Bookkeeping Specialist for Roofers


Roofers across Caboolture, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast understand the importance of stability. Every roof you install or repair protects a home or business—and it requires precision, safety, and skill. But while your workmanship keeps clients covered, the financial side of your roofing business often gets left exposed. Missed BAS deadlines, unpaid invoices, inconsistent cash flow, and unorganised records can all weaken your business structure.

The “Bookkeeping for Roofers” image highlights a key message: your trade deserves expert financial support. At Caboolture Bookkeeping, we manage your numbers so you can stay focused on building and repairing roofs—not drowning in paperwork.


1. Why Roofers Need Specialised Bookkeeping

Roofing businesses face unique financial pressures, including:

• Weather-dependent workloads

• High material expenses

• Contractor and subcontractor payments

• Safety gear and equipment costs

• Vehicle and fuel expenses

• Irregular job-based income

Without specialised bookkeeping, these challenges can lead to inaccurate records, lost deductions, and unnecessary financial strain. We help you stay compliant, organised, and profitable year-round.


2. Job Costing Accuracy for Better Quotes & Profits

Every roofing job is different—from small leak repairs to complete reroofs or new builds. Correct job costing ensures you quote confidently and maintain healthy margins.

We track all essentials, including:

• Materials (tiles, metal, membranes, insulation)

• Labour and subcontractors

• Tooling and equipment

• Waste disposal

• Transport and fuel

• Safety compliance expenses

With accurate figures, you gain clearer insight into where your money is going and how to increase your profitability.


3. BAS Preparation & GST Compliance Made Simple

As registered BAS Agents (BAS Agent Number 2622 2700), we take the stress out of your reporting obligations. Many roofing businesses struggle with incorrect GST coding—one small error can mean big trouble.

Our BAS services include:

• Reviewing and coding all transactions

• Preparing and lodging BAS

• Talking to the ATO on your behalf

• Ensuring GST compliance throughout the year

You get peace of mind knowing everything is up-to-date and done right.


4. Payroll Support for Roofing Teams

If you employ roofers, apprentices, or labourers, payroll accuracy is essential to remain compliant and keep your team paid correctly.

We manage:

• Weekly/fortnightly pay runs

• Superannuation

• Timesheets

• Leave entitlements

• Allowances, overtime & industry awards

Your focus stays on the job site—not deciphering payroll rules.


5. Keeping Your Roofing Business Strong

With expert reporting, financial clarity, and ongoing support, you always know where your business stands. At Caboolture Bookkeeping, our mission is simple: help roofers work smarter, not harder.
