QuickBooks® for Contractors Bookkeeping Tips & Training

Bookkeeping Tips & Training for Commercial/Government Construction Contractors using QuickBooks®

Frustrated by QuickBooks®?  Learn how to get the MAXIMUM possible results from QuickBooks® for your construction business!

Running a construction business is a difficult job, especially in this economy – when now more than ever you need to rely on accurate job costing.

Wondering where all the cash is going and if all of the job costs are being captured is enough to baffle just about any business owner and some bookkeepers too.

When the bottom-line profit from your construction business seems to be shrinking – it’s a given that you need to take a close look at your books and get them into shape.

Do you wonder if your QuickBooks® job costing reports are providing you with accurate information?  Perhaps:

your bookkeeper says "I don't know how to do this" or "QuickBooks® can't do that"

Yes, QuickBooks® is a generic bookkeeping and accounting program, designed to be used by every type of business that you can imagine. If it was industry specific, well it would have the same big price tag as those high-end construction specific program!
