Construction & Contractors reconciliation workflow
Construction bookkeeping is complex — progress billing draws, subcontractor payments, material purchases, equipment rentals, and payroll all hit the same bank account in irregular timing that makes manual reconciliation one of the most painful month-end tasks for construction bookkeepers. A general contractor with 5 active projects can have 500+ bank transactions in a busy month. LedgerMatch matches every progress billing deposit, subcontractor payment, and material purchase against your QuickBooks or Xero job cost ledger in under 10 minutes.
Local and industry considerations
- Michigan has a flat 6% corporate income tax and Detroit businesses pay an additional city income tax of 2% — accurate monthly reconciliation supports both filings.
- Progress billing and retainage create a gap between when work is invoiced and when cash is received — accurate bank reconciliation is essential for tracking actual cash position versus accrued receivables.
