Bookkeeping for
Carpenters
Your craft is turning raw lumber into functional art, but profitability in carpentry is measured in more than just board feet. The financial side of your business is a complex project in itself, where a single miscalculation can be costly. Do you know your true profit margin on a custom cabinet build versus a week-long deck installation? Accurately tracking material costs—from the fluctuating price of cedar and oak to the last box of fasteners—is a constant challenge. Add the complexities of managing crew hours for payroll, accounting for change orders, and the ever-present risk of underbidding, and it’s clear that standard bookkeeping isn’t enough. You need a financial partner who understands that precise job costing isn't a luxury; it's the most critical tool in your business, ensuring every cut you make contributes to a healthy bottom line.
Solutions by Sync-Up
At Sync-Up Bookkeeping, we act as the financial foreman for your carpentry business. Our goal is to empower you with financial literacy, helping you see beyond the sawdust to the numbers that drive your success. We implement robust expense tracking and meticulous job costing, providing you with clear reports that show the exact profitability of each project. We can help you manage your significant investment in tools and vehicles through proper asset tracking and depreciation schedules. Sync-Up proactively monitors your financial health, alerting you to trends so you can focus on your craftsmanship, confident that your business is built on a solid foundation. To help you understand what's possible, we've created a guide on the top tax deductions that carpenters often miss. While we are not tax preparers, we meticulously organize your books so that when it’s time to work with your CPA, every potential deduction is identified and accounted for.

The Carpenter's Challenge: Juggling Saws and Spreadsheets

Your expertise is on the job site, not in the back office. You can frame a wall perfectly, but you dread the "paperwork pile" waiting in your truck. It's a constant battle: trying to track faded receipts for materials, figuring out the true cost of that last-minute change order, and making sure your subcontractors are paid accurately and on time. You know you should be doing job costing, but it feels impossible when you're just trying to keep up. This uncertainty leads to guessing on bids, which means you're either leaving money on the table or, worse, barely breaking even on a tough job.
Your Financial Blueprint: Building a Stronger Business

Sync-Up Bookkeeping provides the clarity you've been missing. We digitize and categorize every expense, from lumber to saw blades, so you never miss a deduction. More importantly, we provide you with a clear "Profit and Loss by Job" report. You'll finally see, in plain English, that your deck builds yield a 35% margin while your kitchen remodels are closer to 20%. This isn't just bookkeeping; it's business intelligence. With clean financials, you can confidently apply for that loan for a new F-150 or finally start planning for your business's future.
Focus on Your Craft, We'll Handle the Numbers

Imagine what you could do with an extra 30-45 hours a month. That's time you could spend with your family, scouting bigger projects, or simply enjoying a weekend without the dread of paperwork. With Sync-Up as your partner, you're not just organized; you're in control. Tax season becomes a non-event because we've been preparing for it all year. You can bid with confidence, knowing your numbers are solid. Ultimately, you get to focus on the work that you're passionate about, building a reputation for quality craftsmanship while we ensure the business supporting it is profitable and strong.
