Outsourced controller in Kent for mixed-project contractors
Kent contractors typically run commercial, residential, and service work side by side. That mix breaks most job-costing systems. Controller-level oversight is how you keep margin visible across all three.
Controller-level oversight built for Kent construction
From warehouse and distribution center build-outs to residential subdivisions and tenant improvements, Kent contractors need job costing that handles mixed project types — plus tight monthly reporting because South King County margins don't leave much room.
What our Kent outsourced controller handles
Scoped to how Kent contractors, remodelers, and developers actually build.
Warehouse & TI cost tracking
Per-job P&Ls for warehouse build-outs and tenant improvements across South King County.
Actual vs. estimated monthly
Tight variance reporting because margins are thin — you need to catch drift fast.
Commercial sales tax
Warehouse and TI jobs have specific rules; we keep coding straight so WA excise holds up.
WIP for larger commercial builds
Schedules for lenders and bonding as project size grows.
Sub & 1099 compliance
W-9s, retainage, and January 1099 filing.
Best fit for Kent firms like these
- GCs running commercial + residential in parallel
- Warehouse and TI contractors
- Residential builders in East Hill / West Hill
- Developers doing small multifamily
