From implementing sophisticated job costing to managing banking relationships and bonding capacity, Whyte CPA serves as your complete construction accounting department without the $150,000+ annual cost of hiring full-time staff.
Whyte CPA delivers comprehensive construction accounting for Phoenix contractors—from implementing job costing systems and managing bonding capacity to providing fractional CFO services that help HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general contractors scale profitably beyond owner-operator limitations.
We don't just provide one service—we serve as your complete accounting department. This includes monthly bookkeeping with job costing, construction payroll with prevailing wage compliance, proactive tax planning and filing, CFO-level strategy sessions, banking relationship management, and bonding company liaison work.
We exclusively serve construction contractors in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Scottsdale—understanding Arizona's unique construction environment. This includes ROC licensing accounting requirements, managing prevailing wage compliance on city and state projects, navigating multi-jurisdiction taxation across Maricopa County municipalities, and understanding seasonal patterns that impact Phoenix contractors (summer slowdowns, winter peak demand, monsoon project delays).
Scaling contractors typically believe they need to hire bookkeepers, payroll administrators, and eventually a controller or CFO—roles that cost $60,000-$150,000 annually each plus benefits, training, and management overhead. Our comprehensive construction accounting service delivers all these functions for $2,500-$7,500 monthly depending on company size—a fraction of employee costs while providing specialized construction expertise internal hires rarely possess.

Phoenix contractors attempting to scale beyond $2-3 million hit a wall without robust job costing systems. We implement construction accounting infrastructure that tracks costs to individual projects, phases, and cost categories—revealing true project profitability, improving estimating accuracy through historical data analysis, and identifying profitable niches worth expanding versus unprofitable work worth abandoning.
Scaling construction companies face cash flow challenges generic businesses never encounter: retention holdbacks tying up 5-10% of revenue for months, progress billing cycles that lag cost accumulation, and upfront mobilization costs on larger projects. We implement cash flow forecasting specific to construction cycles, optimize billing schedules to accelerate payment timing, manage retention tracking so money isn't forgotten, and prepare financials that banks and bonding companies actually trust.
Growing beyond owner-operator status requires executive-level financial leadership most contractors can't afford to hire full-time. We provide fractional CFO services: monthly financial review meetings analyzing profitability trends, strategic planning for equipment investments and hiring decisions, estimating review to improve bid accuracy, banking relationship management for equipment financing, and long-term succession planning for eventual exit.
