Bookkeeping for Plumbers in Ontario.

Monthly bookkeeping for plumbing contractors, with HST preparation and filing, basic holdback and subcontractor tracking, payroll available as a $250/month Contractor Bookkeeping add-on or included with Books + Back Office, and separately scoped job coding.

Plumbing books have more layers than most bookkeepers know.

Plumbing businesses in Ontario typically operate across multiple revenue streams at once: emergency service calls that pay the same week, renovation work that runs net-30, and new construction contracts that can take 60-90 days and come with a 10% holdback you can't touch until the job is complete.

Asset purchases are identified and organized for the external accountant. CCA classification, deduction timing, and other income-tax treatment remain with the client and tax adviser.

Moyano & Co. specializes in trades businesses. The monthly engagement organizes the selected records and workflows, with any project coding, payroll, holdback, or T5018 work limited to the written scope.

The financial details that matter for your trade.

Holdback tracking

I provide basic bookkeeping tracking of construction holdbacks using contracts, invoices, and release information supplied or approved by the client. Moyano & Co. does not determine lien rights, legal entitlement, or statutory release dates.

CCA depreciation: van & tools

Asset purchases are identified and organized for the external accountant. CCA classification, deduction timing, and other income-tax treatment remain with the client and tax adviser.

Optional project coding

Basic job or project coding may be separately scoped when the client records support it. Detailed job-profitability, WIP, labour-burden, overhead-allocation, cost-to-complete, and advisory reporting are not included in standard Contractor Bookkeeping or Books + Back Office.

T5018 subcontractor slips

Basic subcontractor payment tracking is included in both monthly services. Contractor Bookkeeping can add annual T5018 preparation and filing for $200/year plus $10 per subcontractor. Books + Back Office includes annual T5018 preparation and filing when applicable and supported by complete client records.

HST filing & Quick Method

We prepare and file HST returns at the agreed filing frequency based on complete records and client approval. Quick Method eligibility, elections, revocations, and tax-planning decisions remain with the client and tax adviser.

Permit cost tracking

Permit fees and other job-related expenses are categorized consistently in the books. Project-level coding can be separately scoped when the records support it.
