Bookkeeping for landscapers · US-based

Bad books cost you deductions.

Most CPAs won't claim an expense they can't back up. We keep your books clean and documented every month — categorized, reconciled, receipts attached — so your CPA can claim everything you're owed, not just what they're comfortable with.

We only work with landscapers. First month's on us so you can see the work. It's $179/month after that.

What we actually do

Every month, without you chasing it.

Categorize every transaction

Fuel, materials, equipment payments, subs, crew expenses — sorted into the right account so your numbers actually mean something.

Reconcile your accounts

Books matched against your bank and card statements, so nothing is missing, duplicated, or quietly wrong.

Document the deductions

Receipts and backup attached to the expenses that need it, so your CPA can claim them without flinching.

Send you the reports

A profit & loss each month and a balance sheet quarterly, in plain English — so you know whether the season is actually paying.

Who you're actually working with

A real person, here in the US, assigned to your books.

You get one bookkeeper — same person every month, US-based, working in your time zone. No support tickets, no offshore call center. You have a clear line for questions about a charge, and you get a straight answer back within one business day.

Same bookkeeper every month

They learn your suppliers, your subs, and how you like things categorized.

Knows the landscaping trade

Seasonal swings, equipment on payments, materials by the yard — no explaining twice.

A clear line for questions

Send a note about a charge, an equipment payment, or a weird deposit. We respond within one business day.

Straight answers, plain English

No accounting jargon you have to translate.

The bill you don't see coming

Messy books are a tax problem, not a paperwork problem.

Your books are probably the last thing you think about. You're bidding jobs, keeping crews moving, and fixing a mower before the first stop. The receipts stay in the truck.

The problem is that most CPAs won't claim an expense they can't back up — and they shouldn't. So bad books mean fewer deductions, and fewer deductions mean more tax. Every fuel stop, material run, and equipment payment that isn't recorded properly is money you hand over for no reason.

Then there's the cleanup itself. CPAs commonly charge $300–600 for every month your books are behind before they've even started your return. At $179/month, keeping them current costs less than fixing them once.

Why it matters

Clean books pay for themselves.

01
You keep more deductions

Documented expenses are claimable expenses. Your CPA stops leaving money on the table because the backup isn't there.

02
You stop flying blind

With reports every month, you know what the season is actually making — and whether you can afford another truck or another crew.

03
It's off your plate for good

Every hour spent digging through fuel receipts is an hour you're not bidding, scheduling, or getting home at a decent time.

WAYS WE CAN HELP

Monthly is the main thing. Cleanups are how some people start.

01
Monthly Bookkeeping

What we do for nearly every client. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, deductions documented, and a P&L monthly and balance sheet quarterly in your inbox — plus a dedicated bookkeeper for your account. $179/month for most companies.

02
One-Time Catch-Up

Behind right now? One flat price based on how far behind you are gets you current — then most owners roll into monthly so it never happens again.

03
Custom for Bigger Operations

Multiple crews, multiple entities, heavy volume, or a full payroll? We still work with you — we just quote one flat monthly number based on what's actually there.

Monthly is what we'd recommend to just about anyone. It's the only option where you know where you stand mid-season — and the only one that guarantees no cleanup bill at tax time.

Who this is for

A clear fit — or an honest no.

Good fit if…
  • You run a landscaping, lawn care, or grounds maintenance company
  • You want a flat monthly bookkeeping price — no hourly surprises
  • You're in the field 30+ hours a week and can't also be the bookkeeper
  • You want your CPA claiming every deduction you've actually earned
  • You want a dedicated bookkeeper, not a support ticket system
Not a good fit if…
  • You're not in landscaping — we only take landscaping companies
  • You're a very large company with multiple entities or divisions
  • You need payroll, invoicing, bill pay, or other accounting services beyond bookkeeping
  • You already have a full-time bookkeeper or controller on staff

The kind of businesses we work with

Landscapers. Only landscapers.

Lawn maintenance, design and build, hardscaping, irrigation, tree and shrub care, grounds management, and snow removal in the off-season.

We picked one trade on purpose. Your bookkeeper already knows what a spring month looks like against a January one, how equipment payments and material buys should land, and where landscaping owners usually lose deductions — so nothing needs explaining twice.
