Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 638, And It's About Pillar 2: Controlling The Money - Construction Accounting And Bookkeeping How Smart Money Management Keeps Your Business Profitable and Stress-Free When most small construction business owners think about success, they envision a steady stream of jobs, high-quality work, and satisfied clients. But there's another side to the story that often gets ignored: the financial health of your business. And here's the truth we see every day as construction bookkeeping specialists: Even skilled contractors with full calendars can run into cash flow problems, tax stress, or profit shortfalls—not because of the work, but because of the numbers. That's where Pillar 2: Controlling the Money comes in. In this post, we'll talk about how to take control of your finances through simple, construction-friendly accounting practices—so you can stop guessing and start growing. Why Money Control Is the Backbone of a Construction Business In construction, money doesn't flow evenly. You might spend thousands on materials before getting paid. You may win one big job and then go three weeks without a deposit. Labor and equipment costs can shift mid-project. It's a juggling act. That's why proper accounting isn't just about keeping the IRS happy—it's about: Knowing your job costs Pricing with confidence Keeping cash flow steady Making better business decisions Staying compliant and audit-proof If your books are messy, late, or nonexistent, you're flying blind. However, when your numbers are precise and current, you can run your business, not just react to it. The 5 Biggest Money Mistakes We See in Construction Businesses Let's start with the most common money-related problems we help contractors fix: 1. Bidding Without Knowing Actual Costs Many contractors “guesstimate” job prices based on experience rather than actual data. However, with inflation, labor fluctuations, and new materials, those estimates can quickly lead to underbidding and lost profits. 2. Mixing Personal and Business Finances Swiping your business card for groceries or buying tools with your debit card? That's a fast track to messy books and missed deductions. 3. Falling Behind on Invoicing or Collections Delaying invoices or avoiding follow-ups means delayed payments—and often, unpaid work. 4. Ignoring Overhead Suppose you only account for direct costs (such as materials and labor) and overlook indirect costs, including your phone bill, fuel, insurance, and software subscriptions. In that case, you'll never see your actual profit. 5. No Real Cash Flow Planning Not knowing how much is coming in or going out in the next 30 days can lead to bounced checks, late payments, and last-minute borrowing. Sound familiar? Let's fix that. The 3-Part System for Controlling Your Money Here's how we help contractors like you get your finances under control without overwhelming spreadsheets or accounting jargon: 1. Job Costing – Know What Each Project Really Costs Job costing is the process of tracking every dollar that goes into each project, including labor, materials, subs, equipment, and overhead allocation (LMOS™). Why It Matters: You'll know which jobs are profitable—and which ones aren't worth repeating. You'll improve your estimates over time using real data. You'll spot problems early (like a crew taking too long or material waste). How to Start: Use separate expense categories for each job in your accounting software (or at least use tags/notes). Track time and material costs in real-time, not weeks later. Include a portion of your overhead per job (rent, insurance, admin time, etc.). Even a basic spreadsheet is better than nothing. But ideally, use tools like QuickBooks with project tracking, or apps like Buildertrend that integrate with bookkeeping. 2. Cash Flow Management – Know What's Coming and Going Cash flow isn't the same as profit. You can make a $10,000 profit on paper, but still run out of cash if a client delays payment or if you pay subs too early. Why It Matters: Helps you avoid shortfalls, late payments, or needing to dip into personal funds. It makes it easier to plan purchases or hire help when you can afford to do so. How to Start: Create a weekly cash flow forecast: List all expected income and expenses by date so that you can plan around slow weeks or high-expense periods. Require deposits and progress payments on jobs. Set up reminders for invoicing and follow-ups to ensure timely payments. A construction business with no cash cushion is one unexpected delay away from severe stress. Cash flow forecasting gives you breathing room and peace of mind. 3. Monthly Reporting – Make Decisions Based on Facts, Not Feelings Every month, you should be reviewing key reports that tell you how your business is doing, not just how you feel it's doing. The 3 Reports You Need: Profit & Loss Statement (P&L) – Are you making money? Balance Sheet – What do you own vs. owe? Job Profitability Reports – Which jobs performed best? These reports help you: Adjust pricing and scope when needed Spot overspending early Justify business decisions (such as hiring, purchasing equipment, or expanding) Get ready for taxes long before tax season If your current bookkeeper isn't giving you these reports—or if you don't understand them—it's time for a better system. Bonus Tips for Easy Financial Control Here are a few more best practices we recommend for all small construction business owners: 1. Separate Business Accounts Use a dedicated business checking account and credit card. It simplifies tax prep, reduces errors, and keeps you audit-ready. 2. Keep Receipts and Documentation Use apps like Hubdoc, Dext, or QuickBooks Online to snap and store receipts. Label them with the project name for faster reconciliation. 3. Use Software That Fits Construction Generic accounting tools are sufficient, but platforms like QuickBooks for Contractors, Joist, or Buildertrend offer features specifically tailored to the construction industry, such as progress billing, time tracking, and job costing. 4. Work with a Specialist A bookkeeper who knows construction can save you hours of frustration—and thousands in missed tax deductions or mispriced jobs. The Bottom Line: You Can't Grow What You Don't Measure and What You Can Measure, You Can Manage You wouldn't build a house without a plan. So don't run your business without a handle on your numbers. Controlling the money through job costing, cash flow tracking, and monthly reporting allows you to: Price smarter Avoid financial surprises Protect your profit margins Make better growth decisions You don't need to become a financial expert. You need a system that gives you visibility—and a partner who can help you stay on track. Need Help Getting Your Finances Under Control?

