Contractor statements and WIP schedules for your surety and CPA
Finbryn provides job costing, work-in-progress schedules and year-end statements for contractors whose surety wants CPA-compiled or CPA-reviewed financials, reconciled monthly for the independent CPA you engage. The CPA's report, not our preparation, sets the level your surety sees. SBA SOP 50 45 4 (effective 2024-11-21) shows one program's tiers.
What is included
- Job cost ledger with change orders and retainage posted by contract
- Monthly work-in-progress schedule with percent complete and over or under billing
- Interim and year-end statements prepared for your surety and your CPA
- Aged receivable and payable schedules
- Trial balance and job files organized for the independent CPA practice
The process
- 1.
Read what your surety asked for
We work from your agent's written request: statement level, interim dates and WIP format.
- 2.
Set up job costing
Each contract gets a job code, and costs, change orders and retainage post to it from the first invoice.
- 3.
Reconcile every month
Cash, receivables, payables, debt and job cost accounts tie to the ledger before the WIP schedule is updated.
- 4.
Update the WIP schedule
You send estimates to complete; we recompute percent complete, earned revenue and over or under billing for each job.
- 5.
Prepare interim and year-end statements
Statements and WIP schedules prepared for your surety and your CPA. We give no assurance on them.
- 6.
Hand the file to your CPA practice
We organize the trial balance, schedules and job files in the order the practice requests. You engage the practice directly.
- 7.
CPA signs, you submit
The independent practice signs its own report. You send it and the WIP schedule to your agent.

Pricing
