Florida market reality

Your revenue mix isn't flat — your accounting shouldn't be either.

Post-hurricane revenue arrives in waves, then dries up. Cash-flow forecasting matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.

What we fix

What Florida roofers usually bring us

01

AOB reform aftermath and slower carrier payouts

02

Peak-season subcontractor labor and burden allocation

03

Sales-tax on repair vs improvement work

04

Financial-responsibility reporting to CILB

Licensing & compliance

Florida licensing note

CILB requires certified and registered roofing contractors to maintain financially responsible officer status. Financial statements and net-worth documentation must be current, accurate, and CPA-friendly.

Contractor Plus Books does not provide legal advice. Licensing rules change — confirm current requirements with your licensing board.

Florida payment mechanics

Florida payment mechanics we track inside your books

Florida construction payment rules shape when your money actually lands. We build the tracking around them so deadlines and held-back cash are visible before they hurt.

Construction lien law (Fla. Stat. Ch. 713)

Lien and notice deadlines are date-driven. We keep job start dates, notice dates and invoice dates in one place so nothing depends on memory.

Notice to Owner timing

Parties without a direct contract with the owner generally must serve a Notice to Owner early in the job. We flag new jobs at setup so your admin team acts in time.

Retainage held on your jobs

Retainage is tracked per job and per contract, not buried in AR, so you can see exactly how much of your profit is still being withheld.

Public vs private work

Public projects follow different bond and payment rules than private ones. We separate them in reporting so the cash forecast reflects reality.

General information only, not legal advice. Statutory deadlines and requirements change — confirm specifics with your construction attorney.

Per-job P&L that includes materials, labor burden, supplements and refunds
