BuilderBalance manages outsourced construction accounting and bookkeeping for U.S.-based construction entrepreneurs.
We organize your financial systems, manage daily accounting, and bring job costs, billing, and financial reporting into a process you can rely on. We explain the figures so you can see your business’s financial position and understand what each project is earning.
Understand your project profitability and make business decisions with reliable financial information.
Managing new homes, additions, and residential renovation projects.
This includes contractors building apartment buildings for developers. We organize the accounting around your construction contract, job costs, approved changes and billing.
Managing commercial construction, from new buildings to additions and alterations.
Commercial and institutional project examples include offices, schools and healthcare facilities. The accounting support is for the contractor delivering the commercial construction work.
Providing design and construction through one contract with the project owner.
Managing building renovations and interior build-outs for new or existing occupants.
You have jobs to manage and payment commitments to meet. You need to know whether the figures reflect the work already done.
We follow those gaps through the records, approvals, and reports so you know what needs attention.
Supplier bills, subcontractor invoices, payroll records, and approved changes do not always reach the books together.
A job can look profitable while costs are missing.
Cash can run short while completed work remains unbilled.
We assign documented materials, labor, subcontractor, equipment, and overhead costs to the right jobs and cost codes. Project budgets compared with actual spending help you see where costs are exceeding the estimate.
We follow approved change orders into revised budgets, job reports, and customer billing. Pending requests stay separate, and the original estimate remains available for comparison.
We prepare AIA G702/G703 progress invoicing and draw requests from approved project information, follow up on outstanding payments, and track retainage owed by customers and payable to subcontractors. Lien waiver records move through your approval process.
We maintain work-in-progress (WIP) schedules and review contract values, costs, and estimates to complete. Revenue adjustments follow the accounting policy appropriate to your contracts and reporting basis.
We configure supported integrations and organize the flow of records and approvals. AI-assisted work goes to the responsible construction accountant on your team for review and correction.
We maintain a close-out and reporting calendar, review outstanding items, and use project results and cash forecasts to discuss payment commitments, pricing, and upcoming work.
Different project volumes and business structures call for different support. Start with the profile closest to your business to explore more challenges and the work we can manage.
Build a stronger bookkeeping foundation. Organize daily records, keep customer and supplier balances visible, and understand the profit on each job.
Keep financial processes in step with more active jobs. Bring job costs, approved changes, billing, and monthly reporting into a consistent workflow.
Manage larger projects with consistent financial oversight. Review WIP, project margins, cash commitments, and team responsibilities as the work becomes more complex.
Bring financial reporting and planning together across your business. Coordinate entities, intercompany activity and project portfolios, with financial guidance for leadership decisions.
We assess your existing systems, entity structure, reporting needs, and operational complexity before recommending changes. These are platform options, not a requirement to migrate. Additional implementation or migration is quoted separately; software subscriptions are separate from our service fees.
Our general contractor accounting services bring daily bookkeeping, project reporting, and financial planning together. We confirm the work, responsibilities, and reporting schedule with you before we begin.
Your selected package and proposal define the work, reports and responsibilities included.
Once your financial systems are established, we manage your daily accounting and bookkeeping operations. We maintain an audit trail that links transactions and reports to supporting records, approvals, and explanations of accounting adjustments. We also manage the tax preparation work included in your engagement.
We track each project separately using consistent job and cost codes, adapting the NAHB Chart of Accounts where appropriate. Reports compare project budgets with actual spending on materials, labor, subcontractors, equipment, and allocated overhead. We review the original estimate, approved budget changes, committed costs, and recorded spending together so you can investigate where margins are slipping.
We apply ASC 606 to your contracts and reporting requirements, using percentage-of-completion calculations where appropriate for revenue recognized over time. WIP schedules bring together contract values, costs, estimates to complete, earned revenue, and billings. We prepare the required accounting adjustments and review WIPRA/WIPAA analysis under the agreed reporting definitions, reconciling it with your financial records.
Explore Revenue Recognition and WIP Services →AI-assisted tools and software automation accelerate document capture, coding, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll workflows. Construction workflows include draw requests, AIA G702/G703 progress invoicing where required, retainage tracking, and lien waiver administration. The responsible construction accountant on your allocated team reviews the work and resolves exceptions. Payments and releases follow your approval controls.
Where payroll processing is included, we manage the agreed pay runs through your payroll provider, with client approvals before submission.
Our construction CFO advisory team reviews your financial analysis, contributes its experience, and agrees on recommendations before discussing them with you. We advise on project profitability, pricing, and KPIs, supported by rolling 13-week cash forecasts, cash burn-rate analysis, and cash runway estimates where relevant. Planning can include owner, lender, and board reporting, along with multi-entity, intercompany, and joint venture accounting.
Explore Construction Accounting and Bookkeeping Services →For a practical explanation of purchase orders and remaining commitments, see how they relate to recorded job costs. Our construction accounting guide explains how billings, WIP and earned revenue differ.

We assess your systems, reporting needs, internal processes, and expected growth. If the existing platform can support them, we may improve its setup, job codes, and workflows. If migration is needed, we explain the plan, budget, timing, and staff training before work starts.
