Construction Industry Solutions

Building Success From The Ground Up 

At GBQ, we understand that construction is more than concrete and steel, it's about vision, precision, and turning blueprints into reality. Our accounting for construction professionals help you navigate the complexities of project accounting, cash flow management, and the unique challenges that come with building in an ever-changing market.

From general contractors and specialty trades to home builders and heavy highway contractors, we've spent decades understanding what makes your industry tick. Because when you're managing multiple projects, juggling subcontractors, and keeping an eye on the bottom line, you need construction CPAs and business advisors who speak construction fluently.

Exceeding Construction Company Expectations From Day One

Similar to the projects you encounter, no two engagements are alike, and GBQ's construction services team approaches each job with a fresh perspective to ensure you are able to meet every critical milestone on your way toward empowering the long-term growth of your company. Read on to learn more.

Benefit Plan & 401(k) Audit

If your company offers a benefit plan and 401 (k) to 120 or more employees, your plans need to be audited to ensure compliance with union and multi-employer requirements while supporting workforce retention. Not to mention the fact that you don't have time to waste waiting for paperwork to cross your desk. That's why GBQ works to deliver financial statement drafts within two weeks, attached to Form 5500 for Department of Labor submission, and addresses common delays to ensure timely, reliable reporting.
