Your contracting books reconciled, job by job, with you in command of every correction

A general contractor's books break at job costs first. A single project can carry three or four draws, a stack of change orders, and a dozen sub payments. One deposit coded to the wrong job and your profit-per-job numbers become fiction. By the time you notice, you may be 90 days and hundreds of transactions deep — unable to bid the next job accurately or reconcile with your CPA when the bank balance and the ledger disagree.

• Owner-draw deposits split across jobs lose their cost coding and distort every margin comparison.
• Change orders billed but never recorded leave real revenue sitting uncounted in the bank.
• Sub payments and material runs land in the wrong job or an untracked expense bucket.
• A single miscoded transaction quietly corrupts the margin picture across every job you compare it to.

TeamShift pulls your last 90 days from your accounting file and your connected bank feed, then matches each transaction to a job using your existing chart of accounts and job names. Where a deposit, check, or sub payment does not reconcile cleanly, the operation flags the exception with the proposed correct coding and the reason. You receive a complete, reviewed correction packet — not a changed ledger. Pricing, payment terms, and every job-cost reclassification is gated to you: you approve each line and the operation executes reliably, or you reject it and it waits with a note.

• Sources mapped: bank feed plus your QuickBooks or accounting file over the trailing 90 days.
• Each flagged exception names the suspected job, the proposed code, and the specific reason it was flagged.
• No entry posts until you approve it — your approval triggers the write; nothing runs ahead of it.
• Pricing, payments, and margin reclassifications escalate to you as owner decisions, never auto-applied.

You open one packet, sorted by job, with unreconciled items at the top and a plain-language note on each line. For every flagged transaction you approve, reject, or ask a question. Approved items post with a traceable note; the rest wait for your direction. You finish with confirmed visibility into which jobs cleared, which carry open questions, and exactly what changed. Your bookkeeper or CPA inherits reconciled numbers and a complete audit trail — not a mess to untangle.

• A single job-sorted packet replaces scattered spreadsheets and cross-referencing multiple reports.
• Approve, reject, or flag each correction in one pass — accessible on your phone if needed.
• Every posted change carries a note so your CPA can follow the trail without asking you to reconstruct it.
• You retain final authority on every job-cost decision, including which jobs were profitable and by how much.

Bookkeeping cleanup is a repeat, deadline-driven need for general contractors — the books drift each season and tax deadlines force the reckoning. A page built around the real GC pain, job-cost reconciliation across draws and change orders, answers the specific question that generic small-business bookkeeping copy never reaches. It links to related contractor operations so the topic reinforces itself and earns organic mentions from owners and bookkeepers who recognize the exact draw-and-change-order problem described.

• Bookkeeping cleanup is a repeat, deadline-driven search — seasonal drift makes it recur every quarter.
• Job-cost-specific copy outranks generic small-business bookkeeping pages for contractors searching their exact problem.
• Internal links to monthly summary, quote follow-up, and reconciliation outcomes deepen topical authority.
• Owners and bookkeepers cite and share pages that name the draw and change-order pain precisely.
