FinTruction builds accounting systems that support decision making, not just compliance.
New York's Wicks Law requires that public construction projects above a certain dollar threshold use separate prime contracts for general construction, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work instead of a single general contractor. For Albany contractors working on government projects, this means accounting must track costs, billings, and retainage for each prime contract separately, and coordinate financial reporting across multiple concurrent contracts on the same project.
OGS and DASNY contracts follow specific state procurement rules including prevailing wage requirements, MWBE participation goals, and detailed progress billing documentation. Payment cycles on state contracts can be longer than private work, making cash flow management critical. Construction accounting for these contracts must track compliance requirements alongside standard job costing to avoid payment delays or audit findings.
Historic preservation projects in Albany often involve federal and state historic tax credits, which require precise documentation of qualified rehabilitation expenditures. Contractors must track costs in categories that align with preservation standards, separate qualified from non-qualified expenses, and maintain records that satisfy both the National Park Service and NYS Historic Preservation Office. Inaccurate cost tracking can disqualify expenses and reduce tax credit value.
WIP (Work in Progress) reporting compares estimated project completion against costs incurred and revenue recognized. For Albany contractors managing a mix of government contracts, private commercial work, and historic renovations — each with different billing cycles and payment timelines — WIP schedules are essential for accurate financial statements, bonding capacity, and cash flow visibility.
Yes. We support Capital Region contractors working on OGS, DASNY, county, and municipal government projects as well as private commercial, residential, and institutional work. Government project accounting requires prevailing wage tracking, Wicks Law compliance, MWBE documentation, and certified payroll, all of which we manage alongside standard construction accounting for private sector work.
