About Us
Gillian Schwab, CPA
Founder & CEO
In construction, every dollar counts—but too often, poor financial management erodes profits.
At Prentice-Schwab, we make sure that doesn’t happen.
We don’t just manage finances—we transform construction businesses from the ground up.
With over 10 years of experience in the construction industry, we understand the unique challenges builders face when it comes to profitability and financial clarity.
Our mission is simple:
To help construction business owners boost profits, control costs, and master their finances, so they can run their companies with confidence and peace of mind.
I’m Gillian Schwab, and my journey into accounting began while working for a large general contractor in Seattle.
As I dove deeper into the financial side of construction, I saw firsthand how poor financial management could destroy a project’s profitability.
Determined to make a difference, I pursued my CPA license and started Prentice-Schwab.
My passion for this industry and business success runs deep—it’s in my blood, inspired by my own family’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Our clients trust us to deliver real results because we dive into the details, just like we did with one of our long-term clients who came to us with constant cost overruns and inconsistent job tracking.
After implementing our specialized job costing system, they saw an increase in profit margins and a decrease in cost overruns. This empowered them to make strategic, data-backed decisions.
Another client had been receiving inaccurate invoices. We stepped in, identified the discrepancies, and saved them thousands of dollars by ensuring every invoice aligned with contract terms.
It’s stories like these that drive us every day.
We’re not just another bookkeeping service—we’re partners in your success, and we care about your business as much as you do.
As one client put it, “No one cares about your money as much as you do—except Gillian.” And they’re right.
I treat your business as if it were my own, with an unwavering commitment to helping you boost profits, control costs, and master your finances, all with minimal time investment from you.
We’re not just managing numbers—we’re building a solid foundation for your business’s future, one that empowers you to make smarter, faster decisions with confidence.
If you’re ready to take control of your finances and achieve new levels of profitability, let’s build your financial success together.
I’ve found that people who commit to transforming their finances often discover that the payoff extends far beyond their bottom line.
They feel more in control of their time, their decisions, and ultimately their future.
If you’re ready to take control of your finances and achieve new levels of profitability, let’s build your financial success together.
