Specialized Bookkeeping for Construction and Real Estate.

Auxilee provides bookkeeping and payroll support for construction companies and real estate investors — businesses where jobs, properties, entities, loans, payroll and project costs can make the books complicated fast. We keep your books clean, current and organized so they're ready when you need them — for tax time, financial reporting, job or property analysis, or simply knowing the numbers are right.

Already have books that need some work? That's okay. We clean those up, too.

Not Every Bookkeeper Understands Your Business.

Maybe you've already been through a bookkeeper or two. Everything looked fine on the surface. The accounts were reconciled. Reports were produced. Then you found out something wasn't right. Real estate and construction bookkeeping require more than knowing QuickBooks. Your bookkeeper needs to understand what the transactions mean and how they should be recorded. A property purchase isn't a normal expense. Loan payments include principal and interest. Repairs and capital improvements aren't the same thing. Multiple entities create another layer of complexity. Construction has its own rules. Job costs, labor, retainage, progress billing, subcontractors and change orders all need to be accounted for correctly. A bookkeeper can reconcile your accounts and still get your books wrong. That's why specialization matters. Auxilee understands the businesses behind the numbers — helping you get it right now instead of discovering problems months or years later.

Two Industries. Two Very Different Sets of Books.

Construction companies and real estate investors may both deal with properties and projects, but their accounting needs are very different. We know the difference.

For Real Estate Investors

Whether you own rentals, flip properties or operate through multiple entities, your bookkeeping needs to reflect what's actually happening across your portfolio. Auxilee understands:

  • Rental properties and property-level accounting
  • Fix-and-flip projects
  • Multiple LLCs and entities
  • Property acquisitions and sales
  • Closing statements
  • Mortgages, hard-money loans and other financing
  • Rehab and project costs
  • Holding costs
  • Repairs vs. capital improvements
  • Owner contributions and distributions
  • Transfers and transactions between entities

Your books should make it easy to see what's happening with each property and entity — without untangling everything at tax time.

For Construction Companies

Construction bookkeeping needs to follow the work. Auxilee understands:

  • Job and project costing
  • Cost codes
  • Labor allocation by job
  • Materials and subcontractor costs
  • Change orders
  • Progress billing
  • Retainage
  • Work in progress (WIP)
  • Payroll
  • 1099 subcontractors
  • Estimated vs. actual project costs

When the books are structured correctly, you have cleaner records for tax time and better information about what happened financially on each job.

Don't find out months or years later that your books weren't done right. Work with a team that understands your industry from the start.

Bookkeeping Support Built Around Your Business

Your bookkeeping should be handled consistently and correctly — without becoming another monthly project for you to manage. Depending on your business and the level of support you need, Auxilee can provide:

Catch-Up & Clean-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your books or not confident they're right? We can review what's there, correct past issues and get your books caught up and ready for accurate ongoing bookkeeping.

Bookkeeping and Payroll Should Work Together.

Payroll isn't just about making sure people get paid. For construction companies, labor is also a major project cost. When payroll and bookkeeping work together, labor can be properly allocated to the jobs where the work actually happened — giving you cleaner job costs and more useful project reporting. For real estate businesses with employees, payroll needs to be recorded correctly across the appropriate business or entity and reflected accurately in the books. Auxilee keeps bookkeeping and payroll connected rather than treating them as two completely separate functions.

One team. Cleaner records. Fewer pieces for you to coordinate.

Need More Than Basic Bookkeeping?

Clean, accurate books are the foundation. But some owners want more than monthly reconciliations and financial statements. Auxilee can take your financial reporting further with management reports built around the information you actually need to run the business. Depending on your needs, that can include:

  • Job or project profitability
  • Property and portfolio performance
  • Budget vs. actual reporting
  • Cash flow reporting
  • Key financial and operating metrics
  • Owner dashboards
  • Customized management reports

Start with clean books. Add deeper reporting when you're ready for it.

