QuickBooks job costing, retainage tracking, and monthly P&L reports for Wisconsin roofing contractors — from Milwaukee to Madison.
Wisconsin's roofing season is short and intense — heavy snow load, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and ice dams drive both emergency repair work and a compressed spring-through-fall replacement window. Severe summer hail and wind storms across the southern and eastern parts of the state, including the Milwaukee and Madison metros, create regular insurance restoration demand on top of the usual residential and commercial replacement work. Contractors who only run books once a year often can't tell whether a profitable summer covered a slow winter, or just looked that way on paper.
A compressed roofing season means cash has to last through a long off-season. Job-level margin tracking and a clean monthly P&L matter more here than in states with a year-round season, because there's less room to make up for a misbid job before winter hits.
Every Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin commercial 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 Wisconsin tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
