In the construction industry, managing materials, timelines, and subcontractors is complex enough—add in job costing, payroll, and ever-changing budgets, and the financial side of things can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why specialized construction bookkeeping services are more than just helpful—they’re essential.

At Enter And Post LLC, we offer tailored bookkeeping solutions designed specifically for construction companies, general contractors, and subcontractors. Our mission is simple: to give you clarity and control over your finances, so you can focus on building projects, not sorting through spreadsheets.

What Makes Construction Bookkeeping Different?

Unlike general bookkeeping, construction bookkeeping requires a deep understanding of job costing, progress billing, retainage, change orders, and project-specific financial tracking. A standard bookkeeper may struggle with the complexity, but a construction-focused expert ensures every dollar is accounted for—accurately and in real-time.

Key elements of construction bookkeeping include:

  • 🧾 Job costing by project, phase, or trade

  • 📊 Progress billing and percentage-of-completion accounting

  • 💼 Payroll and union reporting

  • 📁 Tracking change orders and lien waivers

  • 🧮 Equipment cost allocation and depreciation

  • 💰 Retainage management and accounts receivable

With so many moving parts in construction finance, one error can throw off an entire project budget. That’s why precision and industry knowledge are non-negotiable.
