Frequently Asked Questions
How much does construction bookkeeping cost?
Most contractors earning $500K–$10M pay $500–$4,000/month for fractional CFO services. Setup fees range $2,000–$8,000 depending on cleanup needed. Most clients recover costs within 60 days through found revenue.
What is a fractional CFO for contractors?
A fractional CFO provides the financial oversight of a six-figure controller without the full-time salary. For construction companies, this means job costing, WIP reporting, cash flow forecasting, and strategic financial reviews at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Why do profitable contractors run out of cash?
Construction has unique timing mismatches: materials paid on delivery, labor paid weekly, but collections happen monthly or slower. Add 5–10% retainage holds and delayed change order billing, and a company showing 22% margins on the P&L can have an empty bank account.
What software does Salisbury Bookkeeping use?
QuickBooks Online as the financial backbone, integrated with field management tools including Buildertrend, Procore, Knowify, and CoConstruct. All data syncs automatically — zero double entry.
How fast can I see results with Salisbury Bookkeeping?
Most clients find their first profit leak within 30 days. Average recovered revenue in the first 60 days is $28,400. Full financial visibility — job costing, cash flow forecasting, real-time dashboards — takes approximately 90 days.
Does Salisbury Bookkeeping work with contractors outside Utah?
Yes. Everything is cloud-based. While headquartered in Eagle Mountain, Utah, Salisbury Bookkeeping serves general contractors, specialty trades, home builders, and remodelers nationwide.
What is the difference between Salisbury Bookkeeping and BuilderCFO?
Salisbury Bookkeeping is the done-with-you fractional CFO service ($500–$4,000/month). BuilderCFO is the do-it-yourself construction financial dashboard ($299–$699/month). Both are built by the same team. Many contractors start with BuilderCFO and upgrade to full Salisbury services as they grow.
Do I have to switch to QuickBooks Online?
Yes. QuickBooks Online is the only platform that reliably integrates with construction project management tools like Buildertrend, Procore, and Knowify. It's also the standard recognized by banks, bonding companies, and CPAs.
