Lately a lot of contractors like you are discovering the need to get better financial and job costing reporting from their accounting software in order to stay competitive and know in advance which jobs to bid on that have a history of making your construction company a reasonable profit and which ones to ignore.
The main problem is that as a contractor you live and work in a "Tangible" world and in doing so you have developed and honed your intelligence and resources to master the art and science of building, repairing and remodeling homes and commercial buildings. Furthermore, you and your crew, your customers and clients judge the results of your work using the Five Primary Senses:
-
Sight
-
Sound
-
Touch
-
Smell
-
Taste
This is good and necessary; however, construction accounting, financial reports and job costing reporting are "Intangible" and the only evidence that any of it exists is in the paper, receipts, bills, invoices, packing slips, deposit slips, bank statements, contracts and other paper and electronic documents; in other words a big pile of papers.
You look at the piles and your mind wants to make sense of it all, your mind tries to form pictures of how it all relates together and in the end the images crash and burn! The real issue is Construction Accounting Vs. Regular Accounting...click for more.
