Roofing · Utah
Insurance work and retail work are different businesses. Your books treat them as one.
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 Utah contractors
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 Utah
The Utah context.
Season and demand
A dry continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, so both heating and cooling loads are real. Low humidity keeps some moisture-related work down relative to the south-east.
The market
One of the fastest-growing residential markets in the country along the Wasatch Front, weighted toward new construction rather than replacement — which changes the revenue mix and usually means longer payment cycles than a pure service business.
Tax and entity context
Utah applies a flat personal income tax rate, which keeps owner-level projections straightforward.
We work with roofing contractors throughout Utah, including Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, Ogden and St. George.
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.

In their words.
Roofing
Weather runs my schedule and my cash flow, and I'd never had books that reflected that reality. They set it up so I can see what a rained-out month actually does to me. First time in 12 years I've felt ahead of it instead of behind it.

Roofing
Insurance work versus retail work — completely different margins, and I was lumping it all together. Splitting those out was eye-opening. I've shifted where I spend my marketing money because of it.

I was 8 months behind and had a bank asking for financials for a line of credit I needed. They got me current in time. That's not an exaggeration — that deadline was real and they hit it.
