Construction accounting works best when the person handling the books understands what happens in the field. At Black Hills Accounting, you’re not working with someone who only knows construction from reports and spreadsheets.

I was a general contractor for 7 years, with hands-on experience doing everything from running heavy equipment to finish work like crown molding.

That background matters because construction businesses do not run like generic service companies. Jobs move fast, paperwork gets scattered, costs hit from multiple directions, and small errors in tracking can quietly eat into profit. We provide construction-focused bookkeeping and back-office support that brings order, clarity, and peace of mind so you can stay focused on the work in front of you.

Built for Contractors

Because I’ve worked in the trades myself, I understand the flow between the field and the office. I know the difference between clean books in theory and practical systems that actually work for contractors, crews, and owner-operators trying to keep jobs moving.

That means your accounting support is built around real construction operations, not generic bookkeeping templates. We help organize the financial side of your business so you can see where your money is going, what each job is costing, and what needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.

Services Included

• Bookkeeping that keeps your records current, organized, and ready for decision-making.
• Project-level accounting so you can track costs and profitability by job.
• Asset tracking and depreciation for trucks, equipment, trailers, and major tools.
• 1099 tracking and filing for subcontractors.
• Expense tracking across vendors, cards, materials, and field purchases.
• State tax reporting support to keep filings organized and on time.
• Jobsite document and receipt handling so invoices, delivery tickets, and backup records do not get lost in the shuffle.

Bookkeeping and Job Costing

Generic bookkeeping often misses what matters most in construction: job profitability. We structure your books so income and costs can be tied back to projects, helping you see which jobs are performing well and which ones need attention before overruns get worse.

With accurate project-level accounting, you can better monitor labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, and overhead. Instead of guessing where your margins went, you have cleaner records and more useful reports to support bidding, planning, and day-to-day decisions.

Equipment, Subs, and Paperwork

Construction companies rely on good tracking for more than income and bills. We help maintain organized records for fixed assets, depreciation, subcontractor payments, and 1099 reporting so that important details are not left until year-end.

We also help with the messy side of construction administration: receipts, invoices, delivery documents, and jobsite paperwork. By building a practical process for collecting and organizing these records, we help turn field chaos into usable financial documentation.

Why Black Hills Accounting

Black Hills Accounting combines accounting experience with real-world construction experience. That means you get back-office support from someone who understands both the financial side of the business and the reality of how construction work gets done, from the cab of heavy equipment to the finish details inside the home.
