Managing the books for a home remodeling business is far more complex than standard bookkeeping. Every project is a unique financial ecosystem with its own materials, subcontractors, timelines, and potential for unexpected changes. Generic bookkeeping simply can’t capture the details you need to protect your margins and grow your business.

At Kellcat Bookkeeping, we provide specialized bookkeeping services exclusively for home remodelers in the Denver area. We understand the financial pressures of job costing, client draws, and vendor management inherent in your industry. Our expertise ensures your financial data is not just accurate, but a powerful tool for making smarter, more profitable decisions. We know the Denver market, from local supplier costs to subcontractor rates, allowing us to provide context that helps you bid more accurately and build a more resilient remodeling company.

Our Specialized Bookkeeping Services for Home Remodelers

Your remodeling business deserves financial tracking that’s as detailed and well-crafted as your projects. We use QuickBooks Online to its fullest potential, providing bookkeeping services that address the specific operational and financial workflows of a successful remodeler.

Detailed Job Costing: This is the cornerstone of a profitable remodeling business. We move beyond a simple Profit & Loss statement to provide you with detailed job costing reports. We meticulously track all direct and indirect costs for each project—from lumber and fixtures to subcontractor payments and permit fees. You'll know the exact profitability of every single job, empowering you to create more accurate, competitive bids for future work.
Cash Flow Management & Forecasting: Say goodbye to cash flow crunches. We help you manage client draws, progress billing, and retainage to ensure a healthy flow of capital. By forecasting your income and expenses, we help you anticipate shortfalls and make confident decisions about when to take on new projects or invest in new equipment.
Change Order Financial Tracking: Don't let unbilled work erase your profits. We establish a clear process for tracking every change order financially. From client approval to final invoicing, we ensure that all additional labor and materials are properly documented and billed, so you get paid for the full scope of your work.
Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation: We reconcile all your accounts to ensure every single transaction is accounted for and categorized correctly. This includes tracking every purchase from Home Depot, your local lumber yard, and specialty suppliers, assigning each cost to the appropriate job.
Financial Reporting & Analysis: Receive clear, easy-to-understand financial reports monthly. We provide standard reports like the P&L and Balance Sheet, alongside custom reports tailored for remodelers, such as Job Profitability, Budget vs. Actual, and Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules.

Common Financial Challenges for Remodelers

(And How We Solve Them)

"I'm busy, but am I actually profitable?"

You complete a beautiful, complex remodel, but when the dust settles, you have no clear idea if you made a healthy profit, broke even, or lost money. This makes it impossible to price your next job with confidence.

Our Solution: Our meticulous job costing provides a clear profit and loss report for every project. We give you the historical data you need to understand your true costs and create future bids that guarantee a healthy margin.

"My cash flow is a constant roller coaster"

You’re constantly paying for expensive materials and labor upfront, creating a stressful cash flow gap while you wait for the next client draw. This can halt progress and strain vendor relationships.

Our Solution: We implement strategic cash flow management, helping you structure payment schedules and progress billing to better align your income with your project expenses. Our forecasting helps you see potential shortfalls weeks or months in advance.

"I'm losing money on unbilled changes and small expenses."

A client adds a "small" feature, or you make extra trips to the hardware store. Without a robust system, these costs are never billed to the client, coming directly out of your pocket and silently eating away at your profit margin.

Our Solution: We help you implement a seamless workflow to capture every expense and every single change order. We ensure that your financial records are a true reflection of the project's scope, protecting your profitability.

Why a Specialist Beats a Generalist for Your Remodeling Business

Any bookkeeper can categorize expenses. But a specialist from Kellcat Bookkeeping understands the

business of home remodeling. We know the difference between a draw and a deposit, the importance of tracking retainage, and the compliance requirements for subcontractor payments.

We are Certified Advanced QuickBooks Online ProAdvisors who know how to configure the software specifically for construction, using project and class tracking to deliver the job-costing data you need. A generalist sees transactions; we see the financial story of your project from bid to completion. This industry-specific expertise means you get insights, not just data, helping you build a stronger, more predictable, and more profitable business.

Your Denver Local Advantage

As a firm serving the greater Denver area, we bring a crucial local perspective to your books. We understand the financial landscape of the local remodeling market—from the material costs at regional suppliers to the prevailing rates for top-tier subcontractors in the metro area.

We’re familiar with the various municipal requirements and permit fee structures across Denver, Jefferson, and Arapahoe counties. This local knowledge provides essential context to your financial reports, making Kellcat Bookkeeping not just your bookkeeper, but your local financial partner.

Ready for Financial Clarity on Every Project?

Stop guessing at your profitability and take control of your cash flow. Let us build you a rock-solid financial foundation so you can focus on what you do best: building and remodeling beautiful homes for your clients.

FAQs

How much do bookkeeping services cost for a remodeling business?

Our monthly packages are customized to the needs of your specific remodeling company. Pricing depends on factors like the number of projects you run concurrently, your monthly transaction volume (materials, payroll, subcontractor payments), and the complexity of your books. We typically find our remodeling clients fall into a range of $500 - $1,500+ per month. The best way to get an accurate quote is to schedule a free, no-obligation diagnostic review. We'll assess your current books and provide a flat-rate monthly price so you always have predictable bookkeeping costs.

I already use QuickBooks Online. Why do I need a specialized bookkeeper?

QuickBooks Online is a powerful tool, but its real value for a remodeler comes from how it's set up and used. A general bookkeeper might just categorize your expenses. We, as Certified Advanced QuickBooks Online ProAdvisors specializing in construction, will configure your account for true job costing. This means setting up your Chart of Accounts, Products & Services, and customer fields to track income and every single cost—labor, materials, and subcontractor fees—to each specific job. This gives you the profitability reports you need to make critical business decisions, something a generic setup simply can't provide.

What does the onboarding process look like if I decide to work with you?

Getting started is straightforward. The first step is our complimentary consultation and diagnostic review of your existing books. Once you decide to move forward, we’ll securely get access to your accounts and begin our historical clean-up process if needed, ensuring your books are accurate and reconciled to date. We'll then optimize your QuickBooks Online file for job costing and establish a simple, streamlined workflow for you to send us receipts and documents. We handle all the data entry and reconciliation from there, so you can get back to managing your projects.
