Making decisions never ends for contractors like you. Being adaptable is one of the basics of good decision-making skills.

Think of decision-making as being in a bumper car. You are continually driving and trying to avoid the other bumper cars. Suppose you hit one you back up and go again (reminder this is the only safe place to hit other vehicles). The rest of the time, life as a contractor feels more like the Indy 500. You are driving as fast as you can, passing other cars, making pit stops, and scrambling to make it to the finish line.

Translate this to a typical daily life of a construction contractor:

• The paperwork, processes, and decision-making are never-ending
• The concept of time is all about 10 minutes
• Your coffee brews in less than 10 minutes
• Take a shower in less than 10 minutes
• Load the dishwasher in 10 minutes
• Take out the trash in less than 5 minutes
• Read your email in less than 5 minutes
• Decide what bills to pay in less than 5 minutes
  

Each contractor type has unique construction accounting needs, which means if the QuickBooks process is custom-fitted to each construction company's needs, it is a beautiful thing.

We have listened as our contractor clients have described to fellow contractors how "fast and easy QuickBooks is and what wonderful reports it generates," while the other contractor will tell in no uncertain terms what a piece of junk it is. The difference is in the QuickBooks set up. Two woodsmen will cut and stack vastly different firewood piles in a day if one uses a chainsaw as it was intended and the other uses it as a cross-cut saw. Same tool, different result!

QuickBooks users are generally not stumped by the software; they are confused by the accounting information necessary to complete the transactions. Quick access to correct information is essential to maintain the accuracy of your financial records.

There are no limits to the number of items that can be entered into QuickBooks improperly. Messy files build transaction by transaction or merely put invoice by invoice, receipt by receipt can all be entered into QuickBooks incorrectly. No pop-up will say, "This Is WRONG" – Do It Over.

Two Construction Companies do similar work for the similar customers using similar labor, materials, and subcontractors yet Company "A" earns twice the profits over Company "B."
