"Roofers don't lose money in the busy season — they lose it in January. We build the books that tell you your margin per job and how much to reserve before the slow months hit."
The difference

Generic bookkeepers miss what drives roofing profitability.

Roofing runs on job margin, subcontractor networks, and seasonal cash swings. Insurance work adds a revenue-recognition layer most bookkeepers have never navigated — so a busy season can still produce a thin year.

What most bookkeepers miss

  • Insurance job revenue booked wrong — supplements and recoverable depreciation missed or misclassified
  • All jobs lumped as "roofing revenue" — no margin by job or job type
  • Subcontractor crews paid without W-9s — 1099s missed, IRS exposure
  • All workers coded to one comp class — overpays premiums significantly
  • No seasonal cash plan — January is always a surprise

What Turnkey CFO gives you

  • Job costing per roof — materials, labor, and subcontract costs tracked so you see margin by job and job type
  • Insurance revenue by job — supplements, recoverable depreciation, and final payment reconciled correctly
  • Subcontractor compliance — W-9 at first payment, payments tracked, 1099-NEC filed by January 31
  • Correct workers' comp classes — roofer vs laborer vs sales vs office, coded right from day one
  • Seasonal cash flow planning — so the winter slow season doesn't catch you unprepared

BUILT FOR ROOFERS

Know your margin before the next tear-off.

Job costing, material draws, and crew payroll, in view.

What we handle

Everything your roofing business needs. Nothing it doesn't.

01

Monthly bookkeeping & close

Accurate categorization of materials, labor, subcontract costs, and revenue by job type. Full monthly close with P&L and balance sheet — including insurance job reconciliation. See all services

Core
02

Job costing per roof

Materials, labor, subcontract costs, and haul-off allocated per job so you see gross margin by job, by crew, and by job type — residential, commercial, storm, and retail. Shingles, felt, ice-and-water, ridge caps, and nails vary by roof size, pitch, and complexity; we track all of it so you know which jobs to prioritize before the next storm season.

Most popular
03

Insurance work revenue tracking

Insurance jobs have multiple payment stages: initial payment, supplement approvals, recoverable depreciation, and final check. We track each stage per job so your books reflect what's actually collectible — not just what's been deposited.

Roofing-specific
04

Crew payroll & workers' comp

Payroll for installers, laborers, sales reps, and office staff — each at the correct workers' comp classification code. Roofing installers carry among the highest comp rates in construction (Class 5551); correct classification by role can meaningfully reduce your premium and your audit exposure at renewal.

Ops
05

Subcontractor 1099 tracking

Sub crews tracked from first payment. W-9 before the first job, 1099-NEC filed by January 31. Storm season subs are the most common source of missed 1099s — we close that gap from day one.

Compliance
06

Bill pay & materials AP

Supplier invoices, material deliveries, and dumpster rental tracked and paid on schedule so your AP is current and your job costs stay accurate.

Ops
07

Live financial dashboard

Revenue by job type, margin per crew, insurance job pipeline status, seasonal cash forecast, and outstanding receivables — updated monthly and open in your browser, not buried in a PDF.

Most popular
08

Vehicle & equipment depreciation

Work trucks, flatbeds, trailers, and shingle lifts are fixed assets depreciated over multiple years — not expensed at purchase. Section 179 and bonus depreciation can accelerate deductions in the purchase year. We track every asset, document business use, and reconcile to your CPA's return categories. Behind on the books? Catch-up bookkeeping gets you current first.

Fixed assets

Tax filings and legal matters — coordinated with your CPA or attorney. Turnkey CFO is a bookkeeping firm; we don't provide tax or legal advice.

Questions

Questions roofing contractors ask us first.

Do you replace our CPA?+
No — we work alongside your CPA. We keep books clean and filing-ready year-round. If you need a CPA who understands contractors, we can refer one.
Can you track insurance jobs with multiple payments?+
Yes. We track each insurance job from initial payment through supplements and recoverable depreciation. Every payment stage is matched to the correct job so your revenue is accurate and you know what's still collectible.
How do you handle sub crews during storm season?+
We track every sub from first payment. W-9 before the first job, payments tracked per job, 1099-NEC filed by January 31. Storm season subs are the most common source of 1099 misses — we close that gap from day one.
Can you help with seasonal cash flow?+
Yes. We map your historical revenue and cost patterns to identify the slow-season cash gap, then help you build a plan around it — reserve targets, credit line timing, or off-season service expansion.
Do you work with Roofr, JobNimbus, or AccuLynx?+
Yes. We integrate your roofing CRM or estimating software with QuickBooks so job costs and revenue sync correctly without double entry.
Can we cancel?+
