Why Choose Specialized Accounting for General Contractors?

WSIB & Compliance

Construction is highly regulated. We monitor your WSIB clearance status and ensure your premiums are calculated correctly based on your insurable earnings, ensuring you remain compliant and audit-ready.

T5018 Reporting

Do you hire other trades? We manage your obligations under the Contract Payment Reporting System (T5018). We track every subcontractor payment throughout the year so your filing is automatic and accurate.

Job Costing & Holdbacks

We help you track expenses per project and manage construction holdbacks. By allocating costs to specific job sites, we ensure you have clear visibility into which projects are driving your profitability.
