Running a Construction Business is part serious, part white knuckles, part smooth sailing with moments of fun. Because those moments of fun can be few and far between every Contractor needs to have a little humor. Try to see the glass is half full when it really feels like you are in “The Wizard of Oz, ” and instead of going to Kansas you went somewhere else less fun.

Streamline Your Contracting
Company Operations With Our Free Checklist

Free Invoice Template Built
On Excel
You need this simple invoice because you
can use it anytime, anywhere. It has
lines for description, quantity, rate, and amount.
It automatically subtotals the items, calculates sales
tax and totals everything for you! It is designed to record a
payment and show balance due. With many invoice forms, it is
too easy to have a payment be treated as a credit when it is not
applied properly on the form. https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/blog/bid/144649/free-contractor-invoice-template-on-excel
In Washington State how you
apply payments impacts the amount of sales tax is due and
collected.

Free Construction Template
Change Order Form For Contractors
The purpose of the construction change order form is to help you
make a prisoner on paper any conversations between your customer
and you, the contractor, your project manager, superintendent,
foreman, construction worker or anyone else who has conversations
with your customer. https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/free-construction-template-change-order-form-for-contractors
A lot of the money is made
or lost on a job as shown in the profit and loss by job
report can be traced back to how well construction
change orders were handled. Customers remember and changes that
reduce the amount they owe. Expect some memory loss about the
additions that replaced them.

Free Contractors Application
For Payment Sample For Construction Contractors
Are You Having Problems Getting Paid On Large Projects? The problem
is when you get beyond two invoices, add some job deposits and
change orders the process gets real tricky because there is no
"Magic Button" in QuickBooks for contractors that will generate an
invoice that makes sense to your customer.https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/free-contractors-application-for-payment-sample-0
The Application For Payment
Invoices shows the money
trail from beginning to end in a way that everyone can
understand and
appreciate which means you get paid faster, with less hassle
and your clients will love you for it!

Free Time Card Samples For
Construction Contractors
Employees need to fill out their time card daily for the most
accuracy. The nature of employees it to fill their time card five
minutes before they would like to collect their paycheck. See a
variety of timecards that can be printed and manually filled out or
are Excel and can be filled out on a computer.https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/free-sample-time-card-calculator-downloads
Manual time cards are an
improvement over no time cards at all.

Electronic Timecards
Have your employees clock in and out using their cell phone.
Recommend electronic time cards as the best way to not over handle
the payroll information and have the information in a usable format
for future reference. https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/tsheets
This Is The Tip - Of The
Iceberg. Everything we publish in our blog posts,
articles in other websites, and anything you can find on the web is
nothing compared to what is available to you as our client. We show
only the basic tools to open your mind to the possibilities that
are available to you. The best finish carpentry tools in the hands
of a golf professional without proper carpentry training will not
produce anything near to what a skilled finish carpenter can. The
same can be said about the best construction business consulting
and accounting tools in the hands of a skilled finish carpenter.
And I say that with respect and admiration for everyone in
construction.
If you are behind on your taxes and other bills. To get a line
of credit, you need financials and you are receiving nasty phone
calls and letters from Your Vendors and Government Agencies you may
want to engage our services to do your bookkeeping. We try to keep
the process as simple as possible.
We Do Not Close Sales, We
Open Relationships Hard Ball closing is not my
style. You are added to our marketing workflow and receive a series
of emails, but I do not call so often that you dread taking my
call. We have solutions when you are ready.
I would love to chat with you about your business. Here is a link
that tells you what to expect.