On the 25th of June, our regular City Counselling guest Julie Fairey was involved in a road collision while she was biking in her local area. Fairey wrote about the close call, which she says could have been a lot worse, in a piece published in the Spinoff, as a reinvigoration of her previous advocacy around the need for road safety measures that improve how safely and efficiently Aucklanders can get around the city. As well, this week we've seen the release of the State of the City report, which compares Auckland on metrics including opportunity and prosperity, culture and experience, place and connectivity, innovation and knowledge, and resilience and sustainability. The report found that we are ‘falling behind' other cities, with the biggest emphasis placed on our poor economic productivity in comparison with similar locations. Producer Sara spoke with Julie Fairey about both of these topics, firstly by asking her what motivated her to write about her recent collision.

Have Democrats ceded leadership in space policy? That’s what Mary Guenther believes. She’s the Director of Space Policy at the Progressive Policy Institute and the author of an editorial that claims Democrats have ceded their leadership. She traces the party’s arc from Obama-era reforms to recent data showing that Democrats introduced a third fewer space bills than Republicans in recent years, and proposes ways that the party should embrace this forward-looking field while tying it to their core issues of job creation, supply chains, and climate science.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Our guest, Mary Guenther, argues that the Democratic Party is ceding leadership in space policy, and how linking space to jobs, supply chains, and climate could help refocus the party's relationship with the Cosmos.

Banking on Fraudology is part of the Fraudology Podcast Network.In this eye-opening episode of Banking on Fraudology, host Hailey Windham sits down with Matt O'Neill, a 25-year veteran of the US Secret Service and former managing director of their global cyber investigative operations. O'Neill shares his sobering perspective on how the United States is falling behind in fraud prevention compared to other nations. Drawing from his extensive experience leading high-stakes global takedowns and coordinating multinational operations, O'Neill highlights the urgent need for modernization in information sharing and collaboration between law enforcement and financial institutions.The discussion delves into the limitations of current systems like 314A and 314B, which were groundbreaking when introduced but have failed to keep pace with evolving criminal tactics. O'Neill argues for leveraging modern technology to enable real-time information sharing and close critical gaps that criminals exploit. He also emphasizes the need for cross-industry collaboration, pointing out how social media platforms and telecommunications companies inadvertently enable fraud at massive scales.Perhaps most alarmingly, O'Neill reveals how other countries are innovating faster and treating fraud with greater urgency than the US. He advocates for the creation of a national anti-scam center and increased funding for training state and local law enforcement. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action for listeners to demand better from policymakers and industry leaders.

There's no question artificial intelligence is catapulting human capability to new heights, if it's used properly and ethically, and there's the question. University students are using it more than ever before, according to some surveys more than 80%, sometimes to help them with their work, and sometimes to do it for them. And that brings us to the workplace where AI use can be a source of competitive advantage or unethical and even harmful outcomes without appropriate human intervention.Our question: Are you falling behind because everybody else is using AI to get ahead? Is AI creating a generation of cheaters or achievers?

You cannot do big things if you don't slow down. We're tackling that ever pesky, always present feeling of overwhelm. We live in such a hustle society where the to-do list keeps growing, everything keeps happening, and you can't shake that hamster wheel feeling. Kim Rogne is a high performance coach, and she specializes in supporting working moms. The way that Kim approaches this work is she really talks about the phase of life that you're in, understanding what that phase brings to your life, what you can and cannot do in that phase, but also remembering that that phase ends. Kim started For the Love of, a personal and professional development company where she's a high-performance coach and keynote speaker. She took up coaching after a traumatic skiing accident forced her to slow and really reflect on what she wanted the second half of her best life to be. Prior to coaching, she'd managed multiple real estate brokerages, but she was burnt out. She'd given herself two months' notice to figure out her next move, when a friend told her she'd pay Kim to coach her. She knew then she'd start her own business. “As much as I coach and I teach and I've written about mindset, I don't always have my own mindset in check, and hearing it from somebody else helped me cross that bridge,” says Kim. Kim believes overwhelm is based on choices. It's based on having high standards and comparing ourselves to others. She works with working moms and part of that means acknowledging the phases these working women are going through. A 30-year-old with young children can't compare to Kim talking about waking up at 5:15 a.m. to journal and sip her coffee. It's just not realistic. It's not that you're falling behind, you're comparing yourself to others who aren't at the same stage in life as you are. “I think it's really just taking a step back and asking the question, ‘what can I do right now based on the phase of my life that I am in without comparison,' ” says Kim. It's also owning your choices – deciding what you are going to choose. It's also allowing yourself some rest and recognizing when to have that downtime. There is no right or wrong way to rest, it's about figuring out what works for you … and doing it. Kim says one of two of her clients both took a month off. They learned that their business could survive without them and what it meant to be recharged. What you can do right now matters and it's sufficient. “[Allow] yourself to be okay and trust yourself when you're like, ‘this is enough. I don't need to do more,'” says Kim. When Kim started her business, she committed to a few things: her word of the year was “confident” – she would embody confidence internally and externally; she hired a social media director, and she was going to do daily mindset journaling. January 3, 2023, was her first entry – she had three borrowed prompts: I will let go of, I'm grateful for and I will focus. She started sharing her entries with a friend. It was their way of holding each other accountable. Somehow, this expanded to her clients sending snapshots of their entries. The journaling was working. Kim worked with her sister, a publisher, to rethink the journal. They chose new prompts. For the Love of was built from three parts: planning your week for success, mindset prompts and an end of week reflection. As women, we tend not to brag about our accomplishments; sometimes we forget them. We push through and keep going. Take a moment to recognize what you've done.
