Job Profitability Visible Before Project Completion

The Transformation

Our Approach

A BEI Senior Advisor led the complete transformation:

QuickBooks Restructuring: Complete chart of accounts redesign for construction-specific job costing, work-in-progress, and retention tracking.

Cash-to-Accrual Conversion: Proper percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, expense matching, and WIP tracking that reflects economic reality.

System Integration: Connected QuickBooks with third-party construction management software—eliminating duplicate entry and enabling comprehensive job cost reporting.

"We used to find out a job lost money three months after it was done. Now we can see it happening and actually do something about it."

The Outcome

Leadership can now make decisions based on accurate, timely financial data. Job profitability is visible in real-time. Project managers and executives are aligned on the same numbers. The company has the financial visibility expected of a growing construction enterprise—supporting better project selection, pricing decisions, and resource planning.
