FinTruction · Construction Clients
Real US-based contractors. Same team, same operational discipline that we now bring to gas stations. Construction is a different vertical - but the muscle (multi-stream books, cost reconciliation, niche specialization) is the same one stations need.
"They didn't just record transactions and call it a day. They built a custom chart of accounts around how a remodeling company actually runs, did a full catch-up on years of bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online, and now stay on top of my monthly bookkeeping and payroll."
Oniel Campbell
"Sahil and his team have been handling the bookkeeping and job costing for my painting business. They've done a great job cleaning up my books, using integrations to give me accurate, timely job costing and solid weekly data. Reliable, and the team is very detailed."
Dalton Mayberry
"They rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up, with real job costing, WIP, and retainage."
Carl Moore
Owner, Hearth & Haus
"They set the accounts up properly first, then cleaned up everything I never entered."
Rolian
"When I came to them I had no financial structure in place at all. No job costing, no WIP tracking, books were behind, no real way to tell if any job was actually making money. They came in, did a full cleanup, and set up job costing and WIP tracking inside QuickBooks."

The Rapid City market
Ellsworth Air Force Base's military fleet traffic and the region's cattle ranching and seasonal travel economy shape this market, spanning Box Elder, Sturgis, Spearfish, Hill City, Custer, and Keystone. No state income tax simplifies entity planning, but petroleum retail accounting still needs to separate seasonal summer volume, military fleet fueling, and ranching-driven demand from a normal baseline month. Fuel distributor accounting that tracks each of those patterns separately is what keeps a Rapid City operation's numbers meaningful.
Daily books
Clean books start with daily work. Our gas station bookkeeping in Rapid City reconciles POS to bank across cash, credit, debit, and fleet cards every day, matches fuel to your jobber statements, and keeps every transaction categorized - so you're never looking at numbers that are 30 days old.
We work directly in your QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage file from your CStoreOffice, PDI, SSCS, or Petrosoft exports - no migration, no on-site visit, just accurate SD-compliant books and an on-time monthly close.
Every revenue stream gets its own line - fuel, merchandise, car wash, lottery, ATM, and whatever else runs through your registers - so nothing gets blended into a single number you can't act on. You get a one-page owner report every month, plus Accountant-ready financials your outside accountant or tax preparer can use at filing time without asking you to explain your own books first.
The store side
As your C-Store Accountant in Rapid City, we handle the store side most fuel accountants ignore - category-level merchandise margins, foodservice and deli cost, multi-category sales tax, and lottery, ATM, and money-order activity.
What we handle in Rapid City
21 services across fuel, store, tax, and multi-site operations - so nothing about your station runs on guesswork.
About FuelCFO
FuelCFO is a petroleum accountant Rapid City by focus, not by accident. We don't also do restaurants and law firms - we do fuel retail and convenience stores, every day, which is how we know wet stock variance, jobber credits, prepaid fuel tax, and per-grade COGS cold.
That focus means Rapid City owners get an accountant who already speaks their language: Gilbarco and Verifone, CStoreOffice and PDI, WEX and Comdata, fuel excise and multi-category sales tax. No ramp-up, no explaining your business - just clean books and clear numbers from month one.
We work remotely with station owners nationwide - one location or fifty, branded or unbranded - so Rapid City owners get the same dedicated team every month, not a rotating pool of generalist bookkeepers. That consistency is what lets us catch a shrinking fuel margin or a missed jobber credit before it costs you real money, instead of finding it months later at tax time.
