Turn Construction Accounting Data Into Better Project Decisions.
Construction accounting is project accounting. Costs are tracked by job and cost code, revenue and cost recognition follow the progress of the work, and reporting has to hold up for lenders, CPAs and owners at the same time.
Bivvit uses the project information your accounting system already produces to review what happened across your completed jobs and help check the next budget.

What construction accounting systems handle
- Job costs
Costs captured against a specific project rather than only against the company, so each job can be evaluated on its own.
- Cost codes
A structured cost breakdown — hard costs by trade, soft costs by type — applied consistently across jobs.
- Vendor expenses
Subcontracts, purchase orders, invoices, retainage and change orders recorded against the job.
- Budget tracking
Committed and incurred cost measured against the original and revised budget.
- WIP
Work-in-progress schedules showing cost to date, cost to complete, percent complete and over- or under-billing.
- Financial reporting
Period statements, job cost reports and the schedules your CPA and lender rely on.
Accounting answers one question well. Builders have four more.
What did we spend?
- Was it good?
- Why did it happen?
- How does it compare?
- What should we change?
Looking for construction accounting services in Seattle?
Bivvit does not provide accounting services. An accounting provider maintains your books and handles bookkeeping, payroll, statements and tax work according to their engagement with you. Bivvit reads the project records that work produces and analyzes how your projects performed.
If you are still choosing a provider, these are practical things to ask about.
- Cost-code consistency
Will the same cost structure be used on every job, so projects can be compared later?
- Project-level reporting
Can you get a job cost report per project, not only company-level statements?
- Reconciled records
Are bank, loan and vendor accounts reconciled on a regular schedule?
- Budget comparisons
Will actual cost be reported against the budget you started with, by category?
- Closeout readiness
At completion, can they produce a final job cost report and tie it to the closing statement?
- Coordination with your tax professional
Will they work with whoever prepares your returns, so the year-end record matches the project record?
Once those records exist, Bivvit's part is the analysis: what each completed project cost, how it compares with your other jobs, and which assumptions in the next budget deserve another look. Bookkeeping, reconciliation and tax filings stay with your accountant.
