Bookkeeping Built for Roofing Contractors
Thomas Ledger Group helps roofing and exterior companies maintain accurate books, understand job profitability, manage cash flow, and make confident financial decisions.
Strong Sales Do Not Always Mean Strong Profit.
A roofing company can stay busy, sell large projects, and still struggle with cash — because money moves differently in contracting than it does in most businesses.
Accurate books and job-level reporting replace guesswork with clarity.

About Quinton Thomas
Thomas Ledger Group was founded by Quinton Thomas to give roofing and exterior contractors the financial organization and reporting they need to make confident business decisions.
Quinton's background is in financial accountability, not construction — he previously worked in municipal government as an Assistant Tax & Utility Collector, where he built a strong foundation in reconciliations, reporting, and managing funds with accuracy.
His exposure to the roofing industry came through close involvement with a family roofing and exterior company, where he handled the bookkeeping and financial side of the business — reconciling accounts, managing QuickBooks Online, and producing financial reports as the company grew. That experience gave him a firsthand look at how roofing companies actually manage money day to day.
Every month, Quinton works behind the scenes to keep your QuickBooks organized, your accounts reconciled, and your financial statements accurate and tax-ready — so you always know where your business stands.
His commitment is straightforward: dependable bookkeeping, responsive communication, and financial clarity you can actually use.
Priced for the size and complexity of your business.
Pricing may be affected by monthly transaction volume, number of bank and credit-card accounts, number of active jobs, job-costing requirements, payroll and subcontractor activity, accounts receivable support, accounts payable support, reporting complexity, number of business entities, and the current condition of your books.
