BIBBY & CO. / RHODE ISLAND & SE MASSACHUSETTS
WE KNOW HOW CONSTRUCTION WORKS
Busy doesn't always mean profitable.
Construction companies juggle bids, crews, subs, materials, equipment and retainage across several jobs at once. Revenue can look strong while cash gets tight. Good job-level numbers tell you where the margin went and what to change on the next bid.
We work with GCs, remodelers, site work, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping and other trades across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

HOW WE HELP
What we help keep under control.
We start with the areas that cost contractors the most money when they're wrong.
Cash flow and WIP
Plan around deposits, progress billing, retainage and payroll. A work-in-progress schedule shows over- and under-billing before it becomes a problem.
Payroll and subcontractors
Payroll through Jette Payroll, W-9s collected during the year, and 1099-NEC filings done on time.
Tax and equipment decisions
Timing of truck and equipment purchases, depreciation and entity structure planned before year-end, not after.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers before we get started.
Every situation is different. These are the questions owners ask us most.
Do you work with general contractors and subcontractors?
Yes. We work with general contractors, specialty trades and subcontractors in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, including companies with a mix of W-2 crews and 1099 subs.
Can you set up job costing in QuickBooks?
Yes. We can set up or clean up job costing so labor, materials, subcontractors and equipment land on the right job, and you can compare estimates to actual costs.
Do you handle 1099s for subcontractors?
We help collect W-9s during the year, track payments to subs and prepare 1099-NEC filings, so January isn't a scramble.
Do you work with JobTread or other construction software?
We work with QuickBooks Online and can coordinate with construction management tools like JobTread so your job data and your books agree.
