Our Process
Initial Phone call
We start with a 30 minute meeting to discuss your situation and needs. We want to make sure that we're going to be a good fit for each other. If things look good, we can move forward to working together.
Onboarding
During the onboarding process, we will help set up cost codes in Buildertrend or Jobtread, ensure that things are importing and exporting correctly to your bookkeeping, and get your systems organized for success.
Monthly entry
During the month, we will handle routine data entry for bills, invoices, expenses, and payments. We will also help with AR and AP service.
End of Month
At the end of each month, we will handle all reconciliation work, prepare a job Work in Progress (WIP) report, and adjust the over/under billings for the month. We will then present a P&L statement from your bookkeeping software.
Reviews
Aaron walked us through the initial setup, and even though there was quite a bit of upfront work, it was clear it’s because they’re thorough and genuinely want things done the right way. Now that I’m working with his team as well, the experience has stayed consistent—quick, honest, and incredibly supportive.
Their help with cost code setup, reconciling our books, and integrating JobTread with QuickBooks has been invaluable. It’s obvious they care about small businesses like ours, and that personal touch makes all the difference. Highly recommend them to any construction company looking for a bookkeeping team that truly has your back."
About 6 months after joining JobTread, we partnered with ContractorTeam. The first phase focused on cleaning up years of legacy books and processes. Aaron’s dual background—as both a builder and a bookkeeping professional—positions him as a rare and effective liaison between construction & financial clarity.
Recently, for reasons completely unrelated to ContractorTeam, we briefly stepped away from their services. Within 60 days, we returned—eagerly. That should speak volumes."
We made the mistake of leaving Contractors Team recently. We made the switch as a result of needing a new CPA and found ourselves with someone claiming they would do things that they apparently do not. So we promptly switched back to Aaron and his team. And couldn't happier to be partnered with them again."
