CPA for Contractors in Los Angeles
Revenue can look strong while materials, field payroll, subcontractors, change orders, and slow collections erode a job. Contractor accounting should show where each project stands and how the company is performing beyond the current backlog.
Accounting support for the company behind the jobs
Monthly accounting and cleanup
Bank, card, payroll, loan, vendor, and receivable reconciliation; month-end review; financial statements; and cleanup of unsupported prior balances.
Payroll and contractor reporting
Payroll setup and processing, job coding, information-return support, and reconciliation to field and accounting records within the agreed scope.
Business and owner tax
Return preparation and planning coordinated with job reports, fixed assets, vehicles, payroll, entity records, and known changes in the business.
Entity and compliance support
Formation and S-corporation review when appropriate, accounting setup, annual compliance, and coordination with legal and licensing advisers.
Subcontractor status is more than a W-9
A contract, invoice, or Form W-9 does not by itself establish that a worker is an independent contractor. We use the approved legal and tax determination to configure payroll, vendor records, certificates, and information reporting. When the relationship is unclear, we flag it before changing the accounting treatment.