Why Choose Auxilee for Bookkeeping & Payroll?

Your Books Are Too Important to Hand to Someone Who Doesn't Understand Your Business.

We Specialize in Construction and Real Estate

These aren't two industries buried in a long list of businesses we serve. They're what we know. Your bookkeeping team understands the transactions, terminology and accounting complexities that come with construction projects, real estate investments, multiple entities and growing portfolios.

We Know How to Clean Up a Mess

If you've already had a bad bookkeeping experience, you're not alone. Auxilee regularly works with businesses whose books need to be caught up, corrected or reorganized before accurate monthly bookkeeping can begin. We can help get things back on track — and keep them there.

Your Bookkeeping Can Grow With You

Maybe today you simply need clean monthly books and payroll. As your business becomes more complex, Auxilee can add management reporting, tax support and other specialized services without forcing you to piece together a completely new back-office team. For construction companies, that can extend beyond the financial side of the business to estimating and project coordination support as well.

One Partner. More of Your Business Covered. Start with what you need. Add support as you grow.

Is Auxilee the Right Bookkeeping Partner for You?

Auxilee could be a good fit if:

  • You've been through a bookkeeper before and aren't confident your books are right.
  • Your bookkeeping is behind and needs to be caught up or cleaned up.
  • You own multiple properties, projects or entities and your books are getting more complicated.
  • You need accurate job, property or entity-level accounting.
  • You're tired of explaining construction or real estate transactions to a general bookkeeper.
  • You need consistent monthly bookkeeping and payroll support.
  • You want clean books ready for tax preparation and year-end reporting.
  • You want the option to add more sophisticated management reporting as your business grows.

We may not be the right fit if:

  • You're simply looking for the lowest-cost bookkeeping option.
  • You only need someone to categorize a few transactions occasionally.
  • You don't want to provide the information and documentation needed to keep the books accurate and current.
  • You're looking for a once-a-year bookkeeping scramble right before tax time rather than properly maintained books throughout the year.

Good bookkeeping isn't just about getting the accounts reconciled. It's about getting them right.

Bookkeeping & Payroll FAQs

Can you clean up books that haven't been done correctly?

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping is a common starting point. We'll review the existing books, identify what needs attention and determine what it will take to get them current and properly organized before moving into ongoing bookkeeping.

How far back can you clean up our books?

That depends on the condition of the books and what needs to be corrected. We'll review your situation first and recommend the appropriate scope.

Do you work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QuickBooks Online is a primary accounting platform for Auxilee.

Can you handle multiple properties or entities?

Yes. That's one of the reasons specialized bookkeeping matters. Auxilee works with real estate businesses that may have multiple properties, projects and entities and helps keep the activity properly organized and recorded.

Can you track construction costs by job?

Yes. Construction bookkeeping can be structured to track costs by job and appropriate cost categories, giving you cleaner project-level financial information.

Can you work with our CPA or tax preparer?

Yes. Properly maintained books make the tax process easier, whether you're using Auxilee's tax support or working with another tax professional.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. Auxilee offers payroll support alongside ongoing bookkeeping.

What reports will we receive?

Monthly bookkeeping typically includes core financial statements. Additional management reporting can be added for businesses that want deeper financial and operational visibility.

Can you tell us whether our current books are right?

We can review your existing books to identify areas that may need cleanup or correction and determine what should happen next.

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your books, transaction volume, number of entities or projects, payroll needs, and the level of ongoing support required. If your books need cleanup first, we'll determine that scope separately before ongoing monthly bookkeeping begins.

Not Sure Your Books Are Right? Let's Take a Look.

Whether your books need cleanup, you're ready for a better bookkeeping partner, or your business has simply become too complex for general bookkeeping, Auxilee can help you figure out the right next step. We'll learn how your business is structured, what you need from your bookkeeping and payroll, and whether anything needs to be corrected before we move forward.
