Bookkeeping for Painting Contractors
Job costing, crew payroll, and material tracking for painting contractors across Canada and the United States.
Majoka Accounting Ltd. provides bookkeeping built for painting contractors: interior and exterior jobs quoted at fixed prices, paint and material costs that vary by job size and surface, and crews paid hourly or by the job. We keep your books current so you always know which jobs are actually hitting their quoted margin.
Introduction
Painting contractors typically quote jobs at a fixed price before work starts, which means any gap between estimated and actual material or labour cost comes straight out of margin. Majoka Accounting Ltd. works with painting contractors to track this gap on every job, not just after a bad quarter.
We support residential and commercial painting contractors across Canada and the United States, including businesses running both interior and exterior work.
Why Bookkeeping Matters for Painting Contractors
Fixed-price quoting means an underestimated job can quietly become a loss, and without job-level cost tracking, it's easy to keep quoting the same way and repeating the mistake. Accurate bookkeeping flags this early.
Clean books also matter for crew payroll compliance, seasonal cash flow planning, and giving your accountant reliable numbers instead of a stack of job estimates at year end.
Common Financial Challenges
Our Bookkeeping Solutions
Quoted vs. Actual Cost Tracking
We track actual material and labour cost against the original quote on every job, so estimating accuracy improves over time.
Interior vs. Exterior Revenue Tracking
We track interior and exterior job revenue separately so you can see which side of the business is more profitable, especially useful for planning around seasonal exterior work.
Crew Payroll
We manage payroll across hourly and per-job pay structures, keeping remittances and year-end slips accurate.
