A Buyer's Guide to Construction Software

Construction Accounting Software & Job Costing

Construction job cost accounting software will give you better control over job costs, help manage risks and generally "speak your language." More than just simple tax compliance and financial management, accounting and job costing systems offer powerful reports, providing valuable insight into project status. Additional features to look for are T&M billing with automated invoicing, payroll processing, equipment tracking and AIA progress billings.

 

Contractor accounting software packages vary in levels of functionality and pricing. General contractor software will be much different from programs for construction management firms with multiple payrolls across different states. What’s more, accounting software can be purchased by itself or integrated with construction project management software, service management software and construction estimating software. If you are looking for a cross-industry solution, visit our main accounting software page for more reviews. Or, to see a list of certified public accountants (CPAs) with experience in the construction industry, visit our construction CPA directory.
