Project billing needs a supporting schedule
Deposits, progress invoices, approved changes, customer payments, retainage where applicable, and open receivables need to remain traceable to project records.
Electrical contractor bookkeeping
Bookkeeping for electrical contractors with service calls and project billing.
Daxable organizes electrical contractor books around service calls, project billing, permits and inspection records, materials, subcontractors, labor, change activity, collections, and job-cost reporting.
Industry bookkeeping starts at $299 per month. Cleanup and workflow changes are scoped during discovery.
What the work includes
Clear scope, useful financial work.
Permits and inspections carry source detail
Fees, reinspection costs, reimbursements, and project records should be retained and coded consistently. Daxable does not provide permitting or code-compliance advice.
Material and subcontractor costs need job context
Direct materials, returns, equipment, rentals, subcontractor bills, and vendor credits should reach the appropriate job or service line when source data supports it.
Service calls follow a faster cash cycle
Dispatch records, invoices, card batches, refunds, and bank deposits should reconcile without obscuring longer project activity.
Labor data crosses systems
Time, crew, overtime, payroll, and job records need a defined source of truth and an exception process when the systems disagree.
Job-cost reporting needs current inputs
A report can compare estimates and actuals only when scope changes, labor, materials, subcontractors, and billing records are updated consistently.
A strong fit when
- Service and project work need separate visibility
- Permit, material, subcontractor, and labor records need consistent job coding
- Billing and collection schedules do not reconcile cleanly
- Management wants job-cost reports with stated data limits
Another provider may be a better fit when
- You need electrical licensing, permitting, legal, or tax advice
- Project and service records are not retained
- You want an outcome or target-margin guarantee
- You need an independent audit or attest opinion

Straight answers
Questions before a discovery call.
What should an electrical contractor bookkeeper track?
The scope can include service and project invoices, deposits, payments, permits and inspection costs, materials, equipment, subcontractors, labor and payroll inputs, change activity, and job-cost records.
Can Daxable track permits and inspections?
Daxable can retain and code the financial records supplied for fees, reimbursements, and project costs. The contractor remains responsible for code, license, inspection, and legal requirements.
How do service calls differ from project bookkeeping?
Service calls typically have shorter billing and collection cycles, while projects may involve deposits, progress billing, approved changes, subcontractors, and longer schedules. Reporting should preserve that distinction.
Can Daxable compare estimated and actual job costs?
Yes, when the estimating and actual-cost inputs are available and consistently coded. Daxable documents which costs and changes are included and flags missing source data.
Daxable provides bookkeeping and management-use reporting, not electrical licensing, permitting, code-compliance, legal, tax, audit, or attest advice.
