Bookkeeping and tax for trade businesses works best when the accountant knows the trade. Every trade business earns money in the field and loses track of it in the books. The work is different from trade to trade. The accounting problems are nearly the same: jobs, crews, trucks, equipment, and sales tax that depends on how the work is sold.
