Construction
Bookkeeping Services.
Construction bookkeeping is not a separate service at SPM — it's built into both tiers. Minimum 30 minutes per week, every week. Vendor ACH payments initiated for your approval, AR management, bank reconciliations, job costing entries, and transaction matching. Clean books are the foundation everything else is built on.

What We See in This Business
01
Your Bookkeeper Doesn't Understand Construction
Generic bookkeepers categorize construction costs wrong, don't understand job costing, and produce P&Ls that don't reflect how a construction business actually works. Your CPA spends half of tax season cleaning up miscoded transactions and your job cost is worthless.
02
AP Is Piling Up and You're Picking Who to Pay
When AP management breaks down, vendor relationships deteriorate, credit terms tighten, and materials start getting held. The downstream effects of poor AP management show up on your job sites — not just in your books.
03
AR Is Slow and Nobody Is Following Up
Slow AR is the most common cash flow killer in construction. Most bookkeepers record what was billed but don't actively manage collections. The gap between billing and collection grows until it becomes a full cash crisis.
How SPM Fixes It
Construction-Specific Bookkeeping
Every transaction is coded correctly for construction — job costs to jobs, overhead to overhead, retainage tracked separately. Your financials reflect your business accurately every month so your CPA has clean data at tax time.
ACH Vendor Payment Management
We initiate vendor ACH payments on your behalf. You approve each payment — we handle the execution, timing, and records. Vendors get paid on time, your cash position is actively managed, and AP stays current.
Active AR Management
We manage your accounts receivable actively — tracking open invoices, flagging slow payers at 30, 45, and 60 days, and connecting you to our National Lien Services partner when collections need enforcement.

Common Questions
Straight answers.
How much time does SPM spend on bookkeeping each week?
Minimum 30 minutes per week, every week — included in both tiers. This covers vendor payments, AR management, transaction matching, bank reconciliations, and job costing entries. Larger clients or higher transaction volume may require more time.
Does SPM handle payroll?
No. SPM does not handle payroll. We have vetted payroll software partners — including prevailing wage integrations — that connect directly with ControlQore. Those are separate engagements at additional cost.
Who approves vendor payments?
You do. SPM initiates ACH vendor payments and presents them for your approval before execution. You review and approve — we handle the rest. You maintain full control over outgoing payments.
What's included in Core Financial?
ControlQore setup, job costing aligned to your estimates, cost-to-complete tracking, full bookkeeping (minimum 30 min/week), ACH vendor payments (you approve, we initiate), AR management, bank reconciliations, transaction matching, controllership, and 1 monthly CFO meeting. Starts at $1,900/month.
What does Executive Financial add?
Everything in Core plus monthly WIP schedule, 13-week cash flow forecasting, CEO Report, and 3 CFO advisory meetings per month. Starts at $2,900/month. WIP, cash flow forecasting, and the CEO Report are Executive tier only.
Do you handle payroll?
No. We have vetted payroll software partners — including prevailing wage integrations — that connect directly with ControlQore. Those are separate engagements at additional cost.
How long does onboarding take?
60 days. We migrate your books to the start of your last taxable year, set up ControlQore, and build your job costing structure. Fully operational in two months.
What software do clients use?
ControlQore. All SPM clients run on ControlQore for job costing and WIP. We set it up and manage it — you don't have to learn it. Clients switching from QuickBooks, Sage, or other platforms migrate during onboarding.
Do you work alongside our CPA?
Yes. We work alongside your existing CPA — not replacing them. Clean books and accurate job costing make their job easier at tax time.
What happens when we grow past $12M?
We have a clear graduation path. We prepare your financials, systems, and team for the transition and connect you with the right firm for your next stage of growth.
