Simplified Construction accounting & bookkeeping

The construction business is complicated, and you always have a lot on the go. Running your company can quickly become an administrative nightmare of managing various projects and crews, customer service, percentage of completion accounting, and billing. Bookkeeping quickly takes a back seat because there just aren’t enough hours in the day. 

The construction industry in Alberta is bouncing back, and you want to make sure your company is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities.

Facts

Only 25% of projects come within 10% of their original deadline

Only 31% of all projects come within 10% of the budget 

Nearly half of construction professionals report spending more time than expected on non-optimal activities (like administration)

26% of workers say they are frustrated by the lack of tools that they need to do their job

Up to 30% of initial data created during design and phases is lost by project closeout

A seamless construction accounting and project management system streamlines operations; freeing up your time and empowering you to make more informed decisions. Outsourcing your bookkeeping gives you more time for managing projects and winning proposals; which increases your chances of success.

“Achen Henderson has certainly helped me, enlightened me, in terms of where we’re at… They get it; they understand your troubles and adversities. They are committed to working with you and helping you find solutions – they take a vested interest, and they care. They have helped me focus my thoughts and focus on where I want to take the company.

The overall leadership skills that I’ve developed through working with Achen Henderson has certainly put the company in a much better place. We’ve come such a long way, in just six months, we’ve turned the whole culture and leadership environment around at Element.

If you’re thinking about switching – do it.”
