For 2019, there is a new accounting standard (ASC 606) that Baldwin will be implementing that relates to how revenue is recognized. This standard is especially relevant to contractors.

In order to assist you in this endeavor, we have created a spreadsheet that will need to be used to analyze each contract in progress at the end of both 2018 and 2019.
We’ve tried to make this as simple as possible, but we realize that this is a major change to your accounting policies. We will be glad to assist you, if needed, in filling out these schedules and helping you determine the proper recognition of revenue on your projects.
Please feel free to reach out to Chris Hatcher, Myron Fisher, or Barb Lasky with any questions and we will help you walk through this major new change.
