Bookkeeping for CONTRACTORS
Every month roofers, painters, plumbers, and other skilled tradesmen depend on us to help them know if their jobs are actually making money.
After all, isn’t that why you got into business?
Now it’s your turn to have peace of mind and be confident in your financial numbers.
Are you wasting:
Time:
What could you do with an extra 10, 20, 40 or even more hours a month? Maybe find another contract or two…cha ching!
Cash:
How much are you losing each month not knowing the true cost of your projects? It would be nice to pocket an extra 5, 10, 20 percent or more. Wouldn’t it?
Energy:
How does it sound to stop stressing about the state of your books? Like a sigh of relief…every month…every tax season.

That’s Tough
Ask Us How We Know…
2012 – we were down to the last few bucks in the bank and needed a hail Mary. So, we opened our first business selling books on Amazon. We were rockin’ and rollin’ for 2 years until…
We were forced to actually look at what we were spending. And guess what? It was more than we were making. It doesn’t take a genius to know that isn’t good business. So, we had to close the doors – and that stunk.
The Good News…
Now we help contractors make sure this doesn’t happen to them! Our Clean-up, Catch-up, Monthly & Upgrade services will take your bookkeeping to the next level so that you can make wise financial decisions in your business.
Our Services

CAUGHT UP.
KEPT UP.
That’s our motto! We know how to whip your books into shape and keep’em that way. Wouldn’t it be great to let us do the heavy lifting so that you can focus on your projects? Yep!
"I tried, but they're a mess!"
Hey, at least you gave your books a shot! We’re pros at straightening out your best efforts. Put your mind at ease because whatever the damage, it’s fixable.
"Nope! Haven't touched them."
So your books are a month or two behind, or maybe even a year or more. You can quit worrying about it because we’ve got this…bring it on!
“I’ve got other things I need to be doing!”
This is where we really shine! It’s time to let a pro handle the daily grind of all that goes into making sure you have accurate, timely numbers.

Working With Us
who’s behind the curtain?
That’s a great question! At Abundant Life Bookkeeping we believe in working closely with our clients; and you should know what that looks like.
Professional:
Rude folks sorta rub us the wrong way, so we treat our clients the way we want to be treated; with respect and courtesy.
Skilled:
Learning is a hobby with us. We believe in delivering contractors the best industry know-how; it’s our responsibility and we take it seriously.
Friendly:
Cheesy? Maybe. But we enjoy the relationships we have with our clients and want to do the same with you. So, hopefully, you like a little laughter with your business!
Why A Virtual Bookkeeper?
“You’re…virtual? What does that even mean?” It means that we’re not tied down to a location or a set number of hours. Which is a great thing for you. And here’s why:
Low Overhead:
We’re a contractor, like you. So we cover the expenses for our own:
- Supplies
- Training
- Software
- Insurance
- Vacation/PTO
Think how much that will save you each year in employee expenses…a bucket load!
Affordable:
$44,767 – that’s the national average salary of a bookkeeper as of August 2021 according to salary.com. Add in benefits and that number goes up to $67,533!
The starting price for our monthly bookkeeping packages are a fraction of that. PLUS we work on a contract basis so there’s no long term commitments!

What Clients Are Saying
F.A.Q.
How do I know I'm ready for Abundant Life Bookkeeping?
- If you’re spending more time and energy on bookkeeping than needed and your projects are suffering for it
- If you’re not keeping up with your bookkeeping at all and putting your companies’ future at risk
- If you’ve tried other bookkeepers and felt like they didn’t “get you”, or understand the needs of a contractor
- If you or your office staff has not understood exactly how to use QuickBooks Online or haven’t been trained to accurately do bookkeeping
Can you file my taxes too?
No, we are professional bookkeepers, not accountants or CPA’s. We keep track and categorize your income and expenses and make sure that everything is accounted for (and nothing is duplicated) so that your CPA can give you tax advice and file your taxes more easily and quickly.
We CAN and will coordinate with your CPA at tax time to make getting your taxes done more seamless.
I use other apps for my business. Can I still use them?
Of course! There are many apps that integrate with QuickBooks Online such as Buildertrend, Knowify, Acculynx, Housecall Pro, and Service Mate just to name a few. If you need suggestions on apps to help your business we can discuss that as well!
What if I'm not a contractor, can you still help me?
We primarily work with contractors, but we’d be happy to see if we can help! Even if it’s to give a referral to a trusted coleague.
Do I have to send you statements every month?
We try to make this as smooth and simple as possible – because we all know that contractors don’t need any more stress! QuickBooks Online automatically pulls in business transactions from most banks.
We then categorize and reconcile those transactions. Any transactions we’re unclear about will go to your client portal to easily provide us with clarification. As we get more familiar with your business and your typical spending there are less questions each month.
We can help you keep track of your receipts as well!
