Sound Familiar?

If You Run a Construction Business,
You've Felt This.

01

You closed a $60,000 month and still feel broke. No job cost reports. No idea where the money went. Just a bank balance that doesn't make sense.

02

You ran 12 jobs last month. You can't tell anyone which ones made you money — and which ones you quietly lost on.

03

Your last bookkeeper had never heard of a job cost report. Didn't understand your trade. You spent more time explaining your business than they spent working.

04

Tax season hits and your CPA needs things you can't find. The scramble costs you money, time, and sleep — every single year.

Why TLG Is Different

Built From Inside
the Trades.

I'm Quinton Thomas. My family owns a contracting company — I've been inside real contractor books since before TLG existed. I've seen what happens when cash is leaking and nobody can explain why. I've watched good construction contractors close big months and still come up short.

Most bookkeepers don't know how construction businesses actually operate. They can't tell you which crew cost you money last month. They've never built job costing for a construction company from scratch. That ends here.

TLG is built exclusively for construction contractors. Your chart of accounts is built for construction from day one. Your job costing runs from the first invoice. Every month, you know exactly where your cash went — and which jobs made it.

  • Family-owned contracting background
  • QuickBooks Online Certified
  • Job costing across all construction trades
  • Remote — Serving contractors nationwide
  • Flat-rate pricing — no hourly surprises
  • Integrity-first, always

The Process

How We Get Your
Books Right.

1
Discovery Call

15–30 minutes. We talk about your business, your current books, and where the gaps are. No pressure.

2
File Review

We review your QBO file or year-to-date financials — find what's wrong, what's missing, and what needs fixing.

3
Loom Review

You get a personalized video walkthrough of exactly what we found and how we'll fix it — before you sign anything.

4
Onboarding

We build your trade-specific chart of accounts, get job costing running, and connect your bank feeds from day one.

5
Reports by the 10th

Every month — books closed, every transaction coded, P&L, balance sheet, and job cost report on your desk by the 10th.

The Difference

What Changes When You
Work With TLG.

Most construction contractors don't have a bookkeeping problem. They have a visibility problem. Here's what that looks like — fixed.

✕  Before TLG
You closed a $90K month and still feel broke. No idea where the money went.
15 jobs last month. Can't tell anyone which ones actually made money.
Tax season is a scramble. Your CPA is frustrated. Checks you didn't budget for.
Your bookkeeper doesn't know what a job cost report is — or what ABC Supply does.
Pricing new jobs on gut feel, not actual cost data from past work.
Personal and business money tangled. Payroll timing creates cash panics.
✓  After TLG
Clean monthly reports on your desk by the 10th. Every dollar accounted for.
Job-by-job profit visibility. You know which crews make money and which don't.
CPA-ready books all year. Tax season is a handoff, not a disaster.
A bookkeeper who understands trades — draw schedules, change orders, subcontractor costs.
Real cost data from every job so your next estimate is built on numbers, not guesses.
Cash flow clarity. You know what's coming in, what's going out, and when.
Know Your Numbers

Metrics That Actually
Run Your Business.

A generalist bookkeeper gives you a P&L. We give you the numbers that tell you how your construction business performs — job by job, crew by crew, month by month.

01

Gross Profit Per Job — Know which jobs made money and which ones cost you margin before you close the next estimate.

02

Labor Burden by Crew — Find out which crew is profitable and which one is quietly eating your margin every month.

03

Material Cost % — Track material spend as a percentage of job revenue so overruns get caught while the job is open.

04

Supplement Profitability — See whether your storm damage supplements are moving the needle — or just adding admin work.

05

Overhead % — Know your true overhead as a percentage of revenue so you stop underpricing jobs.

06

Cash Conversion Cycle — Track how fast money moves from job close to bank account so cash panics stop happening.

07

Revenue Per Sales Rep — Know who on your team drives profitable revenue — not just volume.

08

Budget vs. Actual — Compare estimated vs. actual spend on every job so each estimate gets smarter.

Cleanup & Catch-Up

Behind on Your Books?
Let's Fix That.

Construction bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up

Most trades businesses that reach out to us aren't starting from zero — they're starting from a mess. Months or years of uncategorized transactions, missing reconciliations, and books the CPA won't touch. That's not a problem. That's exactly what we do.

📋

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

You're current on your business but behind on your books. We work backwards month by month — reconciling accounts, coding transactions, and rebuilding your financials until everything is current and accurate.

🔧

Cleanup Bookkeeping

Your books exist but they're wrong. Duplicate entries, miscoded transactions, accounts that don't make sense for a trades business. We tear it down and rebuild it correctly — chart of accounts, job costing structure, and all.

📁

CPA Handoff Prep

Tax season is coming and your accountant is asking for clean books you don't have. We get you organized fast — reconciled accounts, accurate P&L, and a package your CPA can actually work with without charging you extra to untangle it.

🏗️

New QBO File Setup

Starting fresh in QuickBooks Online — or switching from a system that wasn't built for trades. We set up your file correctly from day one: trade-specific chart of accounts, job costing enabled, bank feeds connected, subs tracked.

How Cleanup Works
01
Discovery Call

We assess the scope — how far back, how messy, what's missing. No guesswork on your end.

02
Scope & Quote

You get a flat-rate quote for the cleanup. No hourly surprises. We talk through the timeline together.

03
We Do the Work

We go through every month, every account. You provide bank statements and documents — we handle the rest.

04
Clean Handoff

Accurate, current books ready for your CPA — or we roll straight into monthly service from there.

Cleanup or catch-up is required before monthly service begins. Every new client starts with a books review. If your books are current and clean, we move straight to onboarding. If cleanup is needed, we scope it, quote it flat-rate, and complete it first — so your first TLG report is one you can actually trust. This is our standard, not an upsell. Cleanup is priced per engagement based on months outstanding and transaction volume. If you roll into monthly service after cleanup, your onboarding fee is waived.

Before Quinton, I had no idea which jobs were making me money. I was running a roofing crew, closing jobs every week, and couldn't tell you if I was actually profitable. Now I know my numbers. I run my business differently because of it.
