Bonding-ready financial statements, WIP schedules and job costing for Fulton County contractors bidding commercial, institutional and public work across Atlanta and the north Fulton corridor.
Free 30-Minute ConsultationFulton is the most populous county in Georgia and holds the largest concentration of commercial construction activity in the state. Interior build-outs and high-rise work downtown and in Midtown, redevelopment along the BeltLine corridor, aviation and logistics work around Hartsfield-Jackson, and a north Fulton market in Alpharetta, Roswell and Sandy Springs that keeps producing office, medical and upper-end residential projects.
What makes Fulton different from a purely residential county is the share of work running through public agencies, authorities and institutional owners. That work is bonded almost without exception, and bonding turns your financial statements into a gating item. Contractors here routinely discover that the constraint on growth is not crew capacity or pipeline, it is a balance sheet a surety underwriter will not support at the size they want to bid.
That is the problem this practice was built to solve. We prepare financial statements structured the way underwriters actually read them, maintain a WIP schedule that ties to the general ledger, and manage working capital and equity toward the ratios that expand bonding capacity on a deliberate schedule rather than by accident.
One thing worth being explicit about: the work is delivered by a licensed CPA firm. Plenty of bookkeeping services will code your Fulton County job costs. Far fewer can issue the CPA-prepared financial statements a surety underwriter or a bank will actually accept, sign a tax return that takes an aggressive but defensible position on equipment depreciation, or represent you if the IRS or the Georgia Department of Revenue asks a question. Xtrategist does construction accounting as a construction CPA firm, and for a contractor those two things are not interchangeable.
Project-level reporting that shows which Fulton County jobs actually make money, with WIP schedule built to the standard surety underwriters expect.
CPA-prepared financial statements structured the way underwriters read them, so you can grow bonding capacity and bid larger public and commercial work.
