What we do
Construction Accounting & Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping for construction with job costing requires special skills. Most accountants were never trained in the unique requirements of construction accounting. We help you build books you can truly use.
Contractor Tax/
CFO Services
Construction tax law has many unique rules that most CPAs don't know, from specialized tax planning to multiple state taxation and licensing. We work to ensure you pay no more than is legally required.
Construction
Payroll
Payroll for construction also has several unique needs, from certified payroll reports and workers comp reporting to job costing labor and labor burden. We help you manage and control this key part of your business.
Wade and his team stood by us every single step of the way in implementing Profit First. I can't thank them enough for walking with us hand-in-hand step-by-step, making sure we had it right, and then keeping it going.

How it started
Specializing in the construction accounting industry was a natural decision for founder Wade Carpenter, CPA, CGMA, after 30 years in public accounting working with businesses from the smallest mom-and-pop companies to multi-billion dollar international firms.
Wade specializes in this industry because he recognized that construction business owners need help in many areas that generalized CPAs don’t know and can’t handle. Construction accounting, finance, and management have many challenges and issues that most other industries don’t see, but we know well.

Testimonials
JT PLUMBING INC.
I met Wade Carpenter in 2003 at a Real Estate meeting when I first started in Real Estate. Carpenter & Company helped me get my business set up and organized, and when my husband started his fire sprinkler company in 2005, they helped get him set up and organized as well. I have since left the Real Estate industry, and was very happy to know that the company I now work for also uses Carpenter & Company. They are very knowledgeable, trustworthy and dependable. I wouldn’t want to work with any other accounting firm.
I appreciate that it’s never an issue to get them on the phone if I need a question answered. I have found that the staff is extremely professional and knowledgeable and able to answer my questions as well and do so cheerfully.
Thank you and your staff for allowing me to have one less thing to worry about.
