Client Portal

With hard work, you can make a fortune in construction—but with a simple mistake, you can lose it all. Construction project costs are notoriously hard to project, and errors have both legal and financial consequences. With nearly two decades of experience accounting for construction, we can help your company build structures and practices that will stand the test of time. We understand every regulatory and accounting consideration, so you’ll never be caught off guard.

Construction Accounting & Taxes: It's What We Do

Your profits come from the projects you complete—so why would you take time away from building client relationships to deal with the books? By hiring the experts in accounting for construction, let us take tasks like vendor payment, invoicing, and progress billing off your plate.

Structure Your Business for Tax Efficiency

Tax law is always changing, and it’s essential to stay up-to-date on the latest rules to avoid overpaying. Our experts know every detail of the tax laws that apply to construction and work hard to make sure your business entity is structured in the most efficient way. We also know what mistakes to watch out for and go to great lengths to protect you from costly mistakes.

Understand Your Spending

One of the reasons construction accounting requires specialized knowledge is the length of projects. When you’re working on a contract that lasts months or even years, keeping track of every outflow can pose a real challenge. Basta and Company carefully follows every dollar spent on labor, materials, tools, and more. Our accounting for construction experience gives us the expertise necessary to ensure that all direct and indirect costs are accounted for.

Budget for Project Success

Anyone who has spent time in the construction industry knows that incorrectly budgeting for a job can seriously impact your profitability and reputation with customers. We take everything into account when job costing, from personnel to equipment, to provide the analysis you need to start a project on the right foot. And we provide the budgeting and projection expertise you need to set your company on the path to long-term success.

Who do we work with?

We are dedicated accountants in the construction industry and proud to work with any construction-related business including construction companies, property management firms, developers, architecture and engineering firms.

Three Reasons Why You'll Love Working With Basta & Company

Our Accountants Understand Construction

We’re not just accountants—we’re construction experts, too. We work with residential and commercial contractors, as well as professionals in related trades, like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and more. Our extensive experience in accounting for construction means we know exactly where we can save you money.

Open Communication

Construction isn’t a 9-5 industry. Between project work, planning and update calls with clients, and addressing any emergencies that arise, we know you’re always on the clock. Forget being limited to weekly calls or status updates. We’re always here to answer your questions or simply to brainstorm your business’s next steps.

We Speak Your Language

We understand what you need, and we understand that you need it now. Our accountants understand construction, and we’ll make sure that you understand what we’re up to, too—without dragging you into the nitty-gritty. We’re friendly, personable, and we always work to make sure we’re on the same page.

Samy Basta is such a kind and sweet man, I just love him! Such a pleasure to work with. Samy cares deeply about client education, and takes the time to explain complex tax matters in ways a non-expert (like me) can understand. He is so patient and diligent. I am consistently impressed with his deep knowledge of tax law, and the way he uses that knowledge to save his clients money. This year he showed me how, through some simple tax planning, I could cut $6k off my tax bill. I am so grateful for Samy!

I cannot recommend Samy enough! He helped us with a very challenging 1031 exchange which allowed us to defer our capital gains taxes and purchase a new property. He returns e-mails and phone messages promptly and the best part is that he talks non CPA language to you in order to make sure you understand everything. If I could, I would give him 6 stars!

What a great surprise! We were expecting to pay IRS over $10,000 in additional taxes but we ended up with $4,000 tax credits and paid nothing! Samy is amazing! He knows all the recent tax reforms and patiently explains them to us and applies the relevant tax deductible tools and strategies for our business and personal taxes. We have referred him many of our friends and we heard nothing but great reviews. We are so happy to know him and have him as our valuable resource for our finances.

As a new client I’m delighted to report that my interactions with Basta & Company have been excellent. Though not a complete novice with online forms processing, at 1st I was slightly perplexed by the TaxDome software. Fortunately for me I had phone assistance from Jessica Catinella, who graciously walked me through the process. My uploads, though not correctly labeled, reached Jessica who called and advised me that all went well. I’m grateful for the invaluable assistance I’ve so far received from Basta & Company, and staff!Thank you,John Meloy
