Bookkeeping for plumbers built by someone who understands why your March and your June don’t look anything alike.

You didn’t get into plumbing to spend your evenings reconciling a checkbook. But when your books can’t tell you whether last month’s commercial repipe job made money, or whether that 1099 sub you brought on for overflow work is going to cost you at tax time, the numbers stop being background noise. They become the thing standing between a good year and a rough one with a surprise tax bill.

Built for How Plumbing Contractors Actually Run

Generic bookkeeping software and generic accountants treat your business like a retail shop with steady, predictable income. It isn’t. Your revenue swings with the season and the size of the job. Your costs split between materials, W-2 labor, and 1099 subcontractors who each get reported differently. Your permits and inspection fees belong to specific jobs, not to the business overhead bucket.

We build your books around that reality, not around a template.

What’s included:

We believe your financial statements should serve you. You’ll get:

• Monthly bookkeeping with a chart of accounts set up specifically for job costing, so materials and labor never get counted correctly.
• Accurate, current books you can depend on to estimate quarterly taxes instead of guessing.
• Clean tracking for 1099 subcontractor payments, so year-end filing isn’t a scramble.
• Monthly reporting that shows job profitability, not just total revenue, so you know which jobs are actually worth taking.
• A partner who understands Arizona licensing, bonding, and workers’ comp requirements as they apply to your books.
  
  

Monthly Bookkeeping Only

We don’t do tax prep, audits, or payroll processing. We do one thing and we do it well; keep your books clean, current, and useful, every single month. That focus means your bookkeeping isn’t an afterthought squeezed in between other services. It’s the whole job.

That focus also means the numbers are current when you need them, not two months behind when your CPA asks for a quarterly estimate or a bank asks for financials on a loan application. Plumbing contractors who work with us know what their job profitability looks like this month, not 4 months later.

Why The Numbers Advisors

Tucson has plenty of firms that will process your transactions. Few understand what makes a plumbing business different from every other small business on their client list, and fewer still are actually local. We are. We know the Tucson market, the seasonal patterns that hit Southern Arizona contractors, and the specific ways plumbing bookkeeping goes wrong when nobody’s paying close attention.

We believe your numbers should tell you in real time whether or not you’re making the money you want to make. It’s not just a set of numbers you hand your accountant once a year to figure out how much you owe the government. 

Leverage Through Insight isn’t a tagline we picked because it sounded good. It’s what happens when your numbers finally tell you something useful, instead of just sitting there.
