QuickBooks job costing, tornado storm accounting, and retainage tracking for Kentucky roofing contractors — from Louisville to Lexington.
Kentucky has a growing roofing market centered on Louisville and Lexington, with significant tornado and hail exposure across the state. Western Kentucky is in a high tornado-frequency zone and experienced a catastrophic tornado outbreak in December 2021 that created multi-year restoration work. The Louisville commercial market includes distribution and manufacturing facilities creating industrial roofing demand.
Western Kentucky tornado recovery work created multi-year restoration projects with complex payment structures — proper project accounting and retainage tracking are critical.
Every Kentucky roofing job gets its own QuickBooks Project. Every invoice, bill, and expense tagged to the correct job. Monthly Project Profitability report shows gross margin on every completed job — so you know which work is worth bidding more of.
Retainage held on Kentucky jobs tracked in a dedicated QuickBooks account — visible on your balance sheet, aged monthly, flagged for collection when jobs complete. Most contractors we onboard have $40K–$120K in untracked retainage.
Two reports by the 10th of every month: company P&L and per-job profitability sorted by gross margin. Reports that drive real business decisions — not just annual tax filing.
Every sub paid over $600 in Kentucky tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
