Building Is Hard, Building a Business Is Even Harder

There are not many people who work as hard as those in the construction industry. Long hours, tiresome manual labor, demanding customers, and unreliable subcontractors are everyday hurdles. Excellent planning, scheduling, and estimating are essential to your business. But when it comes to numbers, they should mean more than the interior dimensions of a window, number of spindles on a railing, or the billing rates of your subcontractors. Building a firm financial foundation gives your business structural integrity – helping you manage the day-to-day operations of your business.

The side of your truck says free estimates. At EWH Small Business Accounting we follow the same philosophy. We offer complimentary consultations, where you have the chance to tell us more about the financial challenges you face, and get to know our process and systems as well. We’ll review things like your accounting and bookkeeping setup through QuickBooks™ or Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree). We’ll give you an estimate up front for the work, so there are fewer surprises along the way.

Building Success Beyond the Blueprint

Whether you are a builder, remodeler, landscaper, electrician, plumber, carpenter, or another skilled tradesperson, there are challenges far beyond what you face on the job-site:

  • Ensuring accurate reporting of sales and use tax, guiding through regulatory compliance
  • Streamlining subcontractor invoicing, payments, and year-end 1099 reporting
  • Addressing upfront costs of materials and supplies, optimizing cash flow approval processes
  • Precision in bidding, client budget management, and handling change orders
  • Efficient budgeting and financing for substantial equipment, trucks, and tools

And, in a highly seasonal business, balancing labor shortages, the fluctuation of staffing, and overtime with the cash flow concerns of the slower seasons.

“EWH has provided us with our accounting and payroll services for the last 8 years. We are very happy with the attention and services that they have provided. During 2020-2021 when our business went through a very challenging financial time their support and expertise was critical to help us through! We are thankful for Randy and the team that takes care of us.”

“EWH has been amazing! As small business owners, we were getting rather exhausted with our former accounting firms dropping the ball on items they were supposed to complete, taking forever to get things back to us and the constant lack of communication. We decided to make the move over to EWH and are so happy we did. The transition was smooth, communication has been great and the people we are working with are so wonderful! Liesel has been our accountant and main point of contact from the beginning, and she is truly fantastic! For the first time in years, we feel like we matter and are not just another number.”

“I have been a client of EWH and Debra Kurtz for many years, and I must say that the level of service I have received has been exceptional. Debra and the team at EWH have consistently demonstrated professionalism and provided valuable advice in managing my financials and payroll.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Debra played a crucial role in securing loans and grants for our business, even before we were aware of the available resources. Her proactive approach and timely assistance truly saved our business.

Debra’s commitment to staying informed and up to date with the latest tax regulations and operational best practices have been invaluable to my business. What sets Debra apart is her genuine care and attention to detail when it comes to understanding and monitoring my business. She has gone above and beyond by proactively addressing any anomalies in our data and seeking explanations whenever necessary.

I wholeheartedly recommend EWH to any small business looking for dedicated professionals who truly care about the success of their clients. Thank you, Debra and the EWH team, for your unwavering support and expertise!”
