QuickBooks cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, and business advisory for Ohio Valley remodeling contractors.
Local Context · 01
Your books should keep up.
Change orders. Phased projects. Material costs that shift mid-job. Subcontractor payments tied to milestones.
Most bookkeepers treat every job like a simple invoice.
Without job costing by project and phase, you have no idea if your biggest jobs are making you money or just keeping you busy.

Change orders, phased projects, subcontractor payments, materials by job — remodeling has some of the most complex bookkeeping in the trades. Kristal has been setting it up right for Ohio Valley remodelers since 2011. Both tracks start with getting your QuickBooks right.
Monthly bookkeeping, CFO advisory, and ongoing support — so you never have to think about it again.
We clean up your books, train your admin, and leave behind a guide — so your team can handle it going forward.
What that actually looks like for remodelers. Cleanup. Monthly close. The leave-behind playbook. Three things we do every day for remodeling and renovation contractors across Ohio and West Virginia.

Remodeling books are project-heavy — change orders, subcontractors, draws, materials by job. A generic setup produces numbers that look right but can't tell you which projects made money. We go into your file and fix the foundation.

We keep your books clean every month and talk to you about what the numbers mean for your remodeling operation. Project margins, draw schedules, overhead — you'll know where you stand on every job.

Most remodeling operations have an office person or a project coordinator handling the books who has never been trained on how a remodeling business should be coded. We fix that — built around your projects, your subcontractors, and how your operation actually runs.
The Transformation · 04
You know your margin on every project before you close the next contract. Change orders show up where they should. Your books hold up when a bonding company or lender asks for your financials. No more finding out a job cost you money after the crew has moved on.
Job costing by project and phase means every remodeling engagement tells you the real numbers. Stop finding out after the fact which jobs made money and which ones didn't.
Every change order tracked and coded correctly. Your project costs reflect what the job actually cost — not an approximation that drifts further from reality with every phase.
Clean, auditable financials built around how remodeling work actually runs. When a bonding company or lender asks for your P&L, you hand it over without hesitation.

Running a remodeling business means managing multiple projects with varying scopes, subcontractor schedules, and material requirements. Your bookkeeping needs to be as detailed as your floor plans.
At 740 Accounting & Bookkeeping, we specialize in the specific financial needs of remodelers in Barnesville, St. Clairsville, and throughout the Ohio Valley.
Most generic QuickBooks setups don't account for the way remodelers actually work. We optimize your system to track project costs, subcontractor draws, and change orders correctly.
Our goal is to give you a clear picture of your business's financial health, so you can focus on the work in the field.
When you go to a bank or a bonding agent for a line of credit or a larger contract bid, they want professional, CPA-ready reports — not a messy P&L with every job lumped together.
We provide the high-level oversight that lenders and bonding companies look for. Clean, reconciled books every month mean you're ready when a financing opportunity or a bigger bid comes along.
Our monthly advisory calls help you plan ahead for subcontractor costs and project draws, so cash flow doesn't become a surprise mid-project.
Change orders are where most remodeling books fall apart. Without a system for tracking them by project and phase, your numbers drift further from reality with every adjustment — and you lose sight of what a job actually cost.
We set up your books so every change order is coded correctly and tied to the right project, so your margin reflects what actually happened on the job, not an outdated estimate.
