Common Questions

Contractors & Trades Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Contractors & Trades is one of our focus areas, and we serve Iowa City and all of Johnson County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Iowa sales- and income-tax-ready records.
Iowa taxes building materials at the 6% state rate plus a local-option tax of up to 1%, and contractors are generally the consumer of those materials — so use tax can apply on out-of-state buys. Your business income flows to Iowa's new flat 3.8% income tax, and the corporate rate is falling toward a flat 5.5%. We keep your job costs and sales/use tax straight. We keep your records ready for every filing.
We're a U.S. bookkeeping firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving Iowa City contractors & trades businesses entirely remotely — a dedicated bookkeeper who knows your industry and Iowa's flat income tax and sales-tax rules, without local overhead.
