Ensure accurate tracking of job profitability, equipment depreciation, and inventory accounting.
Provide clear, actionable tax and financial guidance to business owners throughout the year.
Requirements:
Active CPA license with proven experience working directly with home service contractors or trades.
Deep understanding of contractor accounting methods (cash vs. accrual vs. percentage-of-completion), job costing, and labor burden allocation.
Mastery of trade accounting software and integrations.
Exceptional communication skills—ability to explain tax strategy and accounting metrics in simple, straightforward terms.
Stop filling out applications one by one.
