Construction Accounting Services
Building projects require precise coordination of materials, labor, and timelines. With so much at stake, having clear financial management is crucial. Construction firms face challenges that go beyond typical business expenses, from handling complex job costing to overseeing a network of subcontractors, all while staying compliant with strict regulations. Nichols Accounting understands these issues and offers specialized support for the construction industry. Whether you manage a handful of employees or oversee multiple worksites, our goal is to help you make informed decisions based on accurate, up-to-date financial data.
Unique Challenges in Construction Accounting
The construction sector often deals with erratic revenue patterns, large upfront expenses, and payment delays that can arise from weather, permit complications, or shifts in client needs. These factors can throw off even the most carefully planned budget.

Nichols Accounting takes a hands-on approach to help you adapt to these uncertainties by reviewing your financial information regularly, identifying trends early, and providing guidance on where you might tighten costs or adjust allocations.
We also know that construction accounting involves more detailed tracking than many other industries. Along with labor and material expenses, you may need to monitor costs for equipment rentals, change orders, and contingency funds. Our team sets up detailed classification and project structure that let you see exactly how each project is performing and where your profit margins stand. This level of clarity reduces guesswork and provides the insight you need to bid confidently on upcoming jobs.
Managing Subcontractors and Job Costing
Few industries rely on subcontractors to the extent that construction does. While working with specialists and trade partners can be essential for project success, it often complicates billing and cost control. Nichols Accounting streamlines this process by tracking all expenses linked to subcontractors, including invoices and payment schedules.

Progress Billing and Regulatory Compliance
Construction projects often use progress billing, where partial invoices are issued based on completed milestones. This billing structure can improve cash flow, but it also introduces administrative complexity, especially if multiple trades and suppliers are involved. Nichols Accounting keeps these invoices and receivables organized, making it easier for you to confirm that completed work aligns with billed amounts and to keep track of any retention for final inspections.
