Meet Your Construction Business CPA in California
Construction is a complex industry. Between shifting project timelines, overlooked tax credits, and the ongoing management of contractors, your bookkeeping and tax preparation can become complicated fast.
That’s where we come in.
You handle the pressure of active projects. You coordinate contractors and crews. You manage the day-to-day operations of your construction business. But how often do you review whether your business is keeping every dollar it should?
As an experienced construction business CPA in San Francisco, we help contractors identify missed opportunities, improve tax strategy, and strengthen profitability. With every construction business we’ve worked with, we’ve uncovered ways to add more profit back into the company, year after year.
Let’s make things happen for you.
You Can't Afford To Not Have a Construction CPA in California
Here at Basta & Company, we’re not just here to help you pay as little tax as legally possible. We’re here to help your construction business run more profitably. Here are just a few of the ways we put more money in your pocket.
R&D Tax Credit
As a construction business, you’re always pushing the boundaries of innovation. That’s why – depending on your size and type of construction – your business can likely save anywhere from $10,000 to $5 million through what’s known as the R&D Tax Credit.
At Basta & Company, we help construction companies maximize eligible tax credits at state and federal level in order to put more money back into their businesses.
Track Profit per Project
In the construction world, revenue and businesses expenses should be tracked per project – not as a whole. Otherwise, how do you know which projects are making the most money for your business?
At Basta & Company, we have a system to help you break down and track the Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet per project, so you know exactly how your business is doing inch-by-inch.
Avoid Hiring Risk
Hiring contractors in any state is risky. Hiring contractors in San Francisco, California can be doubly hazardous. Due to the relatively new labor law, AB5, your business has to prove its hires are sub-contractors, rather than employees. And it has to be in writing!
Navigate the complexities of sub-contractor vs. employee labor laws, and put the proper documentation in place to mitigate audit risk.
You do not need to know exactly what service you need before reaching out! Let’s talk.

Your Contact Information
Still not sure what you need?
We will help you identify the gap, prioritize the next step, and make sure you are getting the right support for where your business is now.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with startups, small-to-mid-size businesses, and scaling companies in construction, architecture, and interior design — primarily across San Francisco, the Bay Area, and California. We tailor every engagement to the size, stage, and industry of your business. Have a different industry? We work with select businesses on a case-by-case basis. Reach out and let’s talk.
Do you help with both personal and business taxes?
Yes. Many of our clients are San Francisco business owners whose personal and business finances are closely linked. We provide integrated California tax planning and preparation for both, ensuring your overall tax strategy is aligned and optimized.
Can you help reduce our tax liability legally?
Absolutely. Proactive tax strategy, not just annual filing, is one of our core services. We identify legal deductions, tax credits, and planning opportunities throughout the year so you never pay more than you legally owe.
Do you offer ongoing support or one-time services?
Both. We offer monthly retainer engagements for bookkeeping, CFO advisory, and tax management, as well as project-based engagements for tax preparation, audits, or financial reviews. Most clients find ongoing support delivers the most value.
How do you work with new businesses or startups?
We love working with founders from day one. We help new businesses choose the right entity structure, set up their accounting systems, build financial models, and create a tax strategy before revenue even begins, so you start with the right financial foundation.
