BIG UPDATES for Contractors + Trades 📣

(You’re gonna want to read this… 👇)

We’re officially headed into 1099 + Tax Season.

And if your books are still a little… 🤷‍♂️
Let’s just say: Now’s the time to clean it up.

Here’s what to do before the year ends:
🔧 Start collecting W9s
🔧 Organize your receipts
🔧 Check your payroll setup
🔧 Review what you’ve made + what you’ve spent
🔧 Book a call with us

We work specifically with contractors, trades, and construction business owners. 🛠️
So we know how chaotic year-end can get when you’re still trying to finish jobs and keep clients happy.

Don’t wait until January to get your books in shape.

We’re taking on a limited number of year-end cleanups + tax prep clients.
Let’s get you on the calendar before it fills up.

Still stuck in the “just keep the books clean” mindset. 🙃

This post breaks down the quiet signs you’ve outgrown your current setup, and what to do if your finances aren’t helping you scale.

📉 If you’re asking questions your accountant can’t answer…

🚧 If your construction business is leveling up…

It might be time to bring in a team that can grow with you.

✨ At Upper Left, we help contractors + trades move from scrambling to strategic, with real-time insights, job profitability clarity, and financial systems that actually support your operations.

Let’s talk payroll. 💸

Meet the humans behind the spreadsheets and screens 👷‍♂️👋

We’re Upper Left Accounting, and we help construction business owners get their finances dialed in, so you can stop guessing, start growing, and finally feel like someone’s actually got your back.

We get it. You didn’t start your business to learn QuickBooks on YouTube at 10pm. But when you’re juggling bids, clients, payroll, and receipts stuffed in your truck’s center console… staying on top of your finances can feel impossible.

We’re not just number nerds. We’re construction-savvy, system-obsessed, and growth-driven. And we actually care about helping you build a business that works for you, not one that runs you ragged.

Led by our founder Jolene...part profit strategist, part puzzle-solver, and part horse-riding, beach-chilling, spreadsheet-loving badass, our team brings strategy and clarity to your numbers.

She’s been deep in the accounting world for 15+ years, but what really sets her apart is how she thinks like a builder. She sees the moving pieces of your business, catches the blindspots, and creates a plan to get you where you want to go (with fewer surprises come tax time).

…this checklist is for you.

We created a simple, straightforward bookkeeping checklist to help you:

🧾 Stay on top of your monthly bookkeeping tasks

Not sure whether to bring on your next team member as a 1099 contractor or a W2 employee?
You’re definitely not the only one.

This is one of the most common questions we get from business owners, especially in the trades, and the answer?
It depends (sorry, we know 😅).

But here’s the good news:
We created a free guide that walks you through exactly what you need to know so you can make the right choice for your business.

Inside you’ll learn:
🔍 The key differences between 1099 and W2 workers
📋 What the IRS actually cares about (and what you can’t ignore)
💸 How each option affects your taxes, liability, and payroll costs
🚧 Real-world tips for contractors and construction business owners

This guide could save you from a lot of stress (and maybe a future audit 😬).

Ever feel like you’re making decent money but still wondering where it all went?
Like… on paper, your business looks great...but in real life, you’re stressing over cash every month?

Yup. We’ve seen it too many times to count.

Cash flow stress isn’t just about not having enough money.
It’s the constant wondering if you’ll be able to pay bills next month.
It’s the late-night math trying to figure out where all your revenue went.
It’s the panic when a big expense hits and you didn’t see it coming.

And this is why we made a free Cash Flow Tips Guide to help you get ahead of it.

It’s packed with the exact tips we give our clients to:
💸 Actually understand your cash flow
💸 Plan for what’s coming, not just react to surprises
💸 Start paying yourself without crossing your fingers first

We kept it simple. No fluff. Just real tips that actually make a difference!

Grab it here → https://link.marketeerplus.co/widget/form/j2mhgohUs1fkFQjCeQVN

Then take a deep breath...because this is your first step toward more peace of mind and less financial chaos.
