Contractor In Charge is an operational support provider for home service contractors, with a listed location of Tampa, FL 33602. The firm describes itself as a partner for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home service businesses, offering bookkeeping, accounting, and fractional CFO services alongside call center and lead management services. Its stated aim is to provide financial clarity and operational support without the business adding internal staff.
Services
Within its accounting line, Contractor In Charge offers full-service bookkeeping for home services, fractional CFO services, QuickBooks Online services, and QuickBooks Desktop to Online conversions. The firm describes an outsourced, fractional model that provides access to bookkeepers, staff accountants, controllers, and CFO-level expertise as needed.
The listed bookkeeping services include daily and monthly transaction categorization, accounts payable and vendor management, accounts receivable and progress billing support, payroll coordination and labor cost tracking, bank and credit card reconciliations, expense tracking by job, crew, and category, financial statement preparation covering profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow, and software setup and optimization for tools including QuickBooks and Xero.
The firm also describes job costing systems intended to track labor, materials, and overhead per project, and fractional CFO services covering financial forecasting and cash flow planning, budget creation and monitoring, profitability analysis by job, service, or division, growth and scaling guidance, hiring and expansion readiness assessments, pricing strategy, and debt and capital planning support. Controller services and staff accountant support are listed as additional levels of support.
Beyond accounting, the firm provides services described as 24/7 live agent call center coverage, inbound call handling and appointment booking, after-hours and emergency call handling, outbound scheduling and follow-up, and AI-assisted digital lead management. It also lists business systems and software optimization, including ServiceTitan implementation and optimization, FSM software and optimization, pricebook membership and inventory optimization, and accounting and FSM integration. The firm presents these operational services and its accounting services as parts of a single back-office offering, and states that clients can select as little or as much support as they want.
Who They Serve
The firm states that it works with contracting and trades businesses, listing general contractors, HVAC contractors, plumbing contractors, electrical contractors, roofing companies, remodeling and renovation contractors, landscaping and outdoor services, and specialty trade contractors. According to the firm, its model adapts to a business’s size, structure, and goals, supporting contractors from startup stage through established operations.
Approach and Tools
Contractor In Charge frames its services around the financial complexities specific to contracting, including job costing, retainage, progress billing, seasonal cash flow, labor fluctuations, equipment depreciation, and compliance. The firm states that contractors face challenges general accountants often do not understand, and that without accurate financial systems contractors can experience unclear job profitability, cash flow shortages despite strong sales, overpaying taxes or missing deductions, delayed invoicing and collections, and difficulty forecasting growth. The firm describes its engagements as flexible and fractional, with no long-term contracts, stating that clients pay for the time and expertise they need rather than hiring full-time staff. It references platforms such as ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and QuickBooks in the context of workflows, integrations, and oversight for service businesses, and emphasizes that software delivers value only when set up and used with the right processes.
The firm presents its work as turning financial data into usable insight, stating that it explains what financial statements mean rather than only delivering reports. Several testimonials on the site reference both the bookkeeping and accounting work and the call center and dispatch services.
