Job-by-job books for general contractors and specialty trades working across the Phoenix metro — closed by the 15th, every month. Whether your jobs land in central Phoenix, the West Valley, Tempe, or the East Valley, the books still have to run job by job. Our office is in the East Valley at 4320 E Brown Rd, Suite 103, Mesa, AZ 85205. We serve Phoenix as a primary metro service area. There is no Phoenix storefront.
Phoenix contractors do not need another generalist who also books restaurants and SaaS. They need someone who already knows how jobs, draws, retainage, and WIP show up when a bank or bonding agent asks.
Blackline Financial works exclusively with construction businesses — roughly the $1M–$30M band — including general contractors and specialty trades across the Valley: framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, excavation, concrete, site work, and related trades. We do not take restaurants, SaaS, or general small-business bookkeeping.
Construction books have to handle things most industries never see:
When those pieces are missing, the P&L looks fine until a job closes out underwater — or until a lender or surety asks for a WIP schedule nobody can produce. Metro GCs and trades competing for larger contracts feel that pressure first.
See how we work and the full services and packages.
Every Blackline engagement includes a monthly close by the 15th. That means bank and credit-card reconciliations, a P&L and balance sheet you can trust, and QuickBooks Online managed for construction — not a soft "sometime this month" close.
Typical scope for Phoenix-area contractors:
We connect QuickBooks Online to the job tools contractors already use — including Adaptive (we're a preferred partner) and Buildertrend — so estimates, bills, and draws don't live in two disconnected systems. Catch-up work, if your books are behind, is scoped in the DIG Diagnostic as its own project — never quietly folded into the monthly fee.
When the books are clean, owners still need someone who can look forward — cash over the next thirteen weeks, bonding capacity, and which jobs are actually carrying the company.
Blueprint is our fractional CFO advisory: a monthly call, a 13-week cash flow, bonding and lender support, and the KPIs that matter for a growing contractor. It runs alone or paired with Foundation or Frame bookkeeping. For Phoenix metro GCs stepping into larger or bonded work — or running more jobs open at once than the owner can track from a bank balance — that is usually the gap between "books are closed" and "we can decide with confidence."
Full Blueprint scope and what's never included live on the services page.
We don't post a public rate card. Every client is quoted from revenue, job count, software, and complexity — usually within one business day.
| Package | Built for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | About $1M–$3M, 1–5 active jobs | Monthly close by the 15th, reconciliations, P&L and balance sheet, QBO management |
| Frame | About $3M+, 5+ active jobs | Everything in Foundation, plus job costing, a monthly WIP schedule, a CFO Insight Report, and Blackline Command |
| Blueprint | Owners who want forward-looking strategy | Fractional CFO advisory: monthly call, 13-week cash flow, bonding and lender support — alone or paired with Foundation or Frame |
Full detail, add-ons (payroll, software support, AIA/AR automation), and what's never included live on the services page. Systems setup before the first close runs through Groundwork on that same page.
Every engagement starts with a DIG — Discover, Investigate, Guide. We review your books, find gaps (unreconciled accounts, miscoded job costs, missing WIP, catch-up work), and scope the right package before you sign.
Most DIGs take 1–2 weeks. If cleanup is needed, it's quoted as its own project — never folded into the monthly fee.

We serve Phoenix metro contractors as a core service area from our Mesa office. That includes work across Phoenix proper, Tempe, Glendale, and Peoria — and contractors whose crews bounce between those cities in the same month. The East Valley and North Valley cities where we also have dedicated pages:
You do not need a Phoenix office visit for the books to run. QuickBooks Online and a secure portal keep field and office in sync. If you want to meet in person, appointments are at 4320 E Brown Rd, Suite 103, Mesa, AZ 85205. There is no Phoenix storefront.
Statewide framing and the same package table also live on construction bookkeeping in Arizona. Onboarding steps are on Process.
Yes. We serve Phoenix metro contractors remotely through QuickBooks Online and a secure portal, and in person by appointment at our Mesa office (4320 E Brown Rd, Suite 103, Mesa, AZ 85205). No Phoenix storefront — East Valley office, metro-wide service. Call (480) 617-2664 or request a quote.
No. We do not prepare or file tax returns. We keep construction-specific books clean and hand them to your CPA. Arizona TPT and income tax filing stay with your tax pro; we coordinate so the records are ready.
QuickBooks Online is the accounting platform for every client. We connect it to construction job tools such as Adaptive (preferred partner) and Buildertrend when you already run them. Blackline Command is our portal for Frame clients.
Yes. Clean, construction-specific financials and WIP schedules are part of how we close — especially on Frame — so your bank or bonding agent has something they can work from (what bonding agents look for). Blueprint adds fractional CFO support for cash flow and bonding capacity when you want forward-looking help.
Every client is quoted from revenue, job count, software, and complexity — usually within one business day. We don't post a public rate card. Packages are Foundation, Frame, and Blueprint; full scope and what's never included are on Services. Start with a DIG Diagnostic.
