Bookkeeping Built for Roofing & Exterior Contractors
Thomas Ledger Group helps contractors stay on top of their books, understand job profitability, manage cash flow, and make better business decisions with accurate financial reporting.
Your Books Should Show You More Than What Is in the Bank.
A contracting business can stay busy and still lose track of what's actually happening financially — because money moves differently in project-based work.
Accurate books and job-level reporting replace guesswork with clarity.
Know What Your Roofing Company Is Actually Producing.
Know Where the Money Goes
Clean, reconciled accounts and properly classified transactions — every month.
Understand Job Profitability
Track revenue, materials, labor, subcontractors, permits, dumpsters, and other direct costs by project when your systems support it.
Protect Cash Flow
See what's available, what's committed, and what may be needed for upcoming obligations.
Make Better Decisions
Use accurate reports to evaluate pricing, spending, owner draws, hiring, and growth.

Job-Costing Knowledge
We understand project-based businesses, not just transaction categories.
Practical Reporting
Reports that explain what's happening — not just numbers with no context.
Consistent Monthly Process

Clear Communication
Attention to owner draws, subcontractors, vendor documentation, and direct job costs — books prepared for your tax professional.
We understand contractor realities most bookkeepers never think about:
Thomas Ledger Group provides bookkeeping and financial reporting. We do not perform estimates, production management, insurance supplementing, or operational consulting.
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.
Pricing Based on the Work Your Business Requires.
Pricing depends on factors such as monthly transaction volume, number of bank and credit-card accounts, payroll activity, job-costing needs, accounts receivable, accounts payable, subcontractor volume, and the current condition of your books.
