Construction bookkeeping services built for Las Vegas contractors
FinTruction provides construction bookkeeping in Las Vegas for general contractors, subcontractors, concrete companies, HVAC contractors, roofers, electricians, plumbers, and specialty trades operating across Clark County and the Las Vegas Valley. Our contractor bookkeeping services include daily transaction recording, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable management, payroll tracking, retainage bookkeeping, and monthly financial statements tailored to the Nevada construction market.
Construction bookkeeping is not the same as bookkeeping for a retail store or a tech company. Las Vegas contractors deal with job-level cost tracking, retainage, progress billing, subcontractor payments, NSCB licensing requirements, and multi-project cash flow management. A general bookkeeper will not catch the financial issues that sink construction companies.
The foundation of accurate construction bookkeeping is recording every transaction to the right job, the right cost code, and the right account. We handle daily transaction entry so your books are always current and every dollar is tracked at the project level.
Las Vegas contractors manage dozens of vendor and subcontractor relationships across multiple projects. We keep your accounts payable organized, ensure bills are coded to the correct jobs, and help you stay on top of payment schedules so you maintain strong vendor relationships and avoid late payment penalties.
Getting paid on time is the lifeblood of every construction company. We manage your accounts receivable, prepare progress billing submissions, track retainage held by clients, and follow up on outstanding invoices so your cash flow stays healthy.
Unreconciled books are unreliable books. We reconcile every bank account, credit card, and line of credit monthly so your financial statements are accurate and your CPA gets clean numbers at year-end.
Labor is the largest expense for most Las Vegas construction companies. We ensure payroll costs are allocated to the correct projects so your job costing reports reflect actual labor burden per job, not just company-wide averages.
Every month you will receive clean, accurate financial statements that show you exactly how your construction company is performing. These reports are formatted for construction and ready for your CPA, bank, or bonding company.
Every construction platform claims to have a "QuickBooks integration." Most break the moment your books need to be accurate. Sales tax mismaps, retainage disappears, change orders create duplicates, and job costing reports stop matching project reality. We fix the integration so your software, your books, and your job‑level numbers all tell the same story.
Also work with Foundation, Sage 100, Bill.com, ADP, Gusto, Ramp, and more. See all platforms we integrate →
Our construction bookkeeping services support contractors and specialty trades of all sizes across the Las Vegas Valley. Whether you run a crew of five or manage a multi-million dollar resort construction project, we keep your books clean and job-level accurate.

They didn’t just record transactions and call it a day. They built a custom chart of accounts around how a remodeling company actually runs, did a full catch-up on years of bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online, and now stay on top of my monthly bookkeeping and payroll. Every step, they broke it down in simple terms instead of burying me in accountant talk.
FinTruction rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up, with real job costing, work in progress, and retainage. They didn’t just hand me reports and disappear; they walked me through my numbers until I understood them.

Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing construction markets in the United States. The city's continued expansion is driven by resort and casino development, entertainment venue construction like MSG Sphere-style projects, residential growth across the Las Vegas Valley, and major infrastructure investments. Billions of dollars in construction spending flow through Clark County every year.
With this volume of construction activity comes financial complexity. Las Vegas contractors manage dozens of active jobs, hundreds of vendor relationships, and thousands of transactions every month. The scale of resort and entertainment venue projects adds layers of complexity with multi-phase billing, large retainage balances, and high subcontractor volumes.
Accurate bookkeeping is not just about compliance. It is the foundation that supports job costing, WIP reporting, bonding applications, tax planning, and every financial decision your construction company makes. When your books are wrong, everything built on top of them is wrong too.
FinTruction provides construction bookkeeping in Las Vegas that keeps your financial records clean, current, and coded to the job level. We understand the pace and scale of the Las Vegas construction market and build bookkeeping systems that keep up with it.
Nevada Lien Law — Notice of Right to Lien: Nevada requires contractors and suppliers to file a Notice of Right to Lien within 31 days of first providing labor or materials to a project. Our bookkeeping tracks project start dates, billings, and payment receipts by job so you can demonstrate compliance with lien notice deadlines and protect your payment rights.
No State Income Tax — Commerce Tax: Nevada has no state income tax, but the Nevada Commerce Tax applies to businesses with gross revenue exceeding four million dollars. Our bookkeeping tracks your gross revenue accurately throughout the year so you know exactly when you approach or exceed the Commerce Tax threshold and can plan accordingly.
NSCB Contractor Licensing: Clark County contractors must be licensed through the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB). License applications and limit increases require financial statements demonstrating your company's financial capacity. Our bookkeeping ensures your financial records are clean, current, and ready for NSCB review at any time.
1099 Reporting for Subcontractors: Contractors who pay subcontractors $600 or more annually must issue 1099-NEC forms. Our bookkeeping processes track every subcontractor payment by vendor and project throughout the year so 1099 preparation is accurate and on time.
Certified Payroll for Federal Projects: Las Vegas contractors working on federally funded projects must submit certified payroll reports under the Davis-Bacon Act. Our bookkeeping tracks wage rates, hours by project, and fringe benefit payments so certified payroll reports can be prepared accurately and without last-minute scrambling.
Unlike general bookkeeping firms, we work exclusively with construction companies and understand the financial workflows that contractors depend on.

Construction bookkeeping records every transaction against specific jobs rather than lumping expenses into general categories. Las Vegas contractors deal with retainage, progress billing, subcontractor payments, resort and casino project complexity, and multi-project cost tracking that a general bookkeeper cannot handle. Construction-specific bookkeeping ensures your financial records reflect the true cost and profitability of each project.
Nevada has no state income tax, which is a significant advantage for contractors. However, Nevada does impose a Commerce Tax on businesses with gross revenue exceeding four million dollars. Proper bookkeeping tracks your gross revenue accurately so you know when the Commerce Tax threshold applies and can plan accordingly. Clean books also ensure you maximize the benefit of operating in a no-income-tax state by documenting all deductible federal expenses.
Under Nevada lien law, contractors and suppliers must file a Notice of Right to Lien within 31 days of first providing labor or materials to a project. Your bookkeeping must track project start dates, billing milestones, and payment receipts by job so you can demonstrate compliance with lien notice deadlines and protect your right to file a lien if payment disputes arise.
Yes. Las Vegas resort and casino construction projects involve complex financial workflows including large-scale progress billing, multi-phase retainage schedules, and high-volume subcontractor management. We set up your books to handle the scale and complexity of hospitality and entertainment venue construction while keeping every transaction coded to the correct job and cost category.
Clark County contractors must be licensed through the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB), which requires financial statements and proof of financial capacity. Our bookkeeping maintains the clean, accurate financial records you need for license applications, renewals, and limit increases. When the NSCB requests your financials, your books are ready.
Monthly reconciliation is the minimum standard, but Las Vegas contractors managing multiple active projects benefit from weekly bookkeeping. The fast pace of Las Vegas construction means transaction volumes can spike quickly. Weekly reconciliation catches miscoded expenses early, keeps subcontractor payments on schedule, and gives you reliable cash flow data at any point during the month.
Yes. We configure QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop specifically for construction companies in Las Vegas. This includes setting up a construction-specific chart of accounts, job costing classes, progress invoicing templates, retainage tracking, and bank feed rules. If your QuickBooks is already set up but disorganized, we clean it up and restructure it for proper construction bookkeeping.
Yes. We handle mid-year transitions regularly for Las Vegas contractors. We reconcile your books from the beginning of the fiscal year to the transition date, clean up any miscoded transactions, and set up proper job costing going forward. Most Las Vegas contractor transitions are completed within two to four weeks with no disruption to your operations.
