How does the accounting for a framing business handle the costs of materials and labor?

The accounting for a framing business generally divides costs into two main categories: materials and labor.

The cost of materials includes all the materials used in framing, such as wood, nails, and other necessary supplies. These are typically classified as direct materials cost in the cost of goods sold (COGS) section of the balance sheet. The costs are recorded when the materials are used, not when they are purchased.

Labor costs on the other hand, cover the expenses of all employees involved in the construction and assembly process. These are treated as direct labor costs, and are also included in the COGS.

Accurate tracking of these costs allows framing businesses to accurately determine their gross profit margin, manage their budgets more effectively, and identify areas for cost savings. Working with a professional bookkeeper or accountant can help ensure these costs are tracked and documented accurately.

Can a bookkeeping service help me accurately track my project costs and profit margin as a framer?

Bookkeepers can make sure all your financial transactions, including labor, materials, and overhead costs, are accurately recorded and categorized. They can also help generate financial reports, giving you a clear understanding of your profitability per project. With professional bookkeeping, you get a clear snapshot of your financial position at any given moment, allowing you to make informed decisions about your business.

Will I have one point of contact?

Your bookkeeper will be your main point of contact, but at times you might hear from another member of your team. This is usually when your bookkeeper goes on vacation, is sick, or otherwise unavailable.

How much time each month will I have to spend managing my Bench account?

We handle the bookkeeping for you but sometimes we’ll need your input, especially at year-end. On average, expect to spend 15 minutes each month answering questions for your bookkeeper, or uploading supporting docs.
