Accounting for Builders, Contractors & Trade Professionals
Financial Systems Built for Project-Based Construction & Trade Businesses
Construction and trade businesses don’t fail because of poor workmanship—they struggle when project costs aren’t tracked accurately, estimates don’t match reality, and invoices don’t reflect true job profitability.
At Tullis Consulting, we provide construction-focused accounting, bookkeeping, and virtual CFO services designed specifically for builders, contractors, and trade professionals who manage projects, estimates, change orders, and progress billing.
We help you connect your field operations to your financials, so every estimate, invoice, and project tells the real story of your business.
