Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you different from a regular accounting firm?
Stream was founded by a contractor and a CPA—so we don’t just understand the numbers, we understand the industry from the inside. Most accountants only learn about construction in textbooks, but they’ve never dealt with crews, equipment, cash flow swings, or change orders in real life. We’ve lived it. That’s why our approach goes beyond generic accounting: we solve the real-world financial challenges contractors face every day, with strategies built specifically for your business.
Do you only work with contractors in Texas?
No. While we’re based in the DFW area, we work with contractors across the U.S. through secure cloud-based tools.
Are there any long-term contracts?
No, we do not require contracts in order to retain customers. The results we provide for our clients are why our clients stay on board.
Do you handle both bookkeeping and taxes?
Yes. Bookkeeping, payroll, job costing, and tax filing—everything in one place.
What software do you use?
QuickBooks Online and other contractor-friendly apps. If you’re on spreadsheets or a different system, we’ll help you transition.
Do you work with solo contractors or only bigger companies?
Both. Whether you’re just starting out or running multiple crews, we tailor services to fit your size and growth stage.
My books are a mess. Can you catch me up?
Absolutely. We specialize in cleanup and getting you current — no judgment.
Can you help me switch from my current CPA/bookkeeper?
Yes. We handle the transition for you so it’s smooth, simple, and headache-free.
