Construction Industry

The accounting practices and tax provisions that affect contractors and companies in the construction field are unique. You can’t afford to have your auditor or tax advisor learn a complex industry on your time. Overlooking valuable tax breaks can cost you money, and poor accounting practices can impact your company’s financial stability. Our team of experienced professionals know how to get the job done for contractors, because we’ve done it for more than 60 years.

Our passion for the industry shows in the quality of our work, our knowledge of the industry, and our proactive approach to client service.

Accounting Methods

Our team has decades of experience assisting construction clients in navigating IRC Section 460 to help manage their tax liability through the use of various tax accounting methods available to contractors. These accounting methods include the completed contract (CC) method for qualifying small contractors or qualifying home construction contracts and the percentage-of-completion capitalized cost method (PCCCM) for residential construction contracts, as well as strategic tax-cost allocations to manage taxable gross profit for large contractors that are subject to the percentage-of completion (POC) tax reporting.
