Contractor bookkeeping questions

What is job costing?

Job costing tracks income, materials, labor and subcontractor costs for each job, so you can see which jobs make money and bid future work with confidence.

Do you handle 1099s for subcontractors?

Yes. W-9s are collected during the year and 1099-NEC forms are prepared and filed in January.

Can you help with Colorado sales and use tax?

Yes. Colorado sales tax can be complex because many home-rule cities collect their own tax separately from the state. Lindsey tracks what applies to your business and keeps filings current.
