We Love Working With Contractors

We love working with contractors. In fact we would say that we specialize in working with contractors. Why?

My husband is a landscape contractor. This makes it easy for me to relate on a personal level to contractors. Doing the day to day bookkeeping of my husband’s business for more than three decades has given me a lot of personal experience in the bookkeeping needs of contractors.

When I started the practice 25 years ago, the very first bookkeeping clients were contractors, and we have always had a number of contractors as clients. We have worked with small, medium and large contractors throughout the years. Working professionally with contractors of all sizes has given us the opportunity to determine best practices in working with contractors.

Xero is a great accounting solution for contractors. You can invoice directly from Xero. Need to know the balance in your checking account? Xero makes it easy for you to know that. Xero also makes it easy for you to keep your books up to date so that you have real time reports to help you make good decisions.

Here is what some of our contractor clients have said about us:

Working with Beyond Balanced Books has enabled us to transition from our existing software…Their in-depth understanding of accounting has enabled us to make the change painlessly. The quick response and ability to teach has made it easy for my office staff.

For 25 years, I did all my own accounting, and every year at tax time it was a disaster. I would spend a week trying to get all my paperwork together. I never really knew if I was making any money, or what my expenses were really running. What a difference it makes having a professional keep my books! I can concentrate on what I know best, and I know where my business stands every month. At tax time, everything is ready for the tax accountant, itemized and listed in it’s proper account. -Andy Cook, Cook Electric, San Jose CA
