Job costs need a consistent coding path
Labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and other direct costs must reach the correct job and phase without losing the accounting treatment needed for the general ledger.
Construction finance support
Bookkeeping, accounting capacity, and finance leadership for construction companies.
Daxable supports general contractors, builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors with books organized around jobs, phases, labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, billing, retainage, and cash across active work.
Bookkeeping starts at $299 per month, a dedicated Daxable team member at $1,500, and controller or fractional CFO support at $2,500.
What the work includes
Clear scope, useful financial work.
Billing and production rarely move together
Progress billings, deposits, retainage, change orders, and collection timing need schedules that can be reconciled with the books and project records.
WIP is a review process
Work-in-progress reporting requires current contract values, approved changes, costs to date, and a documented estimate-to-complete process. The report is only as reliable as those inputs.
Bookkeeping
Monthly close, bank and card reconciliations, job coding, vendor records, financial statements, and CPA-ready year-end support start at $299 per month.
Dedicated team
A Daxable-employed team member can maintain bills, records, billing schedules, payroll inputs, subcontractor files, and recurring back-office tasks from $1,500 per month.
Controller and CFO
Controller review can oversee the close, controls, WIP, and reporting. CFO work can model backlog, project cash, staffing, equipment, and scenarios from $2,500 per month.
A strong fit when
- Several jobs or phases need consistent coding
- Billing, retainage, and costs must reconcile across systems
- Management needs estimate-versus-actual or cash reporting
- The contractor can supply current project and change-order data
Another provider may be a better fit when
- You need engineering, licensing, legal, or tax advice
- Project records are unavailable and management will not establish them
- You want a universal target margin or outcome guarantee
- The work requires an independent audit or attest opinion

Straight answers
Questions before a discovery call.
What should construction bookkeeping track?
At minimum, the books should preserve job and phase detail for labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, billing, retainage, change orders, and cash. The exact structure depends on the contractor's project and accounting systems.
When does a contractor need a controller?
Controller support becomes useful when recurring close review, WIP, billing, accounting consistency, controls, and management reporting exceed what a monthly bookkeeper can own.
Does Daxable prepare contractor tax returns?
No. Daxable organizes books and supporting schedules and can coordinate with the contractor's tax professional. Tax methods, returns, and tax advice remain with that professional.
Can Daxable work with our construction software?
During discovery, Daxable maps the current accounting, estimating, project, payroll, and payment systems. Integration claims are made only after the specific workflow and available data have been reviewed.
Daxable provides bookkeeping and management-use finance support. It does not provide legal, tax, engineering, audit, or attest services, and it does not promise a particular margin or financial outcome.
