FLORIDA BUSINESS CPA
If you are running a construction & trades business with a growing crew while taking on more responsibility, but still feel unsure about profitability, cash flow, or tax exposure, you have likely outgrown a tax CPA.
Westfront Tax & Accounting works with contractors and subcontractors earning $500K–$5M that want clean financials, predictable tax outcomes, and real insight.
Construction & trades accounting is fundamentally different from generic bookkeeping.
Job costing, retainage, fluctuating labor, subcontractors, equipment, and long project timelines create complexity that generic bookkeeping can't handle.
Construction & trades accounting helps you navigate cash timing gaps between projects and show which jobs actually make you money.

Many contractors & subcontractors assume chaos is just part of their trade. In reality, it is often the result of outgrowing generic bookkeeping and year-end tax preparation.
As revenue grows and projects overlap, financial complexity increases faster than visibility unless the accounting system is built for it.
Cash moves in and out at different speeds across jobs, payroll, materials, and taxes.
Margins look fine at a high level, but problems stay hidden at the job level.
Growth decisions are made based on pressure.
Taxes keep surprising you because you only see them at tax time.
As the business grows, compliance alone is no longer enough.
Real construction & trades accounting is about having the right information at the right time. This is the foundation behind our monthly accounting and advisory services.

How is construction & trades accounting different from generic bookkeeping?
Construction & trades accounting aligns income and expenses with when the work is performed, gives you cash flow visibility, and allocates expenses at the job level. This creates an accurate view of job profitability and helps you better plan and structure cash flow.
Do you only prepare taxes, or do you help with planning throughout the year?
Our clients have access to preferred pricing on their annual tax returns. Our core offer is ongoing accounting and advisory on a monthly basis.
What size and type of construction & trades businesses do you work with?
We work best with contractors and subcontractors earning between $500k and $5M in annual revenue.
My books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes, and this is common. As part of your foundation catchup phase, we first bring you up to date with your financials and taxes before transitioning to an ongoing relationship.
Usually, this phase takes between 2-6 weeks depending on complexity.
I have an internal bookkeeper. Do I still need a CPA?
During early stages you can get by with an internal bookkeeper. As revenue and complexity grow, CPA oversight becomes important to structure the accounting, interpret the numbers, and support tax planning and decision-making.
Do you provide auditing or assurance services?
We do not perform audits or formal assurance services directly due to professional independence requirements.
When a client needs an audit, review, or other assurance engagement, we coordinate with independent CPA firms.
Are you located in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, we are based in Fort Lauderdale. We serve construction & trades businesses locally and statewide through a virtual model.
How often should I meet with my CPA?
Quarterly meetings are the minimum to avoid surprises and stay aligned with business decisions.
