Trades and contractors

Electrical, mechanical, general and specialty contractors, from a single crew to several.

How we can help

Contractors' books have things most businesses do not: holdbacks, progress billing, work in progress, subcontractor slips. The books have to track each job, not only each month, and HST follows the invoice date whether or not the cash has arrived.

We set up job costing that matches how you quote, keep holdback receivable and payable straight, and file the T5018 subcontractor slips the CRA expects every year.

What that means in practice

  • Job costing and work-in-progress at month-end
  • Holdbacks under the Construction Act tracked separately
  • T5018 subcontractor reporting and WSIB clearance
  • HST on progress billings and deposits

Start with a conversation about where things stand.

Describe the situation and we will tell you honestly what the work involves, roughly what it costs, and how soon we could start. Nothing is billed until we have both signed an engagement letter.
