Know the true profit of every job. Assign labor, materials, subcontractors, and equipment to each project, compare estimates to actuals in real time, and catch overruns before they eat your margin.
See Enterprise Pricing Call (888) 565-6522Plenty of businesses know whether the company made money this year. Far fewer can tell you which individual jobs made money — and which quietly lost it. Without job costing, a profitable-looking year can hide projects that ran over on labor, materials that were never billed back, and bids that were wrong from the start. Job costing turns that guesswork into hard numbers.
Job costing in QuickBooks Enterprise lets you assign every cost — labor, materials, subcontractors, and equipment — to the specific job it belongs to, then compare those actual costs against your estimate in real time. It’s included in every Enterprise edition, and goes deepest in the Contractor industry edition with phases, change orders, and construction-specific reports. CPAWarehouse is an authorized Intuit reseller offering every edition at up to 20% below MSRP.
A complete job-costing toolset built into QuickBooks Enterprise.
Tie labor, materials, subcontractor bills, and equipment costs directly to the job they belong to. Every purchase order, bill, check, and timesheet can carry a job, so your job cost reports reflect the full, true cost of the work — not just the obvious line items.
Build an estimate for each job, then track actual costs against it as the work progresses. QuickBooks shows budget-versus-actual in real time, so you see a job drifting over before it’s finished — while you can still do something about the margin.
Break larger jobs into phases and cost codes — site work, framing, electrical, finish — and cost each one separately. You see exactly where a job makes or loses money, and your estimating gets sharper as you build a history of real costs by phase.
Track approved change orders separately from the original estimate, with a clear cost and price impact for each. Job reports always reflect the current contract value, and clients get a clean paper trail that reduces disputes at invoice time.
Capture employee and subcontractor time against jobs and mark expenses billable, then flow them onto invoices automatically. Nothing reimbursable slips through unbilled, and labor cost lands on the job where it belongs for accurate profitability.
Issue purchase orders and subcontractor commitments against a job so you can see committed costs — money already promised — alongside what’s been spent. That forward view keeps jobs from quietly blowing the budget on costs not yet invoiced.
Run job profitability, cost-to-complete, estimate-versus-actual, unbilled costs, and work-in-progress reports. More than 200 built-in reports — especially in the Contractor edition — give you the numbers your team, your accountant, and your bonding company expect.
Bill jobs by percentage complete, by milestone, or against an estimate, converting estimates to invoices without re-entering data. Billing stays tied to the job, so what you invoice and what you’ve costed always line up.
Margin lives at the job level — job costing is how you protect it.
Know which jobs, clients, and types of work actually make money — so you pursue more of the profitable work and reprice or decline the rest.
Real-time budget-versus-actual flags a job going over while it’s still in progress, giving you a chance to correct course before the margin is gone.
Billable time and expense tracking makes sure reimbursable costs and change orders actually reach the invoice instead of eroding profit.
A history of estimate-versus-actual on past jobs tells you what work really costs, so your next bid is priced on data instead of hope.
Work-in-progress and cost-to-complete reports give banks and bonding companies the schedules they require, supporting financing and larger contracts.
Costs, billing, payroll, and reporting all share the same job data, so your job costs and your financials always agree — no separate spreadsheets to reconcile.
