Questions.
Where do the hours and costs come from?
From what you already record. Hours come from your time tracking app or timesheets, and materials from the bills and receipts in your accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online or Xero. Each cost goes to the job, project or class it was entered under. Labor is costed at the hourly rates you set, or from payroll once it runs.
Doesn't QuickBooks already do this?
QuickBooks Online Plus and Advanced, and Xero, include project tracking that shows profit per project when every cost is entered against it. We add hours from your time tracking app, receipts matched to the right job, an alert when a job passes its quote and one list of finished jobs by margin. If you already use projects there, we build on them where the software allows it.
Does it include overhead?
Yes, if you want it. We build in the way you or your accountant share overhead across jobs.
Do I need to change accounting software?
No. We connect to the software you use now where it allows it.
What does job costing cost?
The price depends on what we build. We quote the work before anything starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
