We account for it correctly so your financial statements reflect what you're actually owed.
A Bookkeeper Who's Also a Federally authorized Enrolled Agent
Most bookkeepers categorize transactions and hand you a report. Simple Books Now does that — and our Licensed EA can also represent you before the IRS, file your business and personal tax returns, and advise on tax strategy year-round. One firm. No referrals. No gaps.
