Who we help · Trades
Every job has its own materials, its own labor, its own subs. We keep the books straight so you know which jobs actually made you money — not just which ones got paid.
Common things we see
Materials, subs, equipment, vehicle costs — every job's true profit shows in your books, not buried in a “miscellaneous” bucket you'll never reconcile.
Anyone you paid $600 or more gets tracked across the year and filed before the deadline. No December scramble chasing a W-9 from someone you used back in May.
Self-employment tax runs 15.3% on top of income tax, so we calculate estimated payments each quarter — no five-figure shock in April. Cash-flow planning built in.
Qualifying trucks and equipment can often be expensed the year you put them to work — through Section 179 or the 100% bonus depreciation that returned in 2025. We run which one actually helps your year.
Calling a worker a 1099 sub when the law says employee is one of the costliest mistakes in the trades. We keep your classifications defensible — and the workers'-comp side lined up.
Trades rarely earn evenly across the year. We map the slow stretches against payroll, estimates, and your own draw so winter doesn't catch you short.
Which package fits
Trade businesses tend to be self-employed or single-LLC operations where the books and the personal return talk to each other. Books + Tax keeps both in one place — same person tracking your job costs all year is the same person filing your Schedule C come spring.
Full-year bookkeeping plus annual tax filing — one person, one bill.
Often paired with
Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping that ties to the business return — the same person watching both, no end-of-year surprises.
ExploreBusiness tax returns
Schedule C, 1120-S, 1065, or 1120 — filed by the same person who kept your books all year.
ExploreTax planning
Year-end planning, S-Corp election analysis, retirement strategy, and owner-pay timing — before the year closes.
