Bookkeeping for Plumbers
Bookkeeping for Plumbers in Ontario
Ridge & Ledger provides monthly bookkeeping for plumbing businesses in Ontario, with service-call, supplier, and owner-directed job records. Monthly scope and price are confirmed through the paid Roadmap.
Plumbing work generates a constant stream of small parts purchases, emergency-call invoices, and supplier statements. The records need to distinguish a service visit from a quoted project before the costs can tell a useful story.

The records your business actually generates
- Emergency-call invoices, quoted-job invoices, deposits, and collections
- Parts purchases, wholesaler statements, and supplier credits
- Vehicle fuel, tool purchases, permit costs, and subcontractor bills
- Jobber exports, bank activity, card feeds, and payment deposits
Monthly workflow
How the record trail moves through month end
- Import completed plumbing jobs and issued invoices after dispatch records are closed.
- Match parts and supplier bills to the service or project codes supplied by the owner.
- Reconcile deposits and financial accounts, then flag unbilled calls, unmatched wholesaler credits, and missing receipts.
