Lighthouse Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping for HVAC Businesses

Maintenance income, installation work, and seasonal activity need dependable records. We support your QuickBooks Online bookkeeping so the financial information is easier to review.

Maintenance and Installation Revenue

Different service lines can create different billing rhythms. We help organize the income records around your actual work and the reporting included in your plan.

Documented Job Spending

Materials, subcontractors, and operating expenses should be recorded consistently. Parts inventory operations are outside the core scope presented here; we assess fit where they are a material part of your needs.

Busy Seasons and Payment Timing

A busy schedule can still include slow-paying invoices. Reconciled accounts and receivables reporting help make payment timing visible.

How We Work Together

We begin with a consultation, review your QuickBooks Online setup, and agree on the services. You share statements and supporting records through the process we establish together and answer transaction questions. We complete the bookkeeping and reports included in your plan.

Choose Ongoing Support or Start With Cleanup

If the books are current, we can discuss a monthly routine. If prior periods are incomplete or balances are unclear, cleanup is reviewed and quoted separately. Invoice and bill support can be added to a clear service plan.

Record-Keeping Details HVAC Businesses Often Need to Track

HVAC companies handle maintenance agreements, installation jobs, parts orders and busy seasons that can generate many invoices at once. Clear records keep that activity understandable.

Maintenance agreements and installation jobs

Recurring service work and larger installation jobs behave differently. Recording them so they can be told apart helps you review each on its own terms.

Parts, equipment and supplier invoices

Supplier invoices are easier to match to the work they supported when the job or customer is noted at the time of recording.

Busy seasons and payment timing

When many jobs close at once, open invoices can pile up. Keeping the books current each month keeps unpaid balances visible.

Vehicles, tools and overhead

Trucks, tools, insurance and office costs support the whole business. Recording them consistently makes reports comparable month to month.

Questions About Working With Lighthouse

Can you catch up older records?

We can review historical periods and quote the work based on the documents and condition of the books.

Is industry-specific reporting included?

We discuss the tracking you need and confirm whether your software, records, and engagement support it. Additional reporting is not automatically included in every plan.

Can you separate service revenue from installation revenue?

That is a reasonable thing to discuss. The level of tracking depends on your setup and subscription, and we confirm what is included before work starts.

What if my parts costs are spread across many suppliers?

We record each supplier invoice from your documents and ask questions when something is unclear, so costs end up in the right place.

Do you help with unpaid customer invoices?

Optional invoice and bill support can add organization around open customer balances and agreed follow-ups. We confirm scope before adding it.

Can I see my reports anytime?

Your records live in QuickBooks Online, and the reports in your plan are prepared from them. We explain how you will review and receive them during setup.
