"I chose AccountingPRO™ over other QuickBooks® systems available to builders because of its capability to provide traditional accounting reports as well as the detailed job cost reports that I wanted. I also find that it is very flexible. This is important to me because I handle a variety of jobs, including architectural design, building, and remodeling and I find that I can easily adapt it to my company's unique circumstances. It lets me create my own job costing system inside its prebuilt structure.

Additionally, we use a variety of invoicing methods--lump sum, percentage of completion, and cost plus, and AccountingPRO™ works well with QuickBooks® to allow me to use these variations. I also like how I can adapt the system to work with a separate estimating software and database. After a contract is signed, I will re-create the estimate in the AccountingPRO™ template. I then use the estimate as a guide to create purchase orders, which in turn easily convert to bills that are automatically assigned to the correct jobs and job stage codes. Then I can see reports that compare my estimates to income and costs, and adjust my estimating database accordingly."

Your AccountingPRO™ template has helped me nail down my estimating and accounting system. I know that this is a system that will grow and adapt to my needs for future growth".
