Bookkeeping for roofing contractors
Material-heavy jobs, storm-driven spikes, and insurance payments that arrive in pieces. Roofing books need to keep all of that straight.
What Harmony sets up for roofing contractors
Job-by-job margin
Shingles, underlayment, dumpsters, and crew labor assigned to each roof, so you see which jobs earn their keep.
Insurance claim jobs
Deductibles, insurer payments, and supplements tracked separately per job, so nothing sits unmatched for months.
Deposits and material orders
Money collected up front recorded properly, so a busy month does not look more profitable than it is.
Crews and subcontractors
Payroll and sub payments separated, with 1099 tracking done as you go.
Seasonal cash planning
A monthly view of what is coming in and going out, so a slow stretch does not catch you off guard.
Storm season can bring a rush of work, a rush of material bills, and payments that lag behind both. Clean books are how you stay ahead of that gap.
A quick example
A $15,000 insurance job. The homeowner pays a $1,000 deductible up front, and the insurer pays $14,000 in two checks. Until the second check arrives, the job shows a balance due from the insurer. Without that tracking, an unmatched deposit can look like extra income. Illustration only.
Common questions
How do you handle a supplement?
It is recorded as an additional amount on the same job, so the total for the roof matches what you eventually collect.
Can you track my sub crews?
Yes. Payments are tracked per sub through the year, so 1099 time is simple.
