Real Estate Portfolio &Construction Accounting
Secure project draws and protect job profitability. We deliver advanced cost-code ledger distributions, manage percentage-of-completion WIP models, and format compliant application submittals.
Managing Job Variance Parameters
Granular Cost Code Job Costing
Construction accounting demands tracing materials, internal labor, and individual subcontractor draws straight to specific operational cost codes. We eliminate generalized tracking errors to safeguard gross profit parameters.
WIP Percentage-of-Completion Calculations
Miscalculating Work-In-Progress metrics leads to severe operational cash-flow and tax liability distortions. We build balanced job-cost matrices that accurately map billing schedules to actual project completion milestones.
AIA G702 & G703 Application Handling
Submitting error-ridden progress invoices halts your cash draws and delays developer clearings. We balance your schedule of values continuously, formatting submittals to streamline project funding loops.

Technical Job Costing FAQ
How does MO Accounting separate over-billings from under-billings on construction WIP statements?
We compute total incurred costs divided by your estimated total project cost to isolate your true completion percentage. Multiplying this percentage by the total contract value establishes your earned revenue baseline. If your progress billing value exceeds earned revenue, it is booked as a current liability ('over-billing'). If earned revenue exceeds progress billing, it is placed as a current asset ('under-billing').
What is the proper accounting process to track subcontractor retainage holdbacks safely?
We deploy dedicated balance sheet contra-accounts: Retainage Payable for your subcontractors and Retainage Receivable for your general draws. When progress billing clears, we withhold the standard 5% or 10% from the operational expense clearing cycle. These balances remain isolated until your project manager signs off on total site completion.
How do you handle Section 460 regulations regarding structural tax methods for long-term construction builders?
Section 460 mandates the Percentage of Completion Method (PCM) for large homebuilders and commercial contractors with average gross receipts crossing $25 million. For smaller contractors beneath this baseline, we often implement the Completed Contract Method (CCM) for tax filings, deferring taxable income positions safely until project completion clears.
