Exterior contractors have unique money problems.

A generalist bookkeeper doesn't know how your business actually makes money. I do.

📋
"I have no idea if my jobs are profitable."
Revenue is coming in but you can't tell which jobs made money and which ate your margin. You need job costing set up by someone who knows roofing.
🏦
"My CPA charges a fortune every January."
When your CPA spends hours cleaning up a year of transactions, you're paying their rate to do bookkeeping — not tax strategy. Clean monthly books fix this.
🏠
"My books are months behind and I dread looking at them."
Behind on your books means flying blind on bids, payroll, and taxes. I get you current fast — then keep you there every single month.
👷
"Every January I'm scrambling for 1099s."
1099s are due January 31st. I track subcontractor payments all year so January is a button-click, not a crisis.
💳
"I run my business off my bank balance."
Your bank balance doesn't show unpaid subs, outstanding receivables, or tax liability building up. You need a real P&L — delivered monthly, every month.
⛈️
"Storm season wrecks my books every year."
Volume spikes, new subs, projects stacking up — most bookkeepers fall behind. I'm built for it. Storm surge doesn't slow me down.
Why ClearLedger

I built ClearLedger because my own family needed it.

My family owns a roofing company. I'm the CFO and bookkeeper. So I don't just understand this industry from the outside — I live inside it every single month. The subs, the crews, the jobs that ran over, the months where the bank balance looks fine but the real numbers don't add up. I've been there.

I've watched a roofing owner walk off a job thinking they made money — and I've had to show them the real number. I know what that conversation feels like. Job costing isn't optional in this business. It's the difference between growing with confidence and just staying busy without knowing why your account never seems to grow.

That's exactly why I built ClearLedger. Because when I looked at what was available to roofing and exterior trades owners — generalist bookkeepers who didn't know the difference between a crew cost and an overhead expense — I knew there had to be something better. So I built the system I wished existed for my own family's company, and I made it available to yours.

When you hire ClearLedger, I treat your business the same way I treat my own family's. With the same urgency. The same attention. The same expectation that nothing slips through the cracks — because in this industry, it's too costly when it does.

My goal is simple: I want your CPA to ask, "Who's your bookkeeper?" — and for you to say my name with confidence. That's the standard I hold myself to, every single month.
