Bookkeeping for Contractors & Trades in Vancouver
You deal with jobs, materials, tools, crews, and tight timelines. Your bookkeeping should support that, not fight it. I focus on practical, job-aware bookkeeping for small contractors and trades in the Vancouver area.
Make your projects and numbers line up
Many contractors and trades have a sense that the work is there, but the numbers never quite add up. The goal is to connect income, materials, tools, and labour in a way that makes sense — and stands up to your accountant or CRA if needed.
GST/PST and compliance in mind
- Set up accounts and tax codes properly in QuickBooks
- Record sales and expenses with GST/PST handled correctly
- Support for filing returns and reconciling to the books
- Reduce surprises if CRA ever takes a closer look
Year-end ready for your accountant
- Clean trial balance, reconciled bank and credit cards
- Consistent coding of materials, subcontractors, and overhead
- Clear notes where assumptions are needed
- Less back-and-forth at year-end, fewer adjustments

Practical help for small contractors & trades
You don’t need a full-time office person. You need someone who understands construction-style books and can keep things clean, simple, and defensible.
