CRAFTSMAN BOOKS CONTRACTORTOOLS REVIEW SOFTWARE

These various software systems operated independently of one another.

Just a few short years ago, the various aspects of running a construction company were broken up into various parts – estimating had their software tools, project managers had their software tools and accounting had their software tools. Think about the ramifications of that for a second.

Yet, the beauty of app integrations with other cloud based software is that now you can take your accounting software – QuickBooks Online – and link it directly to your project management software – for instance, Knowify – and have all the integrated project management and accounting data be magically imported into QuickBooks Online without having to do any manual data entry from one program to the other. As a Construction Accounting Specialist, I would say that the majority of construction companies (of any size) should not attempt to manage their construction business accounting solely through QuickBooks Online. Back to our original proposition – if anyone has ever told you that QuickBooks Online just doesn’t have enough features for you to properly manage your construction business then you should know that they’re right. Why, you may be asking, does this matter to me in terms of my construction business. Cloud computing and SaaS programs – “apps” – are really the future of small business management. QuickBooks Online is designed to be run from the cloud and one of the major benefits of this cloud computing model is the ability for QuickBooks Online to integrate fairly seamlessly with other cloud based apps. So, what is SaaS? No, it’s not the lip that you used to give your mom and for which you were sent to bed without your supper. However, to truly understand QuickBooks Online you must understand the idea of SaaS, cloud computing, and app integrations. Don’t get me wrong, QuickBooks Desktop is still a powerful piece of software and it is still being improved upon by the great folks at Intuit. There are still quite a few accounting professionals who tend to think of QuickBooks Online in the same way as they view the QuickBooks Desktop software package. If you are a construction company owner who has been told that QuickBooks Online won’t work for your construction business, you may want to take a second look. I wanted to share it here for our readership as well (with a few minor changes.) Have you heard it won’t? I was originally asked to write this article for QBOChat where it was published back on March 8th.
