Bookkeeping for Virginia contractors.

• Tax and entity context

  Virginia applies graduated personal income tax rates. Localities also levy a business licence tax based on gross receipts in many jurisdictions, which varies by locality and is worth confirming where you operate.

• Season and demand

  Four distinct seasons with both heating and cooling peaks, and a humid summer that keeps pest control demand high for most of the year.

• The market

  The Northern Virginia corridor carries substantial commercial and government-adjacent work with longer payment cycles, while the rest of the state is a more traditional residential service market. Those two halves behave differently enough to be worth reporting separately.

We work with contractors across Virginia, including Virginia Beach, Arlington, Richmond, Norfolk and Alexandria. Everything runs remotely and through scheduled calls, so where you are in the state makes no difference to how quickly you get answers.

• HVAC

  I was doing books at the kitchen table at 11 at night after a full day of service calls. My wife finally told me it wasn't sustainable. First month ADB took over, they found $12,000 in expenses I'd never categorized right — parts, fuel, the works. I got my evenings back and I found out I'd been underpricing my maintenance agreements for two years.

• HVAC

  In summer we're drowning, in winter we're wondering where the money went. Nobody I'd worked with before understood that rhythm. These guys built the books so I can actually see what my slow months cost me, and now I plan for them instead of panicking in February.

• HVAC

  Honestly I said yes because the first month was free and I figured I'd get what I paid for. Then I got the report back and it was cleaner than anything my last bookkeeper sent me in 5 years. I signed on the same week.
