Contractors & Trades Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Contractors & Trades is one of our focus areas, and we serve St. Joseph and all of Buchanan County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Missouri combined sales-tax-ready records.
Missouri's 4.225% state sales tax is one of the lowest in the country, but local add-ons push combined rates toward 8-11%, and contractors owe use tax on materials. In Kansas City and St. Louis, a 1% earnings tax also applies to wages and business net profits. On income, Missouri's rate keeps falling (now 4.7%, headed for 4.5%). We keep your job costs, combined sales tax, and any earnings tax straight. We keep your records ready for every filing.
