The most powerful QuickBooks Desktop platform for construction — advanced job costing, change order tracking, and GPS field crew management in one system.
See Pricing — Up to 20% Off Call (888) 565-6522Running a contracting business means managing jobs that span weeks or months, crews in the field, subcontractors coming and going, material costs that fluctuate, and clients who want detailed reports of every dollar spent. Standard accounting software wasn’t built for that. QuickBooks Enterprise Contractor Edition was.
QuickBooks Enterprise for Contractors is Intuit’s top-tier desktop accounting platform, purpose-built for the construction industry. It combines job costing, project management, subcontractor tracking, advanced inventory, and financial reporting into a single system — supporting up to 40 simultaneous users. CPAWarehouse is an authorized Intuit reseller offering QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise at up to 20% below MSRP.
If your business has outgrown 3 users, slow data files, or limited job reporting — Enterprise removes every one of those limits.
Office staff, project managers, estimators, and field supervisors all work in the same file at the same time. Pro caps at 3 users. Premier caps at 5. Enterprise scales with your team.
Enterprise handles data files up to six times larger than Pro or Premier, so your system stays fast as your project history grows year over year — no more year-end slowdowns.
Job profitability, cost-to-complete, work in progress schedules, and estimate vs. actual comparisons — over 200 reports not available in smaller QuickBooks editions.
Every feature below is included — designed to give you real-time control over every project and eliminate the manual work that slows construction businesses down.
Track estimated costs against actual costs in real time across every active project. Assign direct costs — labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment — to specific jobs and phases. QuickBooks compares budget vs. actual automatically, so you react the moment a job starts running over margin. Billing rates can vary by employee, task, or project difficulty.
Ships with a pre-configured chart of accounts built for construction — not adapted from a retail template. WIP, labor costs, materials, subcontractor expenses, retention receivable, and overhead allocation are all set up correctly from day one, giving you the structured view that banks and bonding companies expect.
Tracks approved change orders separately from the original estimate. Every change is documented with a clear cost impact, and job cost reports always reflect the current contract value — not a jumbled mix of original and changes. Clients get a clean paper trail, reducing disputes at invoice time.
Create detailed job estimates by cost code, service type, or phase. Convert estimates to invoices — billing by percentage complete, dollar amount, or specific service items — without re-entering any data. Customer deposits are automatically applied when the invoice is created.
Subcontractors are set up as vendors with linked purchase orders, bills, and 1099 tracking. When you commit a subcontractor to a job, a PO ties back to your job cost budget. Bills are matched against the PO and costs flow directly into job cost reports — giving you a complete picture of committed vs. spent.
Assign different billing rates to employees based on the job, task difficulty, or experience level. A foreman bills at one rate; a laborer at another; equipment operators at a third. Rates flow automatically into invoices and job cost reports without manual adjustments.
Schedule vendor bill payments in advance and pay via check or bank transfer. QuickBooks marks the bill paid and notifies you when the payment is processed — eliminating the manual follow-up that consumes accounts payable time and preventing late fees on active jobs.
Create work orders directly from estimates and convert them to invoices as work is completed. Linked sales orders and purchase orders give you a consolidated view of what’s been ordered, what’s been received, and what delivery timelines look like for materials tied to specific jobs.
Real-time stock tracking across multiple warehouse locations or job sites. Barcode scanning, serial/lot number traceability, automated reorder points, FIFO costing, and inventory transfers between job sites — giving you accurate material cost calculations for job profitability reporting.
QuickBooks Time Elite included in Diamond. Workers clock in/out on a smartphone app; you see exactly where they are, which job they’re on, and how many hours logged. GPS-verified timesheets eliminate manual time card entry and reduce payroll padding.
The features above translate into measurable wins across your projects, your team, and your bottom line.
Live job cost data across all active projects — never rely on week-old reports. When costs on a job spike, you see it immediately, not after the project is over and the margin is gone.
Automated billing workflows connected directly to your job cost system eliminate manual re-entry. Change orders are tracked. Prepayments applied automatically. Estimates convert to invoices without re-keying numbers.
As you take on more projects, hire more staff, or expand into new service areas, the platform scales without a system migration. Data capacity, user count, and feature set all expand within the same platform.
Gold and Platinum include Enhanced Payroll with automated tax calculations and direct deposit. Diamond adds Assisted Payroll — Intuit handles your filings and W-2s. Both support certified payroll on government contracts.
All subcontractor commitments, payments, and 1099 obligations tracked in one place. No end-of-year scramble to reconstruct sub payments. Every PO, bill, and payment is linked to the job it belongs to.
Control exactly what each user can see and do across up to 40 users. A project manager can enter job costs without seeing payroll. An estimator can create bids without accessing bank accounts.
With QuickBooks Time Elite (Diamond), field workers clock in on their phones and hours flow directly into payroll and job costing. GPS verification confirms workers were on-site when they clocked in.
Every completed project builds a history of estimated vs. actual costs. Over time, this data makes your bids more accurate — you know what labor really costs on a framing job and where your margin tends to erode.
Every QuickBooks Enterprise subscription includes Priority Circle — Intuit’s VIP support tier with 24/7 access to senior QuickBooks specialists and priority callback when you need it most.
Each tier builds on the one below it. Higher editions include everything in the lower tier plus additional capabilities.
