QuickBooks job costing, retainage tracking, AIA billing, and prevailing wage compliance for New York roofing contractors.
New York has one of the most complex roofing markets in the US. NYC commercial roofing involves union labor (Local 8 Roofers), prevailing wage on public projects, Local Law compliance, and AIA billing on virtually all commercial work. Upstate New York has a residential replacement market driven by severe winters. The financial requirements between NYC commercial and upstate residential work are dramatically different.
NYC commercial roofing has some of the most complex bookkeeping requirements in any US market — union labor, prevailing wage, AIA billing, retainage, and high-value WIP schedules are standard.
Every New York 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 New York 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 New York tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
