Common Questions

Contractors & Trades Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Contractors & Trades is one of our focus areas, and we serve Detroit and all of Wayne County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Michigan sales-tax and state/city income-tax-ready records.
Michigan has a flat 4.25% state income tax and a single statewide 6% sales/use tax with no local add-on. The wrinkle for contractors is city income tax — if your crews live or work in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or another taxing city, you withhold that city's tax — plus 6% use tax on materials. We keep your job costs and payroll withholding straight. On top of that, Michigan has a flat 4.25% state income tax, and we keep your records ready for it.
