Accounting for landscaping businesses
Bookkeeping, taxes, and year-round planning built around how the green industry actually works: seasonal, equipment-heavy, and busiest exactly when you have no time for paperwork.
Free 30-minute call. No pressure.
Landscaping money does not behave like office money
A landscaping company earns most of its money in eight months and spends money in all twelve. The trucks, mowers, and trailers cost as much as cars. The crew grows and shrinks with the season, and the person cutting checks is usually the same person quoting tomorrow’s jobs.
Generic accounting treats all of that like a corner store: money in, money out, file in April. A preparer who does not know the rhythm of this work can report what happened — but reporting is not the same as understanding, and it is understanding that keeps a company out of trouble.
The problems we see every spring
A winter that quietly ate the cash cushion, because nobody planned for four slow months. A truck bought in November that never made it into the books. Subcontractors paid all summer with no W-9s collected, turning January’s 1099s into a scramble. Jobs priced by gut feel, because the real cost of a mow-and-blow route was never on paper.
None of it shows up until it shows up — as a tax bill with no warning, a February payroll that gets tight, or a season of hard work that somehow ends with nothing left over.
What we handle for green industry companies
Bookkeeping that fits a field business: fuel, materials, equipment, and sub labor categorized so your reports say something true about each part of the operation, every month.
Tax preparation with the deadlines of a trade business tracked for you — including the March S-Corp date and the January 1099s for every sub you paid.
Tax planning that looks ahead: what a new mower or truck does to your taxes before you buy it, whether your business structure still fits, and estimated payments that keep up as you grow.
And for a crew that is just going out on its own, startup services that set the company up right from the first transaction.
A Check-In for every season
Every plan includes the Quarterly Check-In — and in this industry, the quarters mean something.
Spring
Before the season ramps up, we look at last year’s real numbers so this year’s jobs are priced on facts, not gut feel.
Summer
Mid-peak, we check whether the busy season is actually profitable — while there is still time to adjust, not after it is over.
Fall
Before December 31, we walk through year-end decisions — equipment timing, estimated payments — inside the window where they still count.
Winter
While the phones are quiet, we plan the year ahead: what to charge, what to buy, and what to set aside.
Who this fits
Lawn maintenance routes. Landscape installation companies. Irrigation contractors. Tree services. Hardscape crews. Owner-operators building toward something bigger. If that is your world and the business brings in roughly $250,000 to $1 million a year, this is built for you.
We are a virtual firm, so it works the same whether you are down the road in Florida or several states away. And we welcome right-fit clients from nearby trades too — construction, roofing, business services, counseling, and content creation. See plans and pricing for how it is packaged.

Questions owners ask us
What does it cost?
Monthly plans start at $350. The exact price depends on how much work your books need and whether you want tax filing and planning included. Our pricing page shows every plan, and we confirm your price before you sign anything.
Is my business too small for this?
Most of our clients bring in between $250,000 and $1 million a year. If you are smaller than that, book a call anyway. We will tell you honestly whether now is the right time, and point you in a useful direction either way.
Do you actually know the landscaping business?
It is our main focus. Our clients run lawn care routes, install and irrigation companies, tree services, and hardscape crews. We know how seasonal cash flow works, how equipment purchases affect taxes, and why a busy month can still feel broke.
What does switching from my current accountant involve?
Less than you might think. Once you decide, we request your records, set up your books, and handle the handoff. Most of the work happens on our side while you keep running your crews.
Do we ever need to meet in person?
No. We are a virtual firm, so everything happens by phone and video. You never lose half a workday driving to an office, and we can work with you in most states.
What is the Quarterly Check-In?
A standing meeting where we walk through your numbers together: what came in, what went out, and what is coming next. You leave knowing where you stand. It is included in every plan, and monthly on our top plan.
