Bookkeeping for Solar, Security, & Home Systems Installers

Why Home Systems installation books are different

A home systems installation business moves big dollars per job, often financed, sometimes with a recurring service layered on top, and a tax credit changing the customer's real price. That combination breaks simple books fast. Yours need to handle large deposits, lender timing, and recurring revenue all at once.

Large deposits & financing: mind the timing gap

Big-ticket installs usually mean a sizable deposit and a lender paying the balance on a schedule you don't fully control. The cash and the earned revenue rarely line up. We track deposits as future obligations and reconcile lender payouts so a full pipeline never turns into an empty bank account.

Recurring revenue on top of the install

When a job includes monitoring, a service plan, or a subscription — security and smart-home especially — you've got two businesses in one: a high-ticket install and a recurring annuity. We separate them so you can see the true value of each customer over time, not just the sale price on day one.

Tax credits & incentives: keep the revenue clean

Federal and state credits change what your customer actually pays and how the sale is structured, solar especially. Getting the accounting right keeps your revenue clean and your customer's paperwork defensible. We set up your books so incentive-driven pricing doesn't muddy what you actually earned.

Inventory, lead times & warranty reserves

Equipment ordered months ahead ties up cash, and every install carries a future service obligation. We track inventory and cash tied up in undelivered jobs, and help you reserve for warranty and callbacks so a busy install season doesn't become an expensive next year.
