Contractors Do You Want To Know How Much Profit You Made On Your Last Job So You Can Earn More On The Next One

At the end of a job when you deposit the final check into the bank do you look at your current balance and wonder where all the money went? Do you have enough money to operate and grow your construction company or are you giving it all away to labor, material, other costs and subcontractors?

If so, you are not alone. We have worked with many construction business owners who were struggling with job costing. The good news is there is an easy solution to your job costing challenges. You're in the exact right place to learn about solution designed especially to help you read and understand your Job Costing and Job Profitability reports without having to setup QuickBooks and generate the reports yourself.

Most Contractors with yearly sales volume over five million dollars have extensive job costing and job profitability reporting systems including comprehensive historical job cost libraries so they know how much each task cost and they use that information to know which projects to bid on and which ones to let go. As Kenny Rogers says: "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run."

Most Contractors with yearly sales volume under five million dollars can't afford a job costing and job profitability reporting system so they search the web looking for answers and end up with a headache from all the chaos and confusion.
