Sound familiar?

Roofing owners have
unique money problems.

A generalist bookkeeper doesn't know the difference between an ACV check and an RCV payment. They don't know how to track subs for 1099s all year. And they definitely don't know what makes a roofing job profitable.

We do. We built ClearLedger specifically for this industry.

Let's Fix Your Books →
📋
"I have no idea if my jobs are actually profitable."
You're busy, revenue is coming in, but you can't tell which jobs made money and which ones ate your margin. You need job costing — set up correctly by someone who knows roofing.
🏦
"My CPA charges a fortune every January to clean up my books."
When your CPA spends 10 hours cleaning up a year of transactions at $300/hr, that's $3,000 before your return even starts. Clean monthly books make this a non-issue.
🏠
"I don't track my ACV and RCV separately — or at all."
The ACV check is not the full story. Recoverable depreciation comes later. If you're not tracking open insurance balances, you're leaving real money on the table.
👷
"Every January I'm scrambling to track what I paid my subs."
1099s are due January 31st. We track your subcontractor payments all year so January is a button-click, not a crisis.
💳
"I run my business by checking my bank balance."
Your bank balance doesn't show unpaid subs, outstanding insurance balances, or tax liability building up. You need a real P&L — delivered monthly.

Quinton Thomas — Founder, ClearLedger Bookkeeping
Why I Built This

I didn't learn roofing
from a textbook.

My family owns a roofing company. I'm the CFO. I've sat at that table — I know what it feels like when the books don't match the bank, when you can't tell if a job actually made money, and when tax season hits and nobody has clean numbers.

Before building ClearLedger, I worked in municipal finance — tax and utilities — where I had direct exposure to contractors working on public projects. Professional accounting in a regulated environment, not just small business bookkeeping.

That combination — real experience as a roofing company CFO plus a professional finance background working alongside contractors — is what separates ClearLedger from a generalist bookkeeper who learned roofing from a YouTube channel.

🏠 Family Business
CFO of a Roofing Company
My family owns and operates a roofing company. I manage the finances. Job costs, insurance payment tracking, sub management, monthly close — the same work I do for every ClearLedger client.
🏛️ Municipal Finance
Tax & Utilities — Government Accounting
Worked in municipal finance handling tax and utility accounting, with direct exposure to contractors on public projects. Professional accounting discipline applied to trades bookkeeping.
📊 QuickBooks Online
QBO Certified · Roofing-Specific Setup
Every client gets a roofing-specific QBO chart of accounts — job costing, ACV/RCV split tracking, COGS vs. overhead separation, and sub tracking built in from day one.

What Clients Say

Roofing owners who
know their numbers.

★★★★★
"
Before ClearLedger I had no idea which jobs were actually making money. Now I get a P&L every month and I can see exactly where my margin goes. It changed how I bid jobs.

Jason R.
Owner, Ridge Line Roofing LLC
★★★★★
"
My CPA used to spend half the tax appointment cleaning up my books. Last year she said it was the cleanest file she'd seen from a roofing company. That alone paid for the whole year.
MT
Mike T.
Owner, Apex Storm Restoration
★★★★★
"
I had $18,000 in uncollected RCV that I didn't even know about. ClearLedger caught it in the first month. I don't know what I was doing before — just guessing, I think.

We work exclusively in QuickBooks Online. If you're on a different platform, we handle the migration — it's usually straightforward and we'll walk you through what to expect. If you're starting fresh, we'll get your QBO set up correctly from day one.

That's actually why most people call us. We offer catch-up bookkeeping to get you current — we'll clean up however many months are behind and get you to a clean starting point. No judgment. It's very common and we've seen it all.

Ask us about ACV vs. RCV, how to split an insurance deposit, what goes in COGS vs. overhead on a roofing P&L, or how to set up sub tracking for 1099s. We built our entire system around roofing companies. Book a call and see for yourself.

We are a bookkeeping firm, not a CPA or tax preparer. We keep your books clean all year so your CPA can do their best work in less time — which usually saves you money on their bill. We work closely with your existing CPA or can refer you to one who knows the trades.

Month-to-month. We don't lock you in because we don't need to — the work speaks for itself. Cancel with 30 days' written notice and we'll deliver your final books and hand off everything cleanly.

Sign the engagement agreement, complete a short intake form (about 20 minutes), and grant us Accountant Access to your QBO file. We handle setup — chart of accounts, bank feeds, opening balances. Within 10 business days, your first clean books are in your inbox.

We work with roofing companies from $500K to $5M+ in annual revenue. If you're below that, we can still help — book a call and we'll figure out the right fit. If you're above $4M or have multiple entities, we'll put together a custom quote for you.
