Roofing · Florida
Roofing bookkeeping that separates insurance work from retail work.
Roofing carries three problems at once: two revenue streams with different margins, subcontractor costs that never tie back to a job, and a schedule the weather controls.

Roofing bookkeeping for Florida contractors
Florida is a storm state, so a large share of roofing work here is insurance-driven — hail and wind claims that surge after a storm and are paid by carriers on their own timeline. Insurance work and retail work are two businesses with two collection cycles, and books that do not separate them cannot tell you which one is actually making money.
We do monthly roofing bookkeeping for contractors running insurance restoration work, retail replacement work, or both. Every transaction categorized, accounts reconciled monthly, and a US CPA review and sign-off before anything reaches you.
Roofing accounting has a problem most trades do not: two revenue streams with genuinely different margins that get reported as one number. A roofing bookkeeper who knows the trade splits insurance from retail, ties subcontractor cost back to the individual job, and builds books that reflect a schedule the weather controls.
What is different in Florida
Florida makes this trade harder than average.
Season and demand
Year-round cooling demand rather than a seasonal peak, which smooths HVAC revenue relative to northern states. Hurricane season drives concentrated surges in roofing work and a corresponding surge in insurance restoration.
The market
Heavy insurance restoration volume, particularly in roofing, alongside a large retail replacement market. The split between insurance and retail work matters more here than almost anywhere else.
Tax and entity context
Florida levies no personal state income tax, so for most owner-operators the state-level individual filing burden is minimal. Sales and use tax treatment of contracting work is its own topic and worth getting right from the start.
We work with roofing contractors throughout Florida, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale.
What we build into your books
The three things that change first.
Insurance versus retail, separated
Two margins, tracked apart. It usually changes where the marketing money goes.
Subcontractor cost per job
What went out to subs, measured against what came in on that job. The jobs that do not work stop being invisible.
Weather-driven cash flow
Books that reflect a rained-out month, so a bad stretch is something you planned for rather than something you discover.

No card, no contract, and the work is yours to keep either way.
