Material prices moved. Your bids did not. That gap is the whole problem.
Fixed-bid work turns every material swing into margin you never see leaving. Commercial receivables then hold the rest of it hostage for sixty days.

Electrical bookkeeping for Arizona contractors
We provide monthly bookkeeping and accounting for electrical contractors doing residential, commercial and mixed work. Full categorization, monthly reconciliation and close, and a US CPA sign-off on every file.
Electrical contractor accounting lives or dies on two numbers a generic bookkeeper will not surface: what material price movement is quietly costing you on fixed-bid work, and what is sitting in aged receivables on slow-paying commercial jobs. An electrical bookkeeper who knows the trade reports both every month, alongside payroll reconciled across mixed and prevailing wage rates.
What is different in Arizona
The Arizona context.
Season and demand
Extreme summer cooling load and very mild winters produce one of the most lopsided HVAC seasons in the country. The revenue swing between June and January is severe enough that it has to be planned for rather than absorbed.
The market
Fast residential growth across the Phoenix and Tucson corridors. Pest control operates year-round rather than seasonally, which makes route economics and recurring contract retention the dominant numbers in that trade.
Tax and entity context
Arizona applies a flat personal income tax rate, which makes owner-level planning more predictable than in graduated-rate states.
We work with electrical contractors throughout Arizona, including Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale and Chandler.
What we build into your books
The three things that change first.
Material cost exposure on fixed bids
Costs tracked month over month against what you bid, so the squeeze is visible while you can still reprice.
Aged receivables you can actually chase
A standing report of who owes what and how late they are. Owners routinely collect money they had written off.
Payroll across mixed rates
Different rates, overtime, prevailing wage jobs. Handled accurately rather than approximately.

In their words.

Materials pricing has been all over the place the last couple years and I was eating it on fixed-bid work without realizing how bad. Seeing it laid out month-over-month is what finally made me change how I bid.

My daughter was doing the books part-time between her classes and both of us knew it wasn't working. Handing it off wasn't just a business decision, it took a real strain off our family. Should have done it two years earlier.

I do a lot of commercial work where I'm waiting 30-60 days to get paid. I never had a clear picture of what was owed to me at any given moment. Now there's a report that tells me exactly who's late, and I actually chase it. Collected $58,000 I'd basically written off.
