What holds US construction companies back
Construction finance is harder than most: 1099s and lien waivers for subcontractors, retainage held for months, AIA-style pay applications rather than plain invoices, and costs that must be tracked per job.
Zoho Books addresses this by putting the sector's records, money and reporting on one data model, so a job, a customer and an invoice are the same thing everywhere. For construction companies that usually means cost and margin visible per site rather than only at company level, retentions tracked so they are actually collected, and subcontractor payments handled without a parallel spreadsheet.
We configure retainage on progress billing, 1099 tracking with W-9 and insurance certificate records for subcontractors, and sales tax on materials where your state requires it. We configure the platform for the sector rather than handing over a blank tenant and a login.
Our certified Zoho team
Eleven current Zoho certifications held by named consultants, covering Zoho CRM Administration, Zoho Creator Developer at Associate and Professional level, and Zoho People. Tap any certificate to view it in full, and verify our partner status on Zoho’s official directory.
Serving construction companies across the United States
We work with construction companies in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Portland, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta and Denver and every US region. Delivery is remote on ET and PT, with on-site workshops where multi-site operations justify the visit.
Hybrid working made the shared spreadsheet on a server share unworkable, and most US operational systems have been rebuilt in the cloud since. Sector experience means we arrive with the questions already written, which shortens discovery and keeps the fixed quote realistic.
The pages behind this build: Zoho Books, Zoho Projects and Zoho Expense.
Getting Zoho Books for Construction Companies right in the US
Most US finance teams come to us with the same four problems. This is how we handle them in Zoho Books for Construction Companies.
Sales tax by address, not by guess
Rates are calculated from the ship-to address, with Avalara when you collect in several states, and taxable, exempt and resale customers are set up once so every invoice is right.
Nexus you can see coming
Sales are reported by state, so you can see an economic nexus threshold approaching, commonly $100,000 of sales into a state, before you cross it.
1099s ready in January
Contractors are flagged with their W-9 details when they are set up, so 1099-NEC totals are a report on January 31, not a project.
Bank feeds and close
Bank and card feeds reconcile on rules, and a month-end checklist keeps the books ready for your CPA, lenders and investors.
What we build for construction companies
A sector-shaped Zoho deployment, quoted as a fixed price in USD before work starts.
Sector process mapping
Workshops with your operational team to map how construction companies really run, including the workarounds nobody documented.
The right Zoho apps
We deploy Zoho Books with retainage and job costing, Zoho Projects for site-level cost tracking and Zoho Expense for site staff claims, and leave out the modules that would only add license cost and training overhead.
Automating the sector's grind
Cost and margin visible per site rather than only at company level, retentions tracked so they are actually collected, and subcontractor payments handled without a parallel spreadsheet.
US compliance built in
We configure retainage on progress billing, 1099 tracking with W-9 and insurance certificate records for subcontractors, and sales tax on materials where your state requires it.
Reporting the sector runs on
Dashboards built around the numbers construction companies are actually judged on, delivered to inboxes so directors never have to log in to see them.
What US compliance means for Zoho Books for Construction Companies
There is no federal VAT in the United States. Tax work is split between the IRS and up to 46 state tax authorities, and it follows where you have nexus, not where you are based. These are the rules a US setup has to get right.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| Sales and use tax | 45 states and Washington DC levy a statewide sales tax, and many cities and counties add their own. You collect where you have nexus: a physical presence, or economic nexus since the 2018 Wayfair decision, commonly $100,000 of sales into a state. Marketplaces collect for their sellers under marketplace facilitator laws. | Tax calculated from the ship-to address (directly or through Avalara), exemption certificates stored for resale and exempt customers, and a sales tax liability report by state and filing period. |
| Income tax | C corporations pay 21% federal corporate income tax on Form 1120, plus state corporate tax where they have nexus. LLCs and S corporations usually pass income through to their owners. | A chart of accounts that maps to the return, clean entity separation, and 1099 vendors flagged so contractor payments are tracked as they happen. |
| Payroll taxes | Federal income tax withholding, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and federal and state unemployment tax. Form 941 is filed quarterly and W-2s go to employees by January 31. Contractors paid $600 or more get a 1099-NEC by the same date. | Payroll run through a US payroll provider or Zoho Payroll where available, with journals posting to the ledger and employee versus contractor status recorded on every person. |
| Hiring and HR | Form I-9 employment eligibility verification for every new hire, E-Verify in some states, and state-specific rules on paid leave, overtime and final pay. | Onboarding checklists with I-9 deadlines, document tracking, and leave and overtime policies configured by state where you have employees. |
| Privacy and security | No single federal privacy law. California's CCPA (as amended by CPRA) and comprehensive laws in a growing number of states give consumers access, deletion and opt-out rights. HIPAA applies to health data, CAN-SPAM to email and the TCPA to calls and texts. Customers increasingly ask for SOC 2. | Accounts provisioned in Zoho's US data center, role-based access and audit logs, consent and deletion workflows, and a business associate agreement in place before any health data is stored. |
