Bookkeeping 4 Construction LLC #
Website: https://www.constructionbookkeepersite.com
Phone: 904-576-6161
Bookkeeping 4 Construction LLC is a Jacksonville, Florida bookkeeping practice that provides general and construction-focused bookkeeping services. According to its website, the firm works to keep clients’ QuickBooks Online (QBO) and JobTread accounts accurate, integrated, and ready to deliver financial and job-costing insights. The practice positions itself around helping small construction and contractor businesses gain clarity on both overall business performance and the financial health of individual jobs.
The practice is operated by Ola Iyewarun, who is described on the site as a Certified Bookkeeper, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and Project Management Professional (PMP). The site notes a prior career focused on solving complex problems, and states that this same discipline and precision is now applied to bookkeeping work. The firm describes its approach as a blend of operational discipline and financial expertise, with the stated aim of helping client businesses stay organized, profitable, and on track. It also notes that it works with only a select number of clients in order to offer individualized support.
The services are organized into three areas, each with stated pricing ranges grounded in the firm’s own materials. The first, QBO Setup and Basic Bookkeeping, covers setup of a new QBO subscription, income and expense transaction recording, reconciliation of bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts, and month-end and year-end reporting. The firm notes this service requires a QBO Solopreneur or Simple Start subscription, that pricing is based on the number of transactions, and that the price range is $500 to $1,000 per month.
The second area, QBO Inspection and Cleanup, is described as a short-term service. It includes a financial inspection of the books to identify problems and recommend solutions, followed by cleanup of the books. The firm states this work typically runs four to eight weeks in duration, that pricing is based on the number of months requiring cleanup, and that prices range from $2,000 to $5,000.
The third area, Construction Bookkeeping, is described as a long-term service offered through two monthly subscription levels. According to the site, these include QBO and JobTread basic income and expense transaction recording, account reconciliations, financial reports, job costing, work-in-progress (WIP) reporting, and financial analysis. The firm states this service requires QBO Plus or Advanced plus JobTread software subscriptions, that pricing is based on the number of transactions and transaction complexity, and that the price range is $2,000 to $3,000 per month.
The construction emphasis is central to how the practice presents itself. Its name, its specialization in QBO and JobTread integration, and its focus on job costing and WIP reporting all point to a service built for contractors and construction businesses that need to track profitability at the job level. The firm frames accurate, integrated bookkeeping as the foundation for real-time financial and job-costing insight, which it connects to clearer decision-making for the owner. The site states that the firm helps clients gain clarity on both the overall business’s financial health and the financial health of individual jobs, which is the central distinction it draws between general bookkeeping and its construction-specific work.
The practice also distinguishes between short-term and long-term engagements. The inspection and cleanup work is positioned as a finite project to identify problems and bring existing books into order, while the construction bookkeeping subscriptions are described as ongoing monthly arrangements. The basic bookkeeping tier sits between these, offering recurring transaction recording and reconciliation for clients on a lighter QBO subscription. Across all three tiers, the firm ties its pricing to transaction volume, and for construction bookkeeping it adds transaction complexity as a second factor, reflecting the additional job-costing and WIP work involved.
The website includes a contact form for scheduling a consultation, requesting first name, last name, email, and a message. The site lists a Jacksonville, FL location with the ZIP code 32256 and the phone number 904-576-6161. Beyond the named owner and the stated services and pricing, the site does not provide further detail about staff size, founding year, or client volume, and this listing reflects only the information published on the firm’s own website. For businesses in the Jacksonville area seeking construction-oriented bookkeeping built around QuickBooks Online and JobTread, the practice presents a focused, single-bookkeeper service model with defined service tiers.

Tide and Ledger LLC #
Website: https://tideandledger.com
Phone: (727) 609-2319
Tide and Ledger, LLC is a bookkeeping and financial management firm based in Tampa Bay, Florida that works with growing businesses in Jacksonville and across the state on a remote basis. The firm states that bookkeeping is numbers, not geography: it meets clients in the Tampa Bay area in person and serves businesses elsewhere in Florida and nationwide remotely. For a Jacksonville owner, that means the firm operates as an off-site bookkeeping team rather than a local storefront, with its office in the Tampa Bay region and no Jacksonville location indicated on its website.
The practice is run by Andrew and Cassie Murphy, and the firm presents itself as a team rather than a single freelancer. According to its website, Andrew brings project management experience from enterprise IT consulting along with an MBA in strategic finance, while Cassie holds QuickBooks certifications and manages client books daily. The firm describes its staff as Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors and frames its role as building the chart of accounts, cost-tracking structure, and reporting that make QuickBooks useful for a business, rather than simply entering numbers into the software.
Tide and Ledger organizes its work into three service lines. Weekly Bookkeeping covers transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, and payroll processing, with the stated goal of keeping books current and accurate week to week. Managerial Accounting builds on clean books to explain what the numbers mean, including profitability analysis, cash flow forecasting, and budget versus actual reporting. Back-Office Support covers QuickBooks setup and optimization, vendor management, and process cleanup. The firm contrasts this ongoing weekly model with an accountant who delivers a report only once a year.
The onboarding process the firm describes is straightforward. It begins with a free 30-minute call to review a business’s current books and explain where they stand, which the firm says it offers without a sales pitch and will use to tell an owner honestly whether the business is a fit. From there it sets up or cleans up QuickBooks, structures the chart of accounts, and brings the books current. The firm outlines a roughly three-month arc: reconciling and cleaning up the books in the first month, implementing reporting such as profit and loss by service line and cash flow statements in the second month, and giving the owner a clear view of cash flow by the third.
In terms of clientele, the firm lists service companies, professional firms, and owner-operated businesses ranging from about five to fifty employees. It names contractors and trades, specifically construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing, along with professional services and agencies such as healthcare practices, marketing agencies, and consultants, franchise owners including multi-unit operators, and growing owner-operated businesses. The website maintains dedicated industry pages for bookkeeping for contractors, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing companies, as well as franchise owners, which indicates a clear focus on home-service and trades businesses alongside general small-business work.
The firm’s stated emphasis is on visibility and reliability: keeping cash flow visible, tracking costs accurately, and identifying which parts of an operation make money. It says it has worked inside service operations and understands seasonal revenue swings, hiring decisions, equipment purchases, and the difference between a profitable project and a break-even one. Its published client reviews, which the firm presents as a 5.0 Google rating, describe prompt communication, organized processes, and help understanding the numbers; these are the clients’ own statements rather than independent assessments.
A Jacksonville business considering Tide and Ledger should understand the arrangement as a remote engagement with a Tampa Bay firm rather than an in-person local provider. For owners comfortable working remotely, the firm offers weekly bookkeeping, managerial accounting, and back-office support delivered through QuickBooks, with a free initial call as the entry point. It can be reached at (727) 609-2319 or by email at andrew@tideandledger.com, and it states that it will point a prospective client elsewhere if the two are not a good fit.
