Accounting that actually works for the trades.
Bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, remodeling, and specialty contractors across Georgia.
We know how your business runs
Trades businesses don’t run on theory. They run on dispatched calls, parts on trucks, technicians clocking in and out, and a stack of invoices that need to go out before Friday. We’ve worked with enough HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and remodeling companies across Georgia to know what your books should look like — and what they usually look like instead.
How SDA helps trades businesses
Job costing set up correctly in QuickBooks Online
Multi-state payroll for crews that cross state lines
Equipment depreciation and Section 179 timing to keep tax bills sane
Sales tax on parts and labor done right
Workers’ comp coordination with pay-as-you-go premiums
Service software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber) integrated with QuickBooks Online
Quarterly reviews focused on labor utilization, gross margin, and cash flow
Can SDA work with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber?
Yes. We work with all of them. We help set up the integration to QuickBooks Online so your job data and accounting actually tie together.
How do I know if my pricing is profitable?
Job costing. We help you set up your books so every job tracks its true cost — labor, materials, subs, overhead allocation — against revenue. Once you can see real gross margin per job and per technician, pricing decisions get a lot easier.
My crews work in multiple states. How does payroll work?
We handle multi-state payroll regularly. Each state where you have a crew working requires withholding, unemployment, and sometimes local registrations. We set those up and keep them current.
What about Section 179 and bonus depreciation for trucks and equipment?
We use those tools strategically. Buying a truck in December isn’t automatically a good idea — it depends on your full picture, your projected income, and your cash position. We can help model the purchase before you buy.
