Construction Bookkeeper in Ontario.

Bookkeeping support for Ontario construction businesses, including monthly close, selected HST and payroll administration, and basic holdback and subcontractor-payment tracking.

Construction bookkeeping is a specialty, not a variation of regular bookkeeping.

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.

Moyano & Co. works exclusively with trades and construction businesses in Barrie and Ontario. I built my practice around the specific financial structure of construction, from owner-operators who do their own sub work to mid-size GCs managing six-figure project budgets and a full subcontractor roster.

You get clean, accurate books every month, plus a bookkeeper who actually understands what you're looking at when you read your financial statements.

The obligations most bookkeepers don't know exist.

These are the areas where a general bookkeeper costs you money, and where I add specific value.

Statutory Holdbacks

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.

T5018 Subcontractor Slips

T5018 reporting may apply where the CRA requirements are met. Plus can include year-round payment-data tracking when client records support it; annual preparation and filing are separately selected and quoted.

Basic Job Coding (Separate Scope)

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 Core or Plus.

Construction bookkeeping in Ontario: your questions answered.

Construction records may involve holdbacks, subcontractor payments, payroll, HST, progress invoices, and project coding. Moyano & Co. provides only the bookkeeping and filing-administration services selected in writing; legal, tax, classification, and advisory decisions remain outside standard Core and Plus.

T5018 reporting may apply where the CRA requirements are met. Plus can include year-round payment-data tracking when client records support it; annual preparation and filing are separately selected and quoted.

Yes. I work with every level of the construction payment chain: GCs managing multiple subs and holdbacks in both directions, electricians and plumbers working as subtrades to GCs, and owner-operators who sometimes act as their own GC. The bookkeeping needs are different at each level and I tailor my setup accordingly.

Yes. I'm 100% cloud-based in QuickBooks Online and Xero, with no drop-off appointments and no in-person requirements. I primarily serve Barrie and Simcoe County, but I work with construction businesses throughout Ontario. The Ontario Construction Act, CRA T5018 rules, and HST requirements are province-wide obligations, and that's exactly where my expertise applies.
