Xero Accounting Online is a great program for small contractors but it may not the power to do what you need it to do.
It is similar to the reason why a $50 circular saw is a bargain and may work great for a handyman doing some minor projects and yet for a construction contractor it simply is not robust enough to get the job done.
Do you own a general construction company that specializes in residential remodeling or a commercial tenant improvement construction company?
Maybe you own a construction contractor company that needs to track Job Deposits, Progress Billing, Estimates Vs. Actual Reporting, Job Costing Reports, Work-In-Process Tracking / Reporting (WIP) and complex multiple Payment Applications showing the entire job history including change order management linked to your own custom Schedule of Values (SOV) or one built on the standard 16 or 50 CSI codes?
If this describes you then perhaps QuickBooks is a better fit for you than Xero. We are well versed in both Xero Accounting software and QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, QuickBooks For Contractors, QuickBooks Contractors, QuickBooks Enterprise in all versions from the first DOS version through the most current QuickBooks.
