FrequentlyAsked Questions

What financial services do accountants provide for landscaping businesses?

They offer bookkeeping, job costing per project, payroll and subcontractor handling (including 1099 filings), tax planning for equipment and seasonal revenue, inventory tracking, and reports to support margin analysis and planning.

How do I find a CPA who understands landscaping businesses?

Search Sam’s List and filter for firms that list “landscaping,” “green industry,” or “contractor accounting” expertise. Make sure they’re familiar with relevant software like QuickBooks, Jobber, Aspire, or Service Autopilot.

Do these accountants help with tax deductions for equipment and fleet vehicles?

Yes. Industry-specialized accountants track equipment depreciation, advise on maintenance write-offs, and help you maximize deductions for vehicles, tools, and landscaping investments.

Should I work with a local or virtual accountant for my landscaping business?

Local firms may better understand state licensing and sales tax rules related to services and materials. Virtual firms often offer superior software integration and scalable support. Choose based on your preferred mix of tech and local insight.

When should landscaping businesses hire an accountant?

Ideal moments include before tax season, after purchasing new equipment or vehicles, when hiring crew or subcontractors, or launching recurring service contracts. A strategic accountant helps lock in efficiencies early.

Can an accountant set up job-cost tracking and project gross margin analysis?

Absolutely. With landscaping-focused accounting, your accountant sets up systems to allocate labor, materials, and overhead per project or service type—essential for accurate profitability insights and smarter bidding.

How much does an accountant cost for a landscaping business?

Accountants experienced with landscaping businesses typically charge between $150 and $400 per hour, or offer monthly service packages ranging from $500 to $2,500+, based on job volume, payroll needs, advisory services, and software integration support. Confirm whether the package includes job costing setup, tax planning, and quarterly financial reviews.
