Construction Accounting and Tax

Southwest Colorado construction accounting

It's a constant challenge for construction businesses to effectively control costs so they can remain competitive. Partnering with a local Southwest Colorado CPA that’s experienced in all facets of construction accounting and taxation can help you stay on the path to success. Laura E. Hokanson, CPA, CGMA, MSc works with everyone from general contractors, home builders, painters and plumbers to electricians, HVAC companies and other small contractors. I can help you manage cash flow more efficiently through job costing reports and periodic financial statements that keep you informed every step of the way. I'll also develop a tax planning strategy to reduce your tax liability so you can hold on to more of your profits.

You’re welcome to outsource most of your accounting and tax needs to me, but if you prefer to keep some functions in-house, I can train your staff in construction accounting practices and QuickBooks® Premier for Contractors. Call (970) 426-2256 and request a consultation today to learn more.
