Costs pooled instead of capitalized by lot
Spec builds need costs capitalized to each property until sale. Pooling them wrecks your gross profit per home and your tax position.

Home builder accounting in Bellevue, WA
Whether you build spec or custom, your money is tied up in land, permits, and materials long before a single dollar of revenue lands. We track cost by lot, keep construction draws reconciled, and produce financials your construction lender will accept without a second request.
Why Bellevue home builders work with us
From Medina waterfront custom homes to Bel-Red mid-rise developments, Bellevue construction runs at a level where sloppy books cost real money. We keep them lender-, bonding-, and investor-ready.
We're a Washington-based accounting team specialized in construction and real estate. That means we already know how King County permitting timelines, WA B&O classifications, and local sales tax rates hit the books of home builders — no ramp-up period, no explaining your industry to a generalist.
What goes wrong in home builders' books
Construction draw reconciliation
Draw requests, inspections, and interest reserve draws rarely tie to the general ledger without help. We reconcile every draw to the loan statement monthly.
Multi-entity structures
A builder with a land entity, a construction entity, and an LLC per project needs intercompany transactions handled cleanly. We keep the entities separate and consolidate when you need the full picture.

Home builder accounting FAQs
Can you handle a separate LLC per project?
Yes. We run multi-entity books regularly and can produce both entity-level and consolidated financials.
Do you work with our CPA at tax time?
We do. We don't file federal returns — we deliver tax-ready books and a clean trial balance to your CPA or EA.
Do you meet with clients in Bellevue?
Most of our work is remote, but we're based in the Puget Sound and regularly meet Bellevue-area clients in person when it helps — onboarding, year-end review, or a lender meeting.
