Boise CPA Services
A profitable bid can still strain cash when materials, subcontractors, and payroll come due before the next progress payment. KAS helps Boise contractors connect job records to business tax filings and financing decisions. We work virtually with owners and their bookkeepers to reconcile costs, billings, and outstanding commitments.

Job Costs, Tax Records, and Cash Flow for Boise Contractors
Include materials tax in the cost of a job
Idaho generally treats contractors improving real property as consumers of the materials they install. Sales or use tax on those materials needs to be considered in the job cost. Businesses that also sell uninstalled goods may have retail sales responsibilities, so we review how each transaction is performed rather than applying one treatment to every invoice. Idaho contractor sales and use tax guidance.
Review owner-supplied materials on public work
A government customer’s exemption does not automatically exempt the contractor’s materials. Idaho specifically addresses use tax when a government agency supplies untaxed materials for a real-property project. Preserve purchasing and transfer records and address the cost in the bid review, rather than discovering an unbudgeted liability after the job is finished. Idaho tax guidance for government construction projects.
Connect progress billing with the remaining work
We compare the original contract, approved changes, costs incurred, estimated costs to finish, customer advances, and unpaid invoices for each job. That schedule supports a useful management forecast and helps explain lender questions. Tax reporting and financial-statement treatment are reviewed for the contract and accounting method; the date of a bank deposit does not answer every recognition question.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
Audits, reviews, and compilations for Idaho clients require Idaho CPA firm registration, which KAS does not hold, so KAS does not accept those engagements.

Boise CPA questions
Does an exempt customer make my construction materials tax-free?
Not automatically. Idaho’s contractor rules address the materials used to improve real property, including work for government customers. We review who purchased the materials, whether tax was paid, and how the materials were used before determining the sales or use tax treatment and the cost to include in the project.
