A Familiar Pattern

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.

Not knowing which jobs actually made money
Materials and subcontractor costs assigned incorrectly
Personal spending and owner draws distorting the numbers
Invoices completed but cash not yet collected
Insurance or customer payments arriving later than payroll and material bills
Missing vendor information and W-9s
Pricing decisions based on the bank balance
Reaching tax season with unreconciled or incomplete books
Reports that don't explain what's happening in the business

Accurate books and job-level reporting replace guesswork with clarity.

Categorizing transactions is only the foundation. Contractors need books that help them understand profitability, cash flow, spending, and operational performance.

Job-Costing Knowledge

We understand project-based businesses, not just transaction categories.

Consistent Monthly Process

The same reliable close, every month, so nothing slips through the cracks.

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:

Customer Deposits Progress & Final Payments Insurance Proceeds Supplements Change Orders Material Purchases Subcontractor Payments Crew Labor Permits Dumpsters Multiple Jobs in Progress Seasonal Cash-Flow Swings Owner Draws Warranty & Callback Expenses

Thomas Ledger Group provides bookkeeping and financial reporting. We do not perform estimates, production management, insurance supplementing, or operational consulting.

About the Founder

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.

You run your roofing company. I'll run your books.

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.

Investment

Pricing Based on the Work Your Business Requires.

Every contracting business is different.

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.

Every Engagement Includes

  • Monthly bookkeeping & reconciliations
  • Monthly financial close
  • Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet
  • Tax-ready books
  • Direct communication with your bookkeeper

Scoped to Your Business

  • Job costing & project tracking
  • Accounts receivable support
  • Accounts payable support
  • Contractor compliance support
  • Multi-entity bookkeeping
How Pricing Works
No two businesses are scoped the same way.
Your monthly investment is determined after a discovery call and financial review, based on what your business actually requires — not a flat rate.

Every engagement begins with a discovery call and financial review. We then recommend a service scope based on what your business actually needs. Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping are quoted separately after reviewing your books.
