FOUNDATION Software, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct Construction, and Trimble Viewpoint Spectrum all handle the full financial picture a construction company actually runs on, general ledger, AP and AR, certified and union payroll, retainage, and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting across every job at once, not just QuickBooks Online with a construction label on it.
This is a bigger scope than job costing, it's the whole back office: paying subs and vendors, collecting from owners, running payroll (including certified and prevailing-wage rules), and producing WIP reports that tell you whether the company as a whole is over- or under-billed, not just whether one job is on budget. Job costing, tracking actual cost against budget by job and phase, is one input into that picture, not the whole thing; if that narrower piece is really what's missing, see our construction job costing software page instead. We start with how your office actually runs today, what's still in spreadsheets, what QuickBooks can't handle anymore, whether you're bonded and need WIP schedules for a surety, and narrow the field to a system built for construction accounting specifically, not retrofitted general ledger software.
We're not tied to any one construction accounting software vendor, so our job is finding what actually fits how your team works, not pushing whichever platform we know best. We'll narrow the field, help you implement whichever construction accounting software you pick, and connect it to the rest of your business once it's in.
We look at how your team actually operates, not a generic construction accounting software feature list, and narrow the real options down to the ones that fit. No commission on construction accounting software, no vendor bias.
Implementation, data migration, and connecting your construction accounting software to the rest of what your business runs on, so it's working on day one instead of half-configured for a month.
We build it. Construction accounting software built around your actual operational style, not one you adapt your business to, with no learning curve for staff because it already matches how they work.
Tell us where things stand with construction accounting software, whether that's "we have no idea what to use" or "we picked something and it's not fitting." We'll tell you what's realistic.

We'll ask what the day-to-day looks like, what's non-negotiable, and what's broken a different way in every construction accounting software option you're considering, then narrow it down to the ones that genuinely fit instead of the ones with the best marketing.
No. We're not an affiliate for any construction accounting software vendor, so there's no reason for us to steer you toward one option over another except whether it actually fits how you work.
That happens more than people expect with construction accounting software, especially for businesses with a workflow that doesn't match how most off-the-shelf options assume a business like yours runs. When that's the case, we build a construction accounting software replacement custom around your actual process instead of asking your team to adapt to someone else's.
The opposite, usually, with construction accounting software specifically. Off-the-shelf construction accounting software has a learning curve because it's built for a generic version of your business, not yours specifically. We pick or build construction accounting software around how your team already works, so nobody has to learn a new way of doing their job, it matches the one they already have.
Yes. Tell us where things stand with construction accounting software, we'll tell you what it takes and what it costs, whether that's picking something off-the-shelf, implementing it, or building something custom. The decision on construction accounting software stays yours either way.
Job costing is the piece that tracks actual cost against budget on a specific job or phase. Construction accounting is the whole back office that job costing feeds into: AP, AR, payroll, retainage, and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting across every job at once. A lot of platforms do both under one roof, FOUNDATION and Sage 100 Contractor among them, but if all you're missing is tighter job-level cost tracking and the rest of your accounting works fine, the narrower job-costing page is the better starting point.
