Prevailing Wage Work Isn’t Like Regular Bookkeeping

A late certified payroll report can hold up your payment, and a misclassified worker can trigger a DIR audit. Most firms treat construction like any other business. Tidwell doesn’t.

We help with the payroll records, DIR submissions, and fringe benefit tracking these jobs involve, working from the rates you provide. You get a bookkeeper who gets contractors.

Certified Payroll & Prevailing Wage Services

DIR Reporting & Certified Payroll
We prepare and submit your certified payroll records through California’s DIR portal, helping keep your reporting organized and on time.
Certified Payroll 
Records
We record the wage rates and classifications you provide, track fringe benefit contributions, and organize your certified payroll records for public works projects.
 Monthly Construction 
Bookkeeping
Beyond payroll, we keep your books clean: reconciliations, AP/AR, equipment tracking, and financials structured the way contractors actually read them.

Why Contractors Choose Tidwell

Organized and On Time
Certified payroll, DIR, and prevailing wage records kept organized and current.

Built for Trades
Payroll and bookkeeping designed around how contractors actually operate.
