Construction Focused
Accounting That Doesn’t Crumble Under Pressure
Construction industry's margins are tight and jobs can take time. One missed invoice, and suddenly your profit’s gone. At Tangent, we help construction companies like yours fix the books, forecast costs, and finally get paid what you’re worth.
We Know Construction Accounting Isn’t Just Accounting
Job Costing
We Track the Right Things
Most accountanting firms lump everything into “expenses.” We break it down by job, by phase, by crew—so you actually know what made money and what didn’t.
Progress Invoicing
We Know How You Bill
It doesn't matter if you bill on milestones or percentages, we track what’s earned, what’s still coming, and what’s overdue. Retainage, holdbacks, and draw schedules aren’t new to us—they’re part of the process.
Payroll Timing
We Move With the Crew
Subs on Friday. Crews by Wednesday. We align your payroll with your site realities, so payments go out when they should, and reports stay clean.

At Tangent, we come in like a subcontractor for your finances; quiet, competent, and focused on results. We bring structure to your accounting chaos. That means proper job tracking, reconciliations that match, and numbers that brings clarity.
