Our story
We built this for contractors like you.
The Contractor's Assistant was founded on a simple idea: contractors deserve an associate who actually understands their world — the job sites, the cash flow gaps, the payroll headaches, and the jobs that look profitable until they're not.
Our mission
Most accounting firms treat construction businesses like any other client. We don't. We specialize exclusively in construction accounting because we believe contractors deserve a financial partner who speaks their language, understands their industry, and is invested in their success — not just their tax return.
What we stand for
Our values
Contractor-first
Everything we do is built around the realities of running a contracting business — seasonal cash flow, job-by-job profitability, crew payroll, and the unpredictability of the build.
Plain language
We don't hide behind jargon. We explain your finances in terms that make sense, so you can make confident decisions without needing a finance degree.
Proactive partnership
We don't wait for tax season to show up. We're in your corner year-round — flagging issues early, finding opportunities, and keeping your books clean every month.
Local roots
We're based in Lebanon, Ohio and proud of it. We know the local market, the local contractors, and the local economy — and we're invested in seeing this community grow.
Who we are
Deep expertise, built over decades.
Your Name Here
Founder & Lead Accountant
I've been in construction accounting since 1988 — which means I've seen just about every challenge a contracting business can face. I started The Contractor's Assistant because contractors deserve more than a generalist accountant who learns your industry on the fly. I bring nearly four decades of hands-on experience, including 14 years as a specialist in ComputerEase — the accounting system built specifically for construction — alongside deep proficiency in QuickBooks. I know your world, and I know how to keep your numbers working for you.
