1. Know exactly how much money you’re making
Break things down to the General Ledger level on a project basis, so you know what you’re doing per job and overall.
“I installed 50 last month, what’s my profit?” “Which jobs had the highest and lowest profit margins?”
2. Allocate and track materials by job with unlimited locations
Categorize materials as assets. From the PO, you can ID the jobs and delivery locations that the materials are going to.
Then have inventory that’s used on a job automatically roll up to the invoice in AP so you can collect money for all that was used. Look at Job’s information at any time during the project and see materials that are cost to it so you can manage as needed. Bill by line item, invoice, or retention for earned amounts
3. Capture time on the job and automatically sync with Payroll
Use the import time card option to bring in remote time entry from workers’ phones or computers via any time card entry software.
The labor hours automatically import into AccountMate’s Payroll module and post worker’s compensation costs, or they can be sent to an external payroll system or service. Invoice your customer’s actual, estimated, or set-aside hours.
4. Set up templates for estimates to save time and ensure quality
Begin each job by using a template that meets your standards for materials, labor, equipment, costs, margins, and more, for that job type.
This ensures that jobs are set up optimally from the beginning, with consistency across your organization and with faster training for new estimators to learn how you do things. Then customize that estimate to fit the job.
5. Choose your method for pricing and billing
Specify your retention percentages and calculate how much you’ve earned. Automatically update retention percentages and invoices when change orders are issued.
Or specify cost-based or estimate-based prices for time and materials with a markup. Assign different markups depending on the type of cost. Change the unit price and it changes the unit markup, or vice versa.
6. Monitor your earnings as a job progresses
See your original estimate and working estimates at a glance to compare actual costs to the estimates.
See how much you’ve earned to date and billed to date per job.
